"As far as muffulettas go, Maceo’s Spice & Import Company, an Italian deli just off the Strand in downtown Galveston, might make the best one on the Gulf Coast (but don’t tell New Orleans we said that). The soft, olive oil dressed bread—baked in nearby League City using Maceo’s recipe—dressed in a schmear of sweet and briny olives, with a near Goldilocks ratio of sliced deli meats and cheese, is a thing of beauty. Grab a sandwich for lunch or brunch, along with an armful of groceries and dried pasta." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene

"Opened in 1944, Maceo Spice is a Galveston institution. True to its name, the shop has walls of fragrant spices and specialty blends, a deli counter with sliced meat and cheese, and pantry staples like olive oil, vinegar, pasta, and sauce. Guests will also find a solid menu of sandwiches during lunch. Be prepared, the muffuletta is big enough for two." - Lane Gillespie, Brittany Britto Garley

"Head to Galveston, home to the country’s third largest Mardis Gras celebration, and score various seasonal treats from Rao’s Bakery, including mini King Cake strawberry and cinnamon cakes ($12); the fudgey coconut or orea cream cheese Voodoo cakes ($35), and the large sizes, topped with traditional cinnamon or cream cheese and cinnamon or fruit, like blueberry, raspberry, or strawberry ($33)." - Brittany Britto Garley, Megha McSwain
