The 85% lean blend hits that sweet spot between juicy and structured burgers. Salt just before grilling, form patties slightly wider than the bun, and cook to 160 degrees. Try stuffed peppers or skewered mini meatballs for a quick variation.
2. Chicken Drumsticks
Great value and big flavor. Dry them well, season, then cook over indirect heat until 175 degrees for tender meat and crisp skin. Finish over direct heat with your favorite sauce.
3. Parkview Brats
Classic grillers with dependable snap. Simmer in beer and onions, then sear to brown. Serve on brioche buns with sauerkraut or slice into grilled veggie mixes and pizzas.
4. Fresh Atlantic Salmon
Brush with oil, season simply, and grill skin-side down until the flesh flakes, about 125 to 130 degrees for medium. Try cedar planks and finish with lemon and herbs.
5. Park Street Deli Coleslaw
Ready to serve and crowd-friendly. Pile onto pulled chicken or brats for crunch, or stir in a little apple cider vinegar to brighten.
6. Specially Selected Brioche Buns
Soft, buttery buns that hold up to juices and toppings. Lightly toast on the grill for texture and a hint of sweetness.
7. Simply Nature Organic Ketchup
Clean ingredient list with a tangy, balanced flavor. Stir with a splash of vinegar and smoked paprika for a quick burger sauce.
8. Burman's Yellow Mustard
A classic for brats and dogs. Whisk into dressings, slaws, and marinades to add zip without extra salt.
9. Stonemill Grill Seasonings
Montreal-style blends and more for steaks, chops, and veggies. Season just before grilling to avoid pulling out moisture.

Sturdy, crunchy sides that stand up to dips. Salt and Vinegar pairs well with rich meats, while plain complements smoky flavors.
11. Park Street Deli Baked Beans
Heat and serve, or dress them up. Stir in chopped bacon, mustard, and a splash of apple cider vinegar to balance sweetness.
12. Tuscan Garden Salad Dressings
Good for greens and great as marinades. Italian works for chicken and veggies, Ranch doubles as a dip for chips and crudités.
13. Winking Owl Wine
Budget-friendly bottles for casual pairings. Chill whites for grilled fish and chicken, or pour a medium-bodied red alongside steaks and brats.
14. Belmont Ice Cream
A cool finish for hot nights. Serve with grilled peaches or make brownie sundaes for an easy crowd-pleaser.
