Who doesn't love a Independence Day BBQ? I submit that the person who sets it up may love it a bit less than the attendees. Three Brothers Butcher in Bayside wants to make the life of the BBQ coordinator just a bit easier this year, by introducing a series of butcher packs designed to take the guesswork out of buying meat. "We do a tremendous business for the fourth of July, I feel bad when my customers come in stressing about what to buy or how much to buy" Chef/Owner Tom DiLeo quipped. In order to help them out, Tom has put together four selections for easy purchase. They include popular meat selections, Three Brothers house ground sirloin burgers, all natural foot long hot dogs, Italian Sausage, as well as steakhouse quality strip steaks, skirt steaks, and ribeyes…depending on the pack you choose. According to DiLeo, he included the cuts that are easy to grill, and will be enjoyed by a larger percentage of guests.
The packs include Three Brothers sides, chosen from a selection of homemade favorites, potato salad, coleslaw, macaroni salad and more. DiLeo tries to steer people towards a homemade cucumber salad though "It's a perfect refreshing side for the summer, but most customers are hesitant…I give them a taste and they change their mind"
As for DiLeo, him and the other two brothers plan on putting together a seafood gumbo, "People think we are nuts for making a hot dish for a 4th of July BBQ, but the reality is, it's a great way to spice up the day"
Needless to say, gumbo is not featured in the "popular" Butcher Packs!
Three Brothers Butcher is a family owned and operated business located 40-21 Bell Boulevard in Bayside, N.Y.
