Dinner just got way more exciting with meal kits from celebrity chef-led establishments and local restaurants people can’t get enough of.
Restaurants around the country have been hit hard by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The industry went from a booming success to being in desperate need of customers and funds, almost overnight. While many restaurants have closed permanently, others have gotten creative with how they reach diners around the country—and even around the world—with meal kit deliveries. Now fans of hundreds of restaurants can get their favorite dish, dessert, and sometimes even drinks delivered right to their front door to create themselves from the safety of their own kitchen, without having to guess what ingredients are needed or go to the grocery store. Most of these restaurants are using Goldbelly, a platform that is also helping to support essential workers through Goldbelly’s Givebelly City Subscriptions. There are six cities to choose from including New York City, New Orleans, and Miami. After choosing a city to subscribe to you’ll get monthly deliveries for three or six months with iconic dishes from some of that city’s most famous restaurants. 100% of all net proceeds go toward delivering Goldbelly meal kit boxes to vital essential workers.

Together, these castles help bring to life the ancient tales of this beautiful nation, which, for so many centuries, was occupied by foreign forces and divided by internal rifts.
