Ultimate 6er | Independence Day BBQ

We are in the throws of summer; camping trips, long summer nights, fireflies and festivals all around.

Grocery stores promote the corner stone foods a couple weeks before and are accompanied by splashy red, white and blue stars/fireworks/stripes. Food is a way to bring family and friends together, it almost is as old as time. Throw in some great drinks and music, and you have a shindig!
