My neighbor has been ordering dinners from Mercer Street Meals and has shared a few things with our family. We loved the pineapple upside-down cake that was part of one of the dinners – just like Mom used to make! Is it possible the chef will share the recipe? — Mandy Watkins, Atlanta
Chef Lance Gummere started Mercer Street Meals early in the pandemic, when he began preparing hot, ready-to-eat meals for his Ormewood Park neighbors. Word spread, and the business has grown with customers from all over Atlanta. Gummere now generally offers three family-friendly meals a week, largely comfort food favorites such as beef brisket ravioli or coq au vin, accompanied by sides, salads and usually classic desserts like this pineapple upside-down cake.
