Memorial Day is a chance to honor those in the military who have sacrificed their lives for our country. It’s also a day to spend quality time with family and friends, while enjoying the unofficial start to summer. What better way to do that than to host a cookout – it’s practically a Memorial Day tradition, after all!
Let us make your gathering incredibly convenient with our "Cookout in a Box" that can be delivered directly to your door. We have all of the BBQ and grilling items you need to make your event incredibly easy so you can spend more time with your loved ones.
Piedmont Kitchen Co. offers three lines of products to select from – Piedmont BBQ, Piedmont Plant-based and Piedmont Mains – so whether you opt for a fancier cookout with our marinated meats or have a few vegans in the crowd, we have you covered. Since we like to keep our cookouts pretty casual, here are our ‘go to’ items and a few easy recipe ideas that everyone will love.
Our cookout lineup includes Pulled Pork Sandwiches, Buffalo Chicken Dip with our Buttermilk Brined Chicken, Tamari Chicken Wings on the grill and a Chili Dog – no, we don’t offer hot dogs but we do feature unforgettable Classic or Vegan Chili for a mean chili hot dog or vegan dog.
