It’s easy to put together a great spread for July 4. Whether you get a thrill from making everything from scratch or prefer to leave the work to us, we’ve got you covered. Approach #1: Let us do the work! You provide the grill, we provide ready-to-grill meat, seafood, veggies and more. Now, it won’t be too easy for you — you’ll have the hard job of choosing from our tantalizing variety of grill-ready kabobs—plain or marinated, with or without fresh veggies. Want to expand the choices? Toss an assortment of our grill-ready specialty burgers on the grill too. Next, stop by the seafood case for some marinated salmon, responsibly farmed and ready to grill, and then head over to produce for some grill-ready veggie kabobs. Don’t forget to pick up great side dishes, bakery-made buns and all kinds of condiments. Grab a watermelon for dessert and you’re ready for guests! Approach #2: Make some, buy some. You provide the grill, you do all the hard work. But again, we make it easy—just check out our favorite recipes for the 4th below to get a head start on your menu plan. And remember that we grind our meat fresh several times a day right in the store from the same quality meat you see in our case.
