Get barbecue, matzo ball soup, and much more delivered right to your door
Right now, being a restaurant obsessive in Houston is tough. The city’s dining rooms are closed and its residents have been ordered to stay at home unless leaving is absolutely necessary, which means that many of us are stuck indoors eating our mediocre home-cooked food and begging for the return of normalcy.
That feeling has to be even worse for Houstonians who are practicing social distancing far away from their home city. Fortunately, a number of the city’s best dining establishments ship their most beloved wares nationwide, and that’s good news for anyone who wants to eat well without leaving the house right now.
Whether you’re in search of a gift to send a faraway friend or just looking to show one of your local favorites a little love, use the list below as a guide to the city’s restaurants that are shipping everything from brisket to beautiful bonbons nationwide.
Goode Company BBQ
- What to order: Stock up on everything from smoky brisket to Goode Co.’s beloved pecan pie and pralines. For a serious barbecue feast, consider the Davy Crockett package of smoked meats, which includes a full brisket, four links of sausage, two slabs of pork ribs, and two loaves of jalapeno-cheese bread.
- How to order: Via Goode Company’s official website. Prices range from $6 for a loaf of jalapeno cheese bread and $30 for a box of pralines to $200 and up for massive barbecue packages that will make for multiple meals.
