Pizza to the Polls

Democrat, Republican, Independent — whatever your political alignment, we can all agree that long lines at the polls are no good. Pizza to the Polls is a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to making those lines a little better with something else we can all agree on: pizza. When long lines are reported to the group via Twitter or Instagram, they spring into action, ordering pies from local pizzerias to be delivered to the hungry, democracy-loving masses. The group is funded by donations and uses all funds to feed voters, so once you've fulfilled your civic duty today, consider dropping a little coin to make sure your fellow citizens stick it out and do the same.

Applestone Meat Co. Vending Machines

Joshua Applestone was an important part of the growth of whole-animal butchery. Now he's out to reshape another part of the business: purchasing. His Applestone Meat Co. Vending Machines let you grab quality cuts anytime, not just when the butcher is available. Currently, four of the machines sit at the company's Stone Ridge, NY shop, and are constantly restocked with beef, pork, lamb, and ground meats. The company will soon be expanding to Hudson, Scarsdale, and, eventually, Manhattan, with new, custom machines to make the purchasing process even easier.

Don Wagyu A5 Ozaki Steak Sandwich

The Japanese Sando — a sandwich where the beef is breaded and flash-fried to give it a crispy exterior and soft interior — is quickly gaining popularity in the States. When it opens tomorrow, Wall Street-based Don Wagyu will be serving the most expensive version in America. The nearly $200 sandwich starts with a five-ounce cut of wagyu, sourced from a single farm and aged 36 months. It's then breaded with panko, fried, and placed on crustless squares of white bread. Joined on the menu by two more affordable options, it's served with nori-dusted fries and housemade pickles and is best washed down with one of Don's available whiskeys, sakes, or beers.

Katz's Delicatessen Monthly Subscription

For its 130th anniversary, Katz Delicatessen has announced a subscription service to get your hands on their menu without being anywhere near the deli itself. The service is split up into monthly packages that change with the seasons and include a full meal for 4-6 people. The service allows you to customize your box with the ability to choose from classics like brisket, Matzoh Ball Soup, sausages, or their world famous slow-smoked 30-day Pastrami. Buyers also get a VIP card that lets them cut the line if they're at the deli in person.

Maille Dijon Black Truffle Mustard

Made using mustard seeds that are cut instead of crushed for a finer texture and filled by hand directly from the pump, Maille's mustards are among the best in the world. This particular version is infused with black truffles and Chablis white wine from Burgundy, giving it a rich, earthy flavor that pairs well with a variety of foods including chicken, salmon, and risotto. It arrives in a Burgundy-made stoneware jar with cork lid.

Olive Wagyu Beef

Beautifully marbled, true Japanese Wagyu beef is hard enough to find as it is. Olive Wagyu Beef is even rarer. Raised on a small number of farms in and around Shodoshima Island in Kagawa, these cows are fed a diet of caramelized olive pulp leftover from olive oil production, resulting in high levels of oleic acid and an unbelievable softness that melts in your mouth. Crowd Cow is now bringing highly limited amounts of this prized meat stateside. For your chance at the next shipment, sign up and make a purchase before it goes on sale this summer.

Porter Road Meats

Two trained chefs and butchers started Porter Road — an online butcher shop that offers premium cuts of beef, pork, lamb, and chicken. They oversee every step of the process (from working directly with farmers to dry aging all of their beef in-house), and all of their offerings are 100% pasture-raised with no added hormones or antibiotics. A good cross-section of their meats is available through the starter pack which includes 2 dry-aged steaks, 2 pork chops, 2 pounds of dry aged ground beef, 1 pound of cherry-wood smoked bacon, 1 pound of handcrafted chorizo sausage, and 1 pound of country breakfast sausage. It's like having a trusted local butcher at your service online, with each order over $100 shipped free in the lower 48 states.

Hama Hama Oysters

You don't have to be in a coastal city to enjoy fresh oysters, and now, you don't even have to leave your home. These highly seasonal Hama Hama Oysters grow the old-fashioned way on the gravel where the Hama Hama River flows out of the Olympic Mountains into the Hood Canal. Sweeter during spring months and brinier in the fall and winter, they're available in 3 or 5 dozen bags.

Bourbon Barrel Aged Worcestershire Sauce

One of the more versatile seasonings in your fridge is the latest item to enter a Kentucky Bourbon Barrel. Worcestershire Sauce: the tangy, savory addition to many steaks and Bloody Mary's through the years, is now available from Bourbon Barrel Brands. The all-natural, anchovy-free, vegetarian blend includes sorghum, apple cider vinegar, tamarind, and their microbrewed soy sauce. It's then aged in the aforementioned barrels, taking on some added flavor before bottling.

