DAVIS, CA - Small gatherings have become a necessity in this new era, but that doesn’t mean consumers want to skimp on splurging for their holiday spreads. In a recent interview with Nugget Markets’ Corporate Executive Chef, Stanislav “Stazi” Dulman, he unveils what the grocer is highlighting as the star of the holiday plate this season. Hint: It’s loaded with fresh produce.

“Our herb-crusted filet mignon is crusted with four different herbs. It’s got thyme, parsley, chives, oregano, as well as Dijon mustard and fresh garlic. We have our brand-new offering, our savory corn pudding, our potato gratin, which is very creamy, rich, and delicious," the chef said in an interview with Fox40. "We have balsamic roasted Brussels sprouts and balsamic roasted shallots, which is a great combination for the filet. And last, we have our herbed carrots.”

Nugget Markets’ Contemporary Holiday Meal is only one offering of many on the retailer’s site. Meals can be purchased as a package deal or ordered à la carte.

The retailer is currently taking orders for its holiday meals, meaning that shoppers can simply place their orders today through December 19 (talk about convenience) and then pick up the meal when they’re available. Could the holidays get any simpler?
