Home cooked meals that feed the whole family
We started Family meals because we wanted to serve the immediate community in the best way we know how, with food. We believe a meal with family can heal wounds, change opinions, and actually change the world. Speaking as Jesse: So much of my life has been influenced by sitting around the table sharing a meal with family and friends alike. Back to my earliest memory in the kitchen with my mother helping her crush the tomatoes for the salsa with my bare hands, to cooking here in my kitchen for your family, I have always loved being a part of the reason we all come together. I have also known from a very young age that sitting around the table together, was a special time.

Meet Chef Jesse
Jesse Smith, is the founder and head chef of Familymeals. Jesse is a Seattle born chef that has over 20 years of professional culinary industry experience. Jesse prior to family meals, was the Executive Chef at several restaurants including Bizzaro café, and Pinkys. With stints at fine dining establishments such as Revel and the Space Needle, Jesse brings fine dining skills to accessible meals designed around what he would make at home for his family.
Raised in Arlington on his family’s farm, he has always had a close connection with food. He now lives in Seattle with his wife and 2 daughters. After watching many of his colleagues struggle to be both a father and a chef, he decided to forge a new path to make time for his family, and began a chef driven hot lunch program for elementary schools, that has been wildly popular with both the Kids and Teachers at the schools his company services, and are expanding rapidly, to new schools. In the 3rd year of this business, Covid-19 happened. As everyone scrambled to figure out the next step, Jesse started FamilyMeals, a community-based meals program, to continue to serve the community he so deeply loves. Jesse is now expanding this program to the greater Seattle area to provide restaurant quality, significant portioned, family style meals that feed anywhere from 4 hungry adults to 8, with leftovers!
Meet Chef Max
At the age of 31, Chef Maximillian Petty has approached his culinary career much like each dish that he creates: imaginative, purposeful, and without boundaries. With aspirations well beyond his years, Maximillian started cooking at the age of 11 and shortly after, realized that he had a natural skillfulness and interest in cooking as a career. It would combine with his love of art, fascination with technology and his relentless desire to learn. His fast tracked career has included positions at Jose Andres’ Zaytinya in Washington, D.C.; King Estate Winery in Eugene, Oregon; and Olivia in Austin, Texas, where he became executive chef at age 23.
The creativity, dedication and discipline necessary to be an award-winning chef under the age of 30 was further recognized as a semifinalist for James Beard Award Rising Star of the Year in 2016, 2017 and 2018. His signature style and applied talent have created a notable chef with a solid reputation for intriguing and imaginative dishes at Eden Hill. He has recently opened Eden Hill Provisions down the street on Queen Anne. A counter service family restaurant focused around community and the perfect cheeseburger. Getting involved with Family Meals has been a perfect blend of both passions and approaches towards food and family.
Delicious Food Reviews
“Chef Jesse is a real life family man and cooks from the heart. There’s a great combo of classic dishes and experimentation with different cuisines, it’s always fresh and delicious!”
REXTON C
“Family meals has saved my sanity many an evening. Knowing that we would get a delicious meal, amazing quality and something everyone in the family loved made it easy for me to justify ordering and me not needing to cook was the cherry on top! Also, since there is always a ton of food – it usually meant a couple of lunches were covered too. Win win all the way around!!”
JESSICA M

No, not at all! You can order just one meal at a time, but our subscription program offers weekly discounts and specials, and you can cancel anytime!
Our meals are always 60 dollars, with free delivery!
Our meals are really designed to feed the whole family. Our portions easily feed 4 large adults and up to 8. Our lasagna for instance, feeds 12! Still 60 bucks.
Not at this time. As our program expands, we will have more options.
LOL. No. We wouldn't do you like that. Leave the cooking to me, thats the whole point right?! You just gotta heat it up.
You will definitely have some! The food will last 3 or 4 days in the fridge, significantly less time on the counter.
In addition to providing affordable meals, you can use our "share a FamilyMeal" program to purchase a meal for a family in need! A portion of every single meal will go to support one our partnered charities, organizations that we believe are doing good things for our community.
