Game Day Essentials
There are many ways to host an epic game day, but it all comes down to the type of event you are hosting.

AFTERNOON BBQ
The Main: A great burger starts with great meat. Whether it’s our freshly made cheddar bacon patties from the meat department, some mouth-watering ground wagyu, a plant-based meat, or a classic package of ground beef.
The Extras: Our favorite bun is the Euro Classic Brioche Hamburger bun. Brioche bread…need we say more? Give them a light toast and then load them up with all the fixings! Don’t forget the bag of chips. We recently started stocking Boulder Canyon Avocado Oil Wavy Chips. A perfect combo of salty and crunchy.
The Perfect Pair: Grab a local brew from The Tank, Biscayne Bay, La Tropical, Wynwood Brewing, Tripping Animals, Veza Sur, and the list goes on.
Celebrate every touchdown with a cold and crisp beverage, brewed right in our hometown.

LARGE GROUP TAILGATE
The Main: Unless you love staying busy in the kitchen, we 100% recommend getting some fuss-free party platters. Just order ahead here and pick up in store. Buffalo Chicken Wings and a Vegetable Platter are football’s best friends.
The Extras: If you need even more accompaniments to the platters, but we don’t think you will, grab your favorite chicken/tuna salad from the deli and a package of crackers. But be warned that it will go fast, especially if you get the Honey Pecan Chicken Salad!
The Perfect Pair: Large groups are always a little tricky because everyone has different tastes. Try getting a mix of sparkling water, soda, and spiked seltzers. There’s a new Casa Azul Tequila Soda at our Grove and Pinecrest stores that is a customer favorite.
MONDAY NIGHT GAMES
The Main: A night game calls for a tender—juicy Certified Angus Beef® branded steak. A New York Strip, T-Bone, or Ribeye steak are some of the easiest to cook on the stove or grill.
The Extras: Our assortment of homemade twice-baked potatoes from the deli allows you to keep all of your focus on the game, or should we say most of your attention on the game … we don’t want any overcooked steaks over there! Our deli associates can heat the potatoes for you, or you can pop them in the oven at home.
The Perfect Pair: It wouldn’t be right for us to recommend anything other than a full-bodied cabernet sauvignon wine to sip during the timeouts and commercial breaks!
