Tellico Plains sits at the western gate of the Cherohala Skyway — fifty-plus miles of mile-high road that draws riders and drivers from everywhere — with the Tellico River's trout water and Bald River Falls just up the valley. It's a small Monroe County mountain town where the nearest safe celiac option has always been a long, winding drive away. SmashMeals ships the certainty: chef-prepared, macro-labeled meals from our 100% dedicated gluten-free facility in Kingsport, TN — no wheat, barley, or rye since 2017 — cold-packed and shipped FedEx Ground to your porch. Order by Thursday 11:59 PM, delivered on a schedule that varies by destination and carrier conditions; 5–7 days refrigerated, 6 months frozen. FedEx Ground shipping is a flat $30 to eligible addresses, with no subscription required.
The Skyway rewards people who respect the long way. So does an eighteen-hour brisket.

The Cherohala Skyway climbs out of Tellico Plains and doesn't come down for fifty miles — a National Scenic Byway through the Cherokee National Forest that riders plan whole trips around, with Bald River Falls thundering just off the spur road. Mountain towns this remote pay a quiet tax on celiac disease: roughly 1 in 100 households carry it per the Celiac Disease Foundation, and the safe option was always a mountain range away. Now it's FedEx Ground shipping.
"The Skyway's my kind of sermon — take the long, high way and do it right," says owner Lew Kizer. "Our brisket takes the long way too: eighteen hours of smoke before it ever sees a box."
