Labor Day lands on a delivery day this year. Orders go out Sunday, September 6 and Monday, September 7 across New Haven County, Hartford County, and most of Fairfield County (Hamden, New Haven, Meriden, Madison, West Hartford, Fairfield, and everywhere in between), so you come out of the long weekend with the week's dinners already in the fridge. The menu fits the holiday too. There's Nashville hot chicken over mac and cheese, a chile-rubbed steak with corn and hot cherry peppers, and stuffed red peppers under melted mozzarella.
Order anything below by Wednesday at midnight and it's at your door that weekend. No contracts. Order à la carte — nothing to commit to.

The nine entrées
Nashville Hot Chicken — Mac and Cheese. Yes, mac and cheese, and yes, it's still 445 calories. $14.65
Chile-Rubbed Steak and Rice — Corn, zucchini, herbs, hot cherry peppers and BBQ sauce. Cookout flavors, no grill to scrub. $17.75
Chile-Rubbed Chicken and Rice — Same corn, cherry peppers and BBQ sauce, with chicken. $15.75
Shrimp & Orzo Pastalaya — Red onion, peppers, chicken sausage, tomatoes and aromatics. A Louisiana pasta jambalaya that takes a whole afternoon to make right. We took the afternoon. $16.55
Korean Beef Saute — Roasted broccoli and garlic-green onion rice. $14.85
Sweet Honey-Garlic Chicken — Green beans, oregano potatoes and pico de gallo. The lightest plate this week at 345 calories. $14.65

Stuffed Red Peppers — Red sauce, turkey, rice and mozzarella. Old-school dinner that reheats like it was made an hour ago. $14.65

New here? You're an SK Insider from your first order
Nothing to join, nothing to sign up for. Each of your first three orders has something worth opening that isn't on the menu — starting with a bottle of Firecracker Sauce in box one — and your fourth order brings a surprise we won't spoil here. We don't do coupons. We do things you can't get anywhere else, and it doesn't stop at four.
