Although the name of the food production company that’s taking space at State and Court has yet to be revealed, the identity of a new business a few storefronts down on Court Street is a little less mysterious. Busy Chef, which offers prepared food to go and has a location on Henry Street, is opening in the old Café 111 space across the street from the movie theater. Good news for the Downtown lunch crowd?

it would seem as if plenty of people do like their food, whether your comments are true or not.
i knew someone who worked at one of the string of Henry St. businesses owned by the Busy Chef owner– this person went to the downstairs of the Busy Chef on Henry St once and saw giant Stouffer lasagnas, still in boxes in the freezer, waiting to be cut up and served for $7 or $8 a slice.
Even if some of the Busy Chef entrees are cooked on site, they still are the NASTIEST, most OVERPRICED crap in Brooklyn Heights. I’d rather go to the sketchiest deli counter in Brooklyn than resort to this place. Ick.
oh–got it. Thanks. Sick.
It has been alleged that they pretend to make their own food when supposedly all they do is heat up the same frozen-dinner-type stuff you could have bought from the supermarket and heated yourself
^^what does that even mean????
For those not aware, Busy Chef is well known for offering the finest repackaged frozen foods from the local supermarket (or a wholesaler like Sysco) at upscale prices.
Bring back the Blarney Stone!
That Boar’s Head story was on Chowhound and a few other boards, 3:15PM. I’m divided on whether it would be good/bad – would the meat be a better quality that what one can get at the deli counter? Anyway I’m dying to know what is up with that space. Stoner, don’t you have any info?
If you’ve been to the movies across the street, you’d see that they are pretty high-end.
