Any holiday SOS would be remiss if we didn’t take a careful look at The Anderson’s and House of Meats. HOM in particular is a BBQ gold mine this time of year. Salmon skewers, amazing chicken breasts that are marinaded and ready for grilling, cowboy pork chops, and a whole selection wurst, dogs, sausages, and other “grill-ables”.
