Want restaurant-quality food delivered to your door? These businesses do that.

A year ago, as society began hunkering down, all kinds of food delivery ramped up.

With many people uneasy about shopping for groceries in person, retailers began going to them. Curbside pickup picked up, as well. But wholesalers that sell to restaurants were caught flat-footed when dining rooms were closed.

Business at first plummeted. But then many shifted their businesses by delivering directly to consumers. Their minimum orders may be higher than grocery services such as Peapod and Instacart, but the quality and prices are typically better since the middleman has been eliminated. If you’re a bulk-buyer with a chest freezer, all the better. And in some cases, you’re dealing with a small family business.

Here is a collection of restaurant suppliers that deal with the public and offer delivery in the Philadelphia region.

Although the wholesale business is coming back — says company vice president (and namesake) Ashley Loke, touching wood — the North Philadelphia company is standing by its retail division that sells packages of meats, including specialties such as wagyu beef and bison burgers, as well as seafood, listed on Facebook. Cuts also are available à la carte.

In 1952, Larry Inver’s father, Charles, started picking up eggs from a farm in Vineland, N.J., and bringing them back to a wholesale distributor in Philadelphia’s Northern Liberties section. Charles Inver took over Sunnyside Butter & Eggs seven years later, and in 1972, Larry started working for his father, taking over in the late 1980s when he retired. Now with son Chad, 27, they serve the public from the same corner warehouse that is now surrounded by half-million-dollar homes.

Their best sellers include Australian lamb, Mountaire Black Label chicken breast, 26- to 30-count shrimp, and fresh 5-pound salmon fillets, plus butter and eggs.
