Make & Take Gourmet: The Meal Dissembly Kitchen

dis·sem·ble \di-ˈsem-bəl\ transitive verb 1 : to hide under a false appearance 2 : to put on the appearance of : simulate intransitive verb : to put on a false appearance : conceal facts, intentions, or feelings under some pretense
Here’s another reason that Make & Take Gourmet deserves consideration as the leading Meal Dissembly Kitchen.
A March 2, 2007 article from CNY Business Journal, which quotes Make & Take Gourmet Chief Operating Diva Michele Bellso, states:
The growth of Make and Take is entirely company funded, Bellso says. The company currently has no investors and has not taken out any loans, she says.
Two months later, a May 4, 2007 article from the self-same CNY Business Journal (“2007 SBA Awards: Small Business Excellence Award Winners, Make & Take Gourmet”) contains the following profile:

SMALL BUSINESS EXCELLENCE AWARD WINNERS

MAKE & TAKE GOURMET

* Headquarters: DeWitt

* Selected by: Solvay Bank

* Owners: Michele Bellso

* Established: 2006

* Type of business: Meal-assembly kitchen

* Financing: 2007 SBA loan for $100,000

Anyone ever applied for and received an SBA loan before?

Maybe Bellso applied for & received a $100,000 SBA loan, was nominated for and received small business excellence award all within 2 months. And, in the words of 20th Century philosopher Wayne Campbell “Maybe monkeys will fly out of my butt!”

It’s more likely that Michele Bellso is truly the Queen of Meal Dissembly.

All Hail the Queen!
