My Thoughts
For those seeking a delicious, limited-lifespan option for their overnight treks and camping adventures, Good To-Go is a top choice. Each meal showcases the talents of the company’s renowned chefs, offering a diverse array of options such as spicy Korean bibimbap and hearty Mexican quinoa bowls to cater to various palates, dietary needs, and cultural backgrounds. As someone who now understands the value of proper nutrition and recovery, I often turn to Good To-Go’s meals for my lightweight, nutrient-rich food needs on overnight trips where taste is just as important as sustenance.

Jennifer Scism stands at the helm of Good To-Go, a force to be reckoned with in the culinary world. Her 20 years of experience as a professional chef and prestigious education from the French Culinary Institute make her a powerhouse in the kitchen. In 2005, she claimed victory on the grand stage of TV Food Network’s Iron Chef competition, solidifying her place among the top chefs in the industry. As I sampled each dish from their diverse menu – the complex flavors of bibimbap, rich mushroom risotto, flavorful quinoa bowl, comforting oatmeal, and crunchy granola – I couldn’t help but marvel at the dedication and hard work that Scism and her team pour into every dehydrated meal.
Good To-Go’s meals are meticulously handcrafted in small batches in the rugged town of Kittery, Maine. Unlike other mainstream brands (Backpacker’s Pantry, Alpine Aire, Mountain House), they choose to dehydrate their meals instead of freeze-drying them. This decision not only reduces their carbon footprint by using less energy, but also ensures a more nutrient-rich meal. However, some may argue that dehydrating food strips away its nutritional value. But fear not, for Good To-Go takes extra precautions by heating all their meals to a scalding 165 °F for precise seconds, guaranteeing both shelf stability and maximum nutrition.
Craving something Mexican, Thai, or Italian? Look no further – Good To-Go has you covered with their convenient and gluten-free dehydrated backpacking meals. Whether you’re on a long hike in the wilderness or just want an easy meal at home, simply add boiling water for a tasty and satisfying dish.
