Who doesn’t love a good potluck meal? How about enjoying one on the same day as people across the U.S.? Strack & Van Til will help set the table for a flavorful celebration on Sunday, July 5, as an official sponsor of America’s Potluck, a nationwide cooking event created by America’s Test Kitchen to mark our country’s 250th anniversary.

Communities nationwide will gather with family, friends and neighbors and host potlucks, whether a lively neighborhood block party or a simple backyard meal. It’s a day to slow down, enjoy good company and the comfort of a Sunday meal and celebrate the many ways Americans cook.

Visit your local Strack & Van Til Meat Department for a wide assortment of meats to make your potluck contribution stand out.

“Our pub burgers offer something for every taste, whether it’s bacon cheddar, Swiss mushroom, jalapeño, pepper or blue cheese,” notes Meat Department Director Gary Teachman. “Sink your teeth into these juicy, hearty and flavorful burgers and show up to your potluck meal with a classic that feels special.”

With so many tasty options, you can’t go wrong with the sausage selection, adds Teachman. Choices include 3 Floyds Zombie Dust Beer brats, bacon cheddar brats, pineapple brats and time-honored traditional bratwurst.

For guests who want something fun, colorful and easy to serve, the Meat Department’s marinated shish kabobs offer bright, bold options such as chicken tomato basil, chicken mesquite and chicken butter garlic. Unmarinated beef and chicken are also available for cooks who want to personalize their kabobs with their own seasoning or re-create a family recipe.

Marinated chicken thighs round out the offerings with flavors that range from conventional to adventurous. With options including Southwest style, Parmesan garlic, Nashville style hot and mango habanero, you’re sure to please everyone’s palate.

America’s Potluck will be as delicious as it is meaningful, as it celebrates our country’s birthday and its diverse food traditions. Make your potluck stand out by shopping at your local Strack & Van Til for your favorite meats to bring something unforgettable to the table.
