Georgia is practically next door — meals leave our Kingsport kitchen for Atlanta, Athens, or Savannah by FedEx Ground. For Atlanta's celiac community, that means Southern-cooked meals (yes, including an 18-hour smoked brisket when it rotates on) without a crumb of gluten risk. Meals arrive via FedEx Ground in about two ground days. Order by Thursday at midnight.
SmashMeals cooks every meal in a dedicated gluten-free kitchen and does not bring wheat, barley, or rye into the facility. That avoids shared gluten-containing prep equipment and airborne flour from on-site gluten baking, which reduces cross-contact risk compared with a shared kitchen. Ingredients, suppliers, and handling still require controls, so customers with celiac disease should review each meal's ingredient and allergen information and make decisions based on their own medical guidance.
How much does shipping to Georgia cost?
Shipping is a $30 flat rate via FedEx, no matter how many meals you order. Local Tri-Cities, Tennessee customers can choose pickup or local delivery instead.
How do the meals stay fresh in transit to Georgia?
Meals ship cold in insulated packaging with ice packs sized for 2-day FedEx ground transit. When they arrive, refrigerate them right away. Most meals keep several days refrigerated, and many can be frozen.
When do I need to order?
Orders close Thursday at midnight each week. Meals are cooked fresh after ordering closes, ship early the following week, and reach Georgia in about two FedEx ground days.
Is the food actually Southern-style?
A lot of it is — we're an East Tennessee kitchen with a pitmaster founder. The menu rotates weekly across smoked meats, bowls, family meals, and macro-friendly plates.
