Fancy Up Your BBQ

05/24/2013

Memorial Day started as Decoration Day in 1862.

“On the first Decoration Day, General James Garfield made a speech at Arlington National Cemetery, and 5,000 participants decorated the graves of the 20,000 Union and Confederate soldiers buried there.”

Thank a vet, and have a fun and safe weekend.

Holiday Weekend Meal Ideas

Meat & Seafood: The Truth is in the Taste

Copper River Sockeye Salmon. The annual craze is NOW! Here’s how it all began. This fish is only available for a few weeks, and is unique for its rich, dark, flavorful flesh. $33.99/lb.

Our relationship with a Hawaiian fishing company means really fresh fish for you.

Sashimi-grade Hebi. Now in season. In the billfish family, sporting a fairly mild taste that is great for the grill. Marinate in lemon, olive oil, and a little honey then grill.
Sashimi-grade tuna. Super fresh! Keep it simple with this Wolfgang Puck recipe for tuna with ginger, soy, and lime vinaigrette.

Route 40 Roadkills! Roadkill Roosters arrive TODAY! Spatchcocked chickens (they sit flat on the grill) from Boulder Natural, marinated in our famous flavors. Perfect for the grill this weekend. Plain, Korean BBQ, Southwest, Balsamic, and Rosemary & Garlic. $6.99/lb.

Butcher’s choice burgers. New for summer. Burger patties with seasoning, cheese, or other tasty ingredients. This week is steak burgers, and blue cheese burgers. $6.99/lb.

Niman Ranch baby back and St Louis ribs. Beautiful weekend wants ribs! Recipes for ribs:

Don’t let May get away without trying our monthly steak specials!

Grass-fed New York Strip Steaks from Teton Waters. This is one of our favorites, and a customer fave too. $18.99/lb.
Bison Culotte Steak. A top sirloin cap steak, and the classic cut for steak frites. $14.99/lb.

Produce: Fresh is Best

Local asparagus. Spring has not really sprung until fresh asparagus starts poking up through the earth. We have the first of the season. Grown by Kiowa Valley Organic Farm on the eastern plains. $6.99/lb.
Figs. What these need is a little prosciutto… Huge and beautiful! Brown turkey figs have their first harvest now. Pick them up today. $9.99/pint.

Bakery: Get Real

Start the day and end the day with baked goods from Marczyk’s.

Breakfast: Our Marczyk Bakery challah makes perfect French toast. Add our Market-made breakfast sausage with spices and you’ll be good for bike riding or tree planting.
Dessert: Pick up chocolate, lemon yoghurt or strawberry cupcakes to feed a crowd. Plenty of pies too, take a look.
