Kroger Stores Host Free BBQ Event Saturday
'Red, White & Barbecue' Celebrates Grilling

 
All 120 Kroger stores in the Mid-Atlantic Division are hosting a free barbecue grilling event Saturday.

     The grilling demonstration with samples is part of a two week event to help customers experience a new world of barbecuing and expand on traditional grilling favorites.

     â€śOur goal is to help customers expand their ability to prepare flavorful dishes all summer long,” said Allison McGee, spokesperson for the Mid-Atlantic Division.

Kroger’s first “Red, White & Barbecue” celebration begins tomorrow and continues through June 9. On both weekends of the event, stores will have food samples for customers to try, added McGee. They may include

     â€˘     Ball Park Finest Hot Dogs topped with Curly’s Pulled Pork

     â€˘     Wright Brand Bacon Steakhouse Scallops

     â€˘     Cucumber & Melon Sangria (nonalcoholic)

     â€˘     Fresh Cut Pineapple

     â€˘     Angus Roast Beef and Burger Blue Cheese

There will be special sales on meat, produce and grilling tools.

     â€śIn the Mid-Atlantic states, we love grilling and Kroger is the best choice for the right ingredients and recipes,” said McGee. She noted that 70 percent of Americans will grill outdoors between Memorial Day and the Fourth of July. Barbecue is ranked as the most popular food trend for 2015 by the American Culinary Federation and the National Restaurant Association.

     Kroger will have five displays in stores, offering customers a variety of flavors. “The displays take customers on a foodie journey across the country from the South to the Midwest to the Northwest and West,” said McGee. “The displays will have recipes from each region.”
