Whether you’re looking for an individual portion, a full family meal, or pies or salsa, these ghost kitchens are cranking them out. We visited two of these ghost kitchens in the Quad Cities and were amazed at what is made and sold locally.

Prep To Table runs out of Moline Illinois. The ghost kitchen can be found within The Spotlight Theatre located on 7th Ave.

Goose, Hairball, and Megan visited Prep To Table and snagged a few pictures of the Prep team putting together their meal.

The meal they were prepping was called "Hamberger Prepper," containing spinach, noodles, beef, and a special sauce. Khloe described this meal as a 'gluten-free healthier hamburger helper."

You can order meals at their website preptotable.net.

In 2019, Prep To Table was preparing 35 meals a week. As of now, they are prepping 400-500 meals a week.

Angerer Eats

On the Iowa side, located in Bettendorf, is a Ghost Kitchen called Angerer Eats. This service run by the owner, Mary Beth Angerer, offers "freshly prepared, healthy, family-friendly meals at your convenience."

Much like the ghost kitchen described previously, Angerer Eats also preps healthy meals and makes them available for purchase.

Angerer Eats was once running out of another kitchen but has since moved into its own building! This big announcement was made only a few days ago.

Hairball was able to observe Angerer Eats prepping some of their meals, and took some photos. Burritos, KFC Bowl Casserole, Cajun Pasta, and Beef Lo Mein with Egg Rolls were on the menu.

These oven-ready, heat and serve, no prep containers can be purchased at Hy-Vee fast & fresh and North Scott foods.

Angerer Eats has been running for 4 years prepping 400 meals a week.

The freezer-friendly meals have a 3-month shelf life.

With only 7 employees, they are able to make all this food for consumers to enjoy!
