Website Spotlight: EAT USA

What IS the perfect gift? Is gift giving a hassle? Are you unsure, confused or just too busy to find the absolute perfect gift?

Fret no more, EAT USA is your gift-giving best friend.

We are approaching prime gift giving season and soon to be comforted by friends and family at Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years.  There are everyday celebratory holidays too like birthdays, new homes, anniversaries and retirements that keep us thinking – what IS the perfect gift?

In one stop, delivered right to your doorstep – we bring you EAT USA (www.eatusa.net), a new online destination featuring products caught, made, grown and produced exclusively in the USA. Mostly artisanal and crafted by your neighbor, aunt or dad, EAT USA brings you an assortment of specialty products that make the absolute perfect gift - Maple Syrup from Vermont, Salted Caramel from Minnesota, Black Pepper Bacon from South Carolina, Extra Virgin Olive Oil from California and much more.

EAT USA features over 400 products that can be searched by category - “business”, “him”, “her”, “kids”, or “sympathy/get well” or by occasion. Although there is an emphasis on food, there are toys and cocktail kits fit with the tools to make your own Gin. EAT USA also offers a digital reminder service that notifies users of important gift-giving dates so you never forget a gift again!

EAT USA was originally set to open a kiosk in September 2001 inside the World Trade Center. Sadly that never happened and founder Arthur Gregory was forced to halt operations and change the business model after years of funding and planning.  EAT USA is truly a labor of love, not just for Arthur but for those in this country who are dedicated to supporting American trade.
