Summer is the perfect time for a BBQ. As people are vacationing, they’re looking for foods that remind them of summers of the past. It’s easy to bring the taste of summer to your business with brands like Southbend, Perfect Fry, and Evo.

Fire Up The Grill

The art of grilling has been around as long as humans have had access to fire. The food gets a distinct flavor and pleasing char that signifies summer by searing the meat with an open flame. The smell of grilled food alone brings back memories. But grilling isn’t just for meat anymore. 

In addition to steaks and burgers, commercial kitchens are cooking vegetables, shellfish, and fruits. The grilling of fruits brings out the natural sugars, so it’s a great way to bring a smoky punch to your desserts and salads. 

The Southbend Heavy Duty Counterline Charbroiler is built to bring grilling to your commercial kitchen. The three stainless steel burners give you plenty of BTUs to work with to get the perfect char and cook quickly. The ability to convert from radiant to briquette cooking allows for flexibility in meal preparation, while the high rear and side splash guards help with cleanup.

Would You Like Fries With That?

Fried foods are another food that brings up summertime memories. Fairs, carnivals, boardwalk kiosks, and concerts all have plenty of fried options that are fan favorites. Bring the taste of summer events inside with Perfect Fry. 

Giving foodservice operations the ability to fry quickly anywhere, Perfect Fry is ventless and has minimal downtime between batches. While traditional fryers require having an employee monitor the frying process, Perfect Fry has preset buttons so that any of your staff can easily operate it. And with its contained frying unit, there are no concerns about oil splashing and causing burns or slip accidents, making Perfect Fry an ideal way to offer customer favorites and add on a new profit center.
