ANY TIME IS BBQ TIME!

This is the perfect time to celebrate the start of summer with backyard barbecues. A great way of cooking meat, this age-old culinary technique is a fun and delicious way to cook. Whether you are a novice, a professional chef or somewhere in between, it\’s time to enjoy cooking again. Especially if that hot kitchen is not your favorite place to be.

People have been cooking meat over a flame for centuries, but exactly where the idea of cooking meat over a grill came from isn’t clear. Supposedly, when Columbus discovered the Americas, he found that many of the natives were roasting meat over a wooden grill. This would give the meat that sought after smoky flavor as it roasted.

Today we can celebrate barbecue month with only the finest ingredients from The Chop Shop.

People love gathering around a barbeque, so dust off the barbecue and gather everyone together for a feast. Be sure to try our gourmet seasonings, dry rubs, signature BBQ sauces and don\’t forget something for the vegetarians to sink their teeth into too! Veggie kabobs are so easy and a delicious accent to any barbeque. Vidalia onions are in season and always a crowd pleaser. Our produce department has it all! And of course, always use only the finest meats, rubs and BBQ sauces from our extensive selection at The Chop Shop!
