Thrill of the Grill Event

Every Saturday from May 31 to June 28, all who want to enjoy summer samples and master the art of a great backyard barbecue can find everything they need at Sunset Foods’ Thrill of the Grill Events.

The weekly events, held from 11 AM to 3 PM, Saturdays, at every Sunset Foods’ location, are free, open to the public, and will provide barbecue lovers the chance to sample the latest in all-natural meats; including Brats, bacon sausage, chicken, beef, and ribs. And not only will attendees be able to sample excellent grilled fare, but they can also find the perfect marinades, condiments, and sides. Also, expert consultants will be on hand to discuss the latest in grilling techniques, suggest pairings of IPA and imported beers, wines, cheeses, sauces, and more. It’s like having your own personal advisors providing all the info you need to make summer gatherings sizzle.

For those who have considered a more healthy diet, they can learn about the latest all natural, nitrate and nitrite-free innovations in sausage, with samples from Big Fork and Gilbert’s Craft Sausages, see how to create the perfect steak with Certified Angus Beef, or pick up some smoked-on-site Farmland All Natural Smoked Ribs. Poultry will be well represented by Miller Amish Country Chicken, as well as Bliniski’s casing-free chicken sausage. Customers will also find a wide selection of IPA and craft beers from Lagunitas and Warsteiner breweries. Traditional accompaniments like Durkee’s Famous Sauce will be side-by-side with Bubbie’s all-natural pickles, as will a huge selection of buns, rolls, desserts, and side dishes.
