BBQ season is so wonderful. Actually at our house we BBQ all year long. The snow could be 2 feet high on our deck but there my husband is shoveling a path to the BBQ so we can have the perfect steak, makes my mouth water just thinking about it. I don’t order steak when we go to a restaurant because it always fails in comparison to my wonderful husband’s grilling perfection. One thing that goes really well on the BBQ is to use a spice rub on your meat of choice and then grill it to perfection, try one of our Ocean Crate Food Company spice rub with Honey Garlic or Cajun Chicken, YUM! Another favorite product of mine is Gourmet Village Beer Barbeque sauce, it puts that little extra zing on the perfect steak or ribs. If dad loves to BBQ, send him a King of the Grill Father’s Day gift basket so he can get his grill on too!

Food gift baskets are very popular gifting choices. Recipients love the delicious treats they contain. The containers themselves are often practical and can be re-used or kept as general use containers. There is more variety with food gifts then just using traditional wicker gift baskets. Tin planters and unique tin containers are just two other options available. Gourmet food gift baskets have come a long way since the dawn of the internet and gift companies are having to come up with creative ways to stand out among the competition.

There’s a big trend nowadays on buying organic fruits and vegetables. I guess you have to have faith that the company isn’t just packaging regular produce and calling it organic. The benefits are obvious - no pesticides, heathy and better quality food, but the expense can be a bit prohibitive. It’s always good to source out a trusted supplier to make sure that you are comfortable with who you select.