Pappy & Co. Barrel-Aged Pepper Sauce

Enjoy the smoky essence of Pappy Van Winkle without taking on a second mortgage with Pappy & Co. Barrel-Aged Pepper Sauce. Produced in collaboration with Georgia-based Midland Ghost, this spicy concoction is made using locally grown, first-generation ghost peppers and then aged in Pappy Van Winkle bourbon barrels to impart a unique, oaky flavor. While you might get some odd looks for sipping a glass of Pappy in the morning, you can throw this on your eggs without anyone batting an eye.

Maurten Drink Mix 320

Research shows that athletes can utilize as much as 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour. Maurten Drink Mix 320 gives you 80 grams in just 500 ml of water. Each sachet mixes with water to become a liquid sports drink containing a high concentration of maltodextrin and fructose. Through a unique process, it instantly becomes a hydrogel in the acid of your stomach, making it easier for you to absorb all the water, salt and carbohydrates found within. Each box includes 14 servings and is currently available exclusively in the EU.

Honey can be so much more than what comes out of the plastic bears you see at the store. This Bee Raw Wildflower Honey Flight gives you the chance to sample four different varietals, each with a unique character and flavor. The set includes vials containing raw honey tinged with on of these four flowers: Maine Raspberry, Colorado Star Thistle, Colorado Sweet Yellow Clover, California Wild Black Sage, or New York Basswood. They arrive in a gift-ready box, along with a handcrafted oak block for storage.

Tree Hive Maple Syrup

It can be difficult to find anything that isn't loaded with high-fructose corn syrup these days. So it's nice to see an option like Tree Hive Maple Syrup. It's not only high-fructose and table syrup free but is a natural blend of pure maple syrup and unfiltered American-bee honey infused with cinnamon and Madagascan bourbon vanilla. Use it on your waffles or pancakes or add it as a natural sweetener in the kitchen for baking or cooking.

Cosmik Freeze-Dried Ice Cream

Freeze-dried ice cream is nothing new — ask anyone who visited the National Air & Space Museum as a kid. Good freeze-dried ice cream, on the other hand, has been hard to find. Cosmik Freeze-Dried Ice Cream offers the same unmeltable, imminently packable benefits as the traditional stuff, but with far better results. It starts life in Brooklyn as 100% organic, ultra-premium ice cream then gets an added dash of sea salt added before spending a day in the freeze dryer. The result is a treat that never needs refrigerated, can be enjoyed anywhere, and comes in four delicious flavors.

Trees Knees Coffee Maple Syrup

Coffee and maple syrup are a classic flavor combination, and Trees Knees Coffee Maple Syrup mixes them together in a whole new way. It's crafted by hand in Brooklyn using maple syrup from the Catskill Mountains, infused with Stumptown Coffee Roasters Hair Bender Blend coffee. The resulting mixture offers flavors of chocolate, toffee, and cherry, and can add a kick to anything from pancakes to cocktails.

BurgaBox

The next time you decide to whip up some burgers for dinner, instead of flipping a few meat pucks on your grill and covering them with a bun from the grocery, treat yourself to something big. BurgaBox are more like the gourmet burgers you see featured on television from a restaurant nowhere near your house. BurgaBox ships the burgers — actually an entire meal kit — directly to your front door. One of their feasts includes enough meat for a couple of big burgers along with two pounds of mac and cheese and sides like fries, baked beans, and coleslaw. BurgaBox kits ship for free nationwide, with ingredients that are made from scratch and sent in insulated coolers with simple instructions.

Bill-E's Small Batch Bacon

As is the case with many things, bacon produced in small quantities offers a level of quality you won't find with mass-produced brands. Bill-E's Small Batch Bacon is made from carefully-sourced pigs, using only the best ingredients and techniques. The pork comes from pigs raised on Midwestern farms and is hand-cured for eight days in pink salt and brown sugar made from real molasses. Bill E turns the bellies every other day to further improve the flavor, before cold-smoking them in hickory for a sweet, savory, and tender result. Available by the pound, sliced or unsliced.

Blk Water

There's spring water, mineral water, tap water, and now there's Blk Water. Although it looks like something you'd drain out of your car's oil pan, this shadowy H20 is actually a mix of fulvic acid and pure Canadian spring water. The plant-based compound is mined from an 80 million-year-old source and allows for the rapid absorption of over 77 different minerals, electrolytes, and antioxidants, while also naturally giving the water its charcoal-hue. Free of sugar, caffeine, calories, and carbs and comes in a pack of 24, 8-ounce bottles.

Jose Gourmet Sardines

Jose Gourmet Sardines are a great way to enjoy this overlooked snack. They arrive in handsome packaging with custom artwork on the cover, and come in several different flavors, including smoked, soaked in olive oil with lemon, and our favorite, spicy with piri-piri pepper.
