Wartburg is a small Morgan County seat with an outsized legend — Frozen Head State Park hosts the Barkley Marathons, the race that draws elite ultrarunners from around the world and finishes almost none of them, while the Obed's wild and scenic gorges bring climbers to the county's sandstone year-round. Between legends, it's plateau country: long drives, working schedules, and zero dedicated gluten-free options anywhere near. 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 Tuesday; 5–7 days refrigerated, 6 months frozen. Flat $30 shipping, no subscription, meals from around $8.99.
The Barkley proves most quests end in the briars. Getting a safe supper in Morgan County shouldn't be one of them.

Every spring, the world's toughest ultrarunners slip into Frozen Head's hollows above Wartburg for the Barkley Marathons — a race so hard that finishing it is international news — while climbers rope up year-round on the sandstone of the Obed Wild and Scenic River. Morgan County understands hard things done honestly, which is exactly the celiac standard: roughly 1 in 100 households carry the condition per the Celiac Disease Foundation, and the only honest answer is a dedicated facility. Ours has been one since 2017.
"The Barkley teaches what I preach: the mountain doesn't grade on effort, only on truth," says owner Lew Kizer. "Our truth is simple — no wheat in the building, ever, and eighteen hours on every brisket. No shortcuts survive out here anyway."
