Fun Summer Things
Of course you can count on Marczyk’s for the best tasting beef and pork in Denver for your July BBQ’s. Never ever administered antibiotics or hormones, humanely handled. Steaks, pork chops, kabobs, burgers, all for the grill.
On Special this weekend: Niman Ranch ribeyes, $14.99/lb. Enjoy the superb beefiness of this great steak! The truth is in the taste™
Our Colorado real free range chickens are very meaty and juicy, brought to us fresh weekly from Northern Colorado Poultry. Take home our semi-deboned marinated birds, or ask the butchers to debone one for you and add your own flavors. (We love butter, tarragon and shallots under the skin.)
Fresh from Hawaii: hebi, swordfish, and blue marlin this weekend.

Fresh, rich Copper River sockeye salmon, from the cold waters of Alaska, is starting to close out for the season, get it while you can!
Fresh market-made mixed berry and apple pies, made from scratch with fresh berries and organic apples, for your 4th of July picnic, $15.99-$19.99.
For a pie of a different sort, pick up a vanilla, mint chip, espresso chip, or raspberry Whoopie Pie! Whoopies are back, 5280 sez so.
The sandwich of summer is the all-American BLT, and have we got a great one.  Award-winning Niman Ranch bacon, fresh lettuce, and ripe red tomatoes all on thick sliced toasted white bread, baked for us daily.  Priced at $4.99, no better sandwich in town for the price, period.

What’s Fresh Now:
We know how good farmer’s market produce tastes in the summer, so we are happy to have Elaine Granata gardening right across the street. She walked over with 2 giant bags of spicy mixed greens and other treats, and wow it is spicy!
Knee high by the forth of July? With all the rain, Munson fresh corn is almost ready. Kevin drives up in his old truck to get boxes and boxes of corn, and delivers it here. Now that’s fresh!
