It’s 6 o’clock and you just walked in the front door after work. The first question from your family is “What’s for dinner?” In less time than it takes to drive to the nearest fast-food restaurant and for less money than a combo meal at the drive-through, San Antonio families can now put a delicious, nutritious dinner on the table without stepping into a grocery store. What’s the secret? Super Suppers! Super Suppers of San Antonio, one of the first entrée-assembly companies in the city, just opened a new location in the Sunset Ridge shopping center at 6450 N. New Braunfels. The store was launched by Sue and Dominic Locastro and Jackie and Rick Fisher. “We are so pleased to offer this exciting new concept to residents in San Antonio,” says Jackie, who manages the operation. “It’s a fresh new idea that will not only help families eat healthier, but with an average cost of approximately $4 per serving, Super Suppers will save them time and money.” Super Suppers is a studio kitchen where customers can make a month’s worth of family-sized meals in less than two hours. There are 12 menu options that rotate monthly to choose from, all of them developed by professional chefs. The owners do all the shopping and function as top-line sous chefs, washing, chopping, dicing and slicing up all the ingredients in advance to ensure ease of assembly. Customers can “walk in” at their convenience or sign up online, and then select the family-sized entrees they want to make. Assembling the entrees in the attractive studio kitchen is easy and fun. Customers rotate through organized prep stations, conversing and assembling meals to their tastes (Don’t like onions? Leave them out!), while enjoying complimentary refreshments and appetizers.  Assembling the entrees in the attractive studio kitchen is easy and fun. “We’re all so busy with work, school or other activities that, at the end of a long day, there is often just no time to prepare a good, home-cooked dinner,” explains Jackie. “By taking the drudgery out of cooking, Super Suppers gives you back control over your time and makes it easier to eat healthier. Our zero trans-fat menu and online nutritional information for every recipe makes it easy to fit Super Suppers into any weight-loss or healthy eating program.” Super Suppers was founded by Chef Judie Byrd and her staff of professional chefs, headquartered at the Culinary School of Fort Worth. “Our goal all along was to get families back to the dinner table,” Byrd said. “With Super Suppers, a parent can spend an hour or two with us and assemble a month’s worth of delicious meals that can go from freezer to dinner table at their home. We don’t just look at Super Suppers as a food operation; we see ourselves as a healthy lifestyle change. Super Suppers gives you quality food at affordable prices, and gives you back 20 to 30 hours of your own precious time each month.” Super Suppers is one of the fastest-growing franchises in the industry. With its inviting old world Tuscan décor, it is the perfect venue for groups and private parties, such as mom’s night out, baby showers and even birthday parties. Daytime and evening hours are available six days a week to accommodate most schedules. For information on pricing or menus, call 930-5555 or visit the Web site at www.sssunset.com.
