Celebrate 'National Barbecue Day’ This May 16th!
National Barbecue Day is celebrated every May 16 to serve as a reminder of the delicious food that Americans have access to. Go to a restaurant or have a grill in your own backyard. Just make sure you celebrate the day with a lot of passion for delicious flavor!
From smoked meats to grilled sausages, these barbecue joints are sizzling with great fare. And make sure to save room for those gooey sides like macaroni and cheese and baked beans. We’ve also included a gluten-free recipe you can try on your grill at home.
If you're taking advantage of our Paint From Home Kits, OR our Private Virtual Parties, you can pair your painting experience with grilled food and great friends from the location of your choice! While many customers prefer the in-person experience that the studio classes provide, sometimes a virtual event is just want you need.
The great thing about these at-home experiences is that you can do it YOUR WAY! Set up the art supplies, get the instructional video ready to play, and enjoy music, food, and of course some "liquid creativity" (wine, beer, or a other drink of your choice!) to help get your creative juices, flowing!
Check out some of our favorite BBQ recipes AND some delicious sides to go with!
Enjoy!
