With temperatures in Norwalk reaching as high as 86 degrees with a 30 percent chance of rain Friday and Saturday, you and your family may be planning to have guests over for a barbecue.
Sal Santamaria, a cook at Bull's Head Market, had a few tips for what to buy to please every guest.
- Pulled ribs and beef ribs are a sure hit because "it's a barbecue and everyone likes ribs, right?" Santamaria said.
- Hamburgers, cheeseburgers and hot dogs are staples at any cookout.
- Vegetables, such as roasted peppers and corn, make a healthy side dish. Santamaria also suggested onions because they "go well with the ribs."
- Grilled chicken is another must, Santamaria said, because "a lot of people love chicken, too."
- For vegetarians who want more than a salad, Santamaria suggested picking up a few of Bull's Head's spinach nut burgers. "That's really good," he said. "It's got chick peas and I think walnuts, but if someone is allergic to nuts, you can tell [the Bull's Head employees] you don't want nuts."
