Attention ladies: You CAN have it all! That’s right: Now you have time to look your best AND to cook your best… thanks to the new Meal Preparation and Botox Injection parties being kicked off by our new favorite surrealist franchise company, Make & Take Gourmet.
Auburnpub.com announced one such culinary and cosmetic gala held this week at the M&TG franchise in Auburn, NY:
Plastic surgeon Dr. Douglas Halliday will perform botox injections at a party Tuesday hosted by the Make & Take Gourmet in Auburn. Though a public botox party is unique to the area, Halliday and his staff have been performing them at salons, restaurants and private homes for about 20 years.
In case you’re out of synch with these trendy times, Meal Preparation Kitchens are businesses that offer busy soccer moms and t-ball dads a chance to pay hundreds of dollars to come in and “assemble” their own meals to freeze for later.
Botox is a protein is most commonly injected between and below the eyebrows, the forehead and the corners of the eyes with a hypodermic needle. Botox prevents the contraction of muscles in order to dull wrinkle lines and decrease the physical manifestations of aging. It wears out in 4-10 months, so increases repeat business from all who don’t want their faces to revert to a corpse-like state. According to Halliday, Botox was made for partying:
The procedure itself takes about 10 minutes and involves little pain. Halliday uses a 30-gage needle that lacks sting, and the location of most injections in low-sensitivity areas like the forehead means little discomfort. Even in a party atmosphere, all procedures are performed in a sanitary environment under entirely safe conditions - with gloves, rubbing alcohol and sterilized needles.
Each Make & Take Gourmet partier will go home with a noticiably more youthful appearance, a $100 coupon good toward future plastic surgery, and 12 gourmet entrees to freeze and serve later!
Botox parties may just be the shot in the arm (or face) the struggling meal prep segment needs!
WHAT DO YOU THINK? ARE BOTOX PARTIES THE SHOT IN THE ARM (OR FACE) THAT THE STRUGGLING MEAL PREP CONCEPT NEEDS?

LMAO-Can you say botulism?
Might there be a health code problem with needles and food in the same vicinity, not to mention the substance is a by-product of a fatal form of food poisoning?
EeeWWW!!
Oh Dear, am I being too negative- I guess the correct/accepted response here is:
“Well at least they’re doing SOMETHING, to get business in the door!”
At least MAK’ers may have AT LAST found their target market-those in need of quick fix for fast food and a fast face-lift!
Hmmm…I wonder when we’ll see that franchise idea pop-up!

This is brilliant marketing and a wonderful way to get return business. If customers don’t return in 4-10 months for another shot of bo-tox, they turn into the crypt-keeper’s daughter.
Shoot a little botox in that Butterball and your turkey will look just like the one in the magazine ads.
Watch http://www.FranBest.com for the announcement of a new franchise concept based on this wonderful idea.

This is one of those rare moments where I am left speechless…
Ok, moment over.
This has got to be the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.
Yes Virginia, that was the sound of the meal assembly industry hitting rock bottom…
Botulism and meal assembly, together at last! What will they think of next!

I have come to love Make & Take Gourmet. Every article that mentions them is a guaranteed trip to Surreality (not to be confused with Cereality).
Come to think of it… a Cereal Assembly Kitchen could just work!
I think the conversion phone is already starting to ting:
