New Orleans Food Gifts That Ship Nationwide (2026)

These seven come from New Orleans restaurants and bakeries: a muffuletta from a French Quarter grocery open since 1906, turtle soup, gumbo, jambalaya and fried chicken from four longtime restaurants, and two king cakes. Each ships nationwide through Goldbelly. We checked every price and confirmed each item was in stock on its Goldbelly page on Nov. 2, 2026.

None of the product pages list a holiday delivery cutoff. Central Grocery's page says each sandwich is made fresh to order and orders must be placed by noon CST prior to the ship date, so check the delivery date at checkout.
