How are you today? I feel like we have so much to talk about—but in the spirit of today's theme, I'll keep it (relatively) short and sweet: brevity is the soul of wit, after all.
First, a big, heartfelt welcome to everyone new in town! It's been such a joy meeting so many of you lately. Your energy is contagious—in the best way—and it never fails to brighten my day.
If we haven't crossed paths yet, let me introduce myself. I'm Eric, a chef, along with my wife and our three kids—yes, all chefs too (dinner at our house is serious business). Together, we run a small, community-driven business called 2 Guys & A Cooler. If you haven't heard of us yet, I invite you to ask around—we've been faithfully serving the Chiriqui Highland community prepared meals for nearly 15 years, and have loved every minute of it.
From the very beginning, our goal was simple: create wholesome, generous meals using clean, honest ingredients—at a price everyone can afford. And I'm proud to say that 15 years later, that same goal still drives every single dish we make.
Let's be honest—eating out isn't cheap, and cooking at home can get complicated (especially when you're tracking down all those hard-to-find ingredients). That's exactly why we started this service 15 years ago: to offer a practical, delicious, and cost-effective alternative.
Chef-prepared meals, enjoyed in the comfort of your own home—for less than half the cost of eating out, and often even less than cooking it yourself. We're talking Texas-style chicken fried steak, beef stroganoff, Italian lasagna, southern pot roast, Thai Penang curry, Chinese chicken dumpling soup, Mexican tortilla soup, chicken pot pies… and that's just the beginning. Our food options are vast, so whether you prefer vegan, vegetarian, beef, pork, chicken, shrimp, or fish—no worries. We proudly offer some of the highest-quality prepared meals in town at prices that won't wreck your budget. In fact, you can "dine in" with a dinner for 2 tonight for just $4–$5 per person. WHAT!!!!!!
Here are just a few options that are available this week (many more on our website).

This week, I've got cheesecakes on the brain (my all-time favorite dessert). I haven't decided on flavors just yet, so if you want the inside scoop, be sure to sign up for the newsletter to stay in the loop. Will it be chocolate mocha? Caramel chocolate pecan turtle? A beautifully rustic Basque cheesecake? Or maybe a classic New York style?
Honestly… there are too many good options. Stay tuned.
So, if you love great food or appreciate staying on budget, let us do the cooking for you. Our service is perfect if you need a break from the kitchen, you're heading out of town and don't want your significant other to starve, or you simply want to enjoy delicious, chef-prepared meals made by experienced professionals (without all the drama).😉
As a side note, when you visit our site, every photo you see is the real deal. No tricks, no styling magic—just our food. I simply take a meal out of the freezer, heat it according to the package directions, plate it up, and snap a picture. To us, "honest" food deserves honest representation. That means no AI-generated images, no stock photos, and nothing "borrowed" from food blogs. What you see is exactly what you get. It's the least we can do. 😉
