Memorial Day is considered the unofficial start of summer, and while many choose to celebrate by firing up the grill for the first time since last year, others prefer to just sit back and let the professionals do the cooking.
Several of our favorite local haunts are preparing Memorial Day meal packages to-go this year that include all the signature cookout dishes we've come to know and love. From brisket and smoked wings to potato salad and slaw, here are a few places you can pick up your Memorial Day feast this coming weekend.
Chef Matt Bolus will be serving up his Backyard BBQ favorites to go this year. The family meal will serve a minimum of six people (additional guests can be added as needed) and include a ham charcuterie plate, salad, shrimp cocktail, smoked pork shoulder tacos, BBQ ribs, cold-brined fried chicken, sides, dessert, and non-alcoholic iced tea brew. The 404 Old Fashioned and 404 Margarita will also be available for purchase by the pint. The meal is $38 per person and can be pre-ordered until 5 p.m. on Friday, May 22, by calling 615-939-3702 or by emailing events@the404nashville.com. the404nashville.com
