This month, we celebrated America’s 250th anniversary and many of us marked this occasion with friends and family at backyard barbecues and cookouts. With the semiquincentennial fresh on our minds, we asked our team what their favorite cook out dish is. From family favorites to viral recipes, here’s what they had to say!

Clearly, we have some foodies here at SEK. We hope you had a great Independence Day, and maybe you’ll find some inspiration for your next cookout!
