Dream Diners

Business Journal: "Dream Dinners started in early 2002 as a monthly gathering of co-founder Stephanie Firchau's friends, who wanted to socialize for a few hours while they put together a month's worth of meals to take home, freeze and cook later. It turns out her friends weren't the only ones interested in the idea. With a boost from publicity in the national media, the Snohomish company has become a franchising phenomenon just two years later. "
