What summer dish can we help you execute?

Grilled Bacon-Wrapped Brat with Beer Cheese

At restaurants, brats are special because they come with unique toppings and sauces, things diners can’t concoct easily at home. Serve up a Polidori sausage wrapped in bacon and easily presented with a side of our ready-to-use Beer Cheese Dip. A delicious taste of summer and grilling season!

Corn season is such a delicious time of the year! Celebrate the golden kernels in a menu item that makes for a great lunch or to-go order. For this dish, the flavors of street corn make their way into a vibrant bowl as a fun way to highlight summer corn on your menu. Toss the corn with our Queso Blanco to really catch your diners’ attention. Check out the menu idea here.
