Holiday Weekend Kits from The Butcher Shop

Barbara Lynch Gruppo

Whether your traditional 4th of July fare is more backyard cook-out or beachy clambake, the folks at The Butcher Shop have you covered with an array of kits designed to cover all the culinary bases. Scroll through the different packages below – the Summer Seafood Kit, the Summer Grilling Kit and the New England Clambake Kit – all of which are meant to serve 2-4 people and can be enhanced with optional wine pairings. Once you know which one(s) will suit your celebration, place your order online before 7:00pm on Thursday, July 2nd (or asap, just in case they sell out). Be sure to peruse the a la carte section, too where you can add-on goodies like truffled mac and cheese, watermelon salad and the Miami Vice Cocktail Kit which includes everything you need (except the booze) to make Strawberry Daiquiris and Piña Coladas. They’ll have your kit(s) ready for pick-up on Friday, July 3rd (from 4:00-8:00pm) or Saturday, July 4th (from 12:00-5:00pm) so you can grab ‘em and be on your with fixin’s for a fun and delicious Independence Day.
