Meal Assembly Watch

The Seslers and the Sweeneys partnered in January to run Foodies, a business in Roanoke County that offers cooking classes, a meal assembly service, box lunches and other food-related services.

Although Foodies has hosted cooking classes since former owner Chris Berry opened it in 2004, the meal assembly is a fairly new addition and one that excites the new owners the most.

But they worry that in these tough economic times, folks who don’t understand meal assembly will assume it’s for families with disposable income.
