What started in 2017 as a small kitchen in Kingsport, TN serving local families has grown into something we still pinch ourselves about. This week alone, Smash Meals shipped 100% gluten-free, chef-prepared meals to homes, offices, and even a college campus in 9 different states.
Here's a look at where our $30 flat-rate FedEx Ground insulated boxes landed this week — and what it says about the way America is eating now.

From a Kingsport Kitchen to a College Dorm
One of our favorite shipments this week went to a student at James Madison University. College dining halls aren't exactly known for celiac-focused, high-protein, real-food options — and we're proud that families can ship a week of Smash Meals straight to their student's door.
Whether it's a parent in Charlotte sending meals to a kid at JMU, an athlete in Birmingham refueling after training, or a busy professional in DC who just wants real food on the table — every box leaves our Kingsport kitchen with the same standard.
