How To: Throw An Awesome BBQ

Written by Ashley

Ketchup, flip-flops & friends. It’s BBQ season.

As we look back on winter with a longing for snowball fights, hot-cocoa nights & the rush of running down the street in heels atop several inches of hard ice, let us look to the future… spring, summer & sun. Prep for your first big bbq this season with these seemingly essential tools:

Decor: Ak47 Design Mangiafuoco Outdoor Fire Pit: while you or your BBQ master of a roomie/mate gets their grill on, cozy around an outdoor firepit for conversation, rousing marshmallow roasting or… ya know, fire-breathing competitions.  [pricing varies // homeinfatuation.com]

Garb: Hip Hop (iHop parody) apron: Sling burgers, blast Biggie & let the summer roll in. Hip Hop Hoorayyyyyy. [$21 zazzle.com]

Invite: Let’s Ketchup Card: Skip the Facebook/bcc e-mail & mass text by sending this kitschy & playful invite to your fav BBQ eatin’ fools.  [$2.50 etsy.com]


Grub: Mini Fun BBQ in Pink: If you’re an NYC kid, hopeful of BBQ times on a teeny balcony or a rooftop that won’t withstand the girth of a traditional grill, this will sate your desire, with a pretty pink bow on top.  [$24.99 amazon.com]
