In the world of food subscription boxes, Goldbelly reigns supreme. In fact, it’s the only online marketplace where folks can source America’s most famous dishes, which are then delivered directly to their door. Whether you’re seeking out signature cakes from nationally-renowned bakeries or looking to snag a cookie of the month club for a friend, you’ll find it on Goldbelly. But Goldbelly’s foodie finds aren’t just great for trying out new dishes. They also offer a sense of nostalgia for folks who miss the muffuletta they had in New Orleans, or crave the local cobbler they grew up with.
To celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, the brand just released its very own Goldbelly “Taste of America” boxes, featuring the tasty traditions that make each state special. These scrumptious state-in-a-box assortments, launched in partnership with America250, honor the semiquincentennial—yes, that’s the real term—anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Here’s everything we’re excited to try from the brand’s patriotic collection.
Taste of America Boxes
What are Goldbelly’s “Taste of America” Boxes?
Packed with snacks and regional dishes, Goldbelly’s “Taste of America” boxes are truly the yummiest way to celebrate America’s milestone birthday. There are two types of boxes currently available, and both are equally indulgent. Local Legends boxes include food items and meal makers, which may require some slight prep, while the smaller and more budget-friendly Snack boxes come stuffed with ready-to-eat treats. The available gift boxes already span several states—and the brand plans to eventually cover all 50.
Available boxes hail from Michigan, New York, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, New England, Florida, Texas and Illinois. We’re already excited to try out Iowa’s state box , which is the next to release! While these boxes are a great way to indulge in regional favorites, they also make a fantastic college care package or Father’s Day gift for homesick dads.
Our Top Picks
Taste of Wisconsin Local Legends Box
It’s only natural that we rave about the Taste of Wisconsin Local Legends Box first and foremost, given it’s the location of our Test Kitchen. Included are all the Cheesehead staples, including a package of State Street Brats with accompanying Bucky Badger Mustard, authentic cheese curds, Stella’s Hot & Spicy Cheese Bread and a block each of Roth Grand Cru cheese and aged Gouda. Finish off the meal with O&H Danish Bakery Wisconsin Kringle and one box each of Baraboo Candy Company Cow Pies and Green Bay Puddles.
Taste of Michigan Local Legends Box
As a Michigander, it genuinely makes me sad knowing most Americans will never enjoy a Detroit-Style pizza. That’s why I’m singing the praises of the Michigan Local Legends box, featuring a Buddy’s Pepperoni Pizza as its star inclusion. Recipients also enjoy an American Coney Island hot dog kit containing dogs, buns and authentic chili sauce. Included are also two Michigan-style sweet treats: a Grand Traverse Pie Company cherry crumb pie and a slab of Murdick’s Mackinac Island fudge—and you don’t even have to ferry to the island to enjoy. I warn you, though—it’s addicting!
Taste of New York City Snack Box
Bring home the Big Apple without hopping into the car. The Taste of New York City Snack Box contains a bevy of tasty treats and accouterments, both sweet and savory. Sip on Serendipity3 Frrrozen Hot Chocolate out of your new Happy To Serve You Mug while chomping on a Coffee & Bagel Chips Chocolate Bar from Jacques Torres. The Zucker’s Bagel Chips and Everything Bagel Seasoning offer a sampling of typical New York fare, especially coupled with Sabretts Mustard and two Green’s Bakery Black & White Cookies.
Taste of Philly Local Legends Box
The Taste of Philly Local Legends Box is bursting with some of the most famous Philly classics. Start off with some Iannelli’s Bakery Tomato Pie Slices and Center City Pretzel Co. Soft Pretzels (plus salt and mustard for extra pizazz). Then, sample the included Famous 4th Street Cookie Company Assorted Cookies for a sweet segue. The centerpiece is, of course, a pack of Pat’s King of Steaks Cheesesteaks and some Cheese Whiz to top them off.
Taste of New Orleans Snack Box
Crescent City is one of the most popular foodie destinations, and the Taste of New Orleans Snack Box does it complete justice. Start off the day with Café Du Monde Beignet Mix and ground coffee in an authentic Café Du Monde coffee mug. Later, indulge in Aunt Sally’s Pralines, Zapp’s Voodoo Chips and Elmer’s Chee-wees for a satisfying midday snack. In the evening, it’s time for dinner, courtesy of Chef Paul Prudhomme’s Seafood Magic Seasoning and Crystal Hot Sauce. Once the sun dips down in the sky, don your Mardi Gras beads and mask and sip on Pat O’Brien’s Hurricane Mix to close out your New-Orleans feast.
Where to Buy
