Stress-free Summer BBQ Guide

Forget everything you know about backyard BBQs. Our make-ahead menu lets you enjoy your own gathering, anchored by succulent pulled pork that’s cooked long before your guests arrive. No flipping burgers, timing steaks or missing out on conversations.

The star of the show is our Prep-ahead Pulled Pork, slow-cooked to perfection and ready to be dressed up with an array of international-inspired toppings. Set up a slider bar with everything from tangy barbecue sauce to spicy kimchi, letting guests play pitmaster with their own mini sandwiches. Our Honey-dijon Broccoli Salad and Grilled Vegetable Platter add freshness that’s perfect for summer. And those Red, White and Blueberry Cheesecake Bars? They’re not just patriotic — they’re make-ahead magic that can go straight from fridge to party.

Best of all, you can set everything out buffet-style, and let guests mingle and graze at their own pace. Because the best kind of summer party is one where the host gets to enjoy it too.
