Media Credit: Jarod Opperman Austin Lopez, an employee of the Super Suppers on Coburg Road, rolls out dough for personal you-bake pizzas. Patrons who do not know what to make can refer to the numerous recipes provided by Super Suppers.

A welcoming ambiance and a nicely decorated interior, with the smell of fresh-baked apple pie and kielbasa-vegetable-stew, invites customers to come inside and try freshly prepared samples. The Super Suppers in Eugene will already celebrate its 2 1/2 year anniversary this summer.

Krista and Mike Bothman own the location and had the idea to build a branch of the nationwide franchise on Coburg Road.

"We were interested in that concept because there was nothing like this before in Eugene," Krista Bothman said.

Super Suppers advertises its healthy meals without any preservatives, a favorite meals menu and a menu that changes monthly. The franchise company's chefs in Texas develop and supply all of the recipes. Customers have the option of buying pre-made frozen meals, ordering meals and either picking them up or having them delivered to their home. Customers can also attend cooking sessions.

"Our customers are mostly working families and students who do not have much time to cook and like to try something new," Krista Bothman said.

People can either purchase a frozen meal and look up the ingredients on the package or cook it by themselves during a session where they have the recipe and ingredients provided for them by Super Suppers. The neat, furnished, warm and very clean ambience of Super Suppers is inviting for customers during cooking sessions. Each of the seven preparation counters offers plenty of space during the sessions every Friday and Saturday, by appointment.

Mike Bothman has a culinary arts degree and has worked in the food industry as a chef for many years. Before he became involved with Super Suppers he managed the Dairy Queen right next to the building they currently reside in. His wife Krista has a degree in music from the University of Oregon and always had a passion for cooking with an emphasis on healthy nutritious meals.
