There’s something about that first cool evening of fall that changes what sounds good for dinner.
Suddenly, we’re ready for a big pot of chili, a roast that’s been cooking all afternoon, something warm and comforting in the oven—or a pile of brats on the grill while we’re still enjoying those last beautiful days outside.
Fall just makes you want to cook.
And around here, we’re ready for it.
It’s hard to think about fall without thinking about Oktoberfest. The official celebration in Munich begins September 19 this year and runs through October 4, but you don’t need a plane ticket to get in on the fun.
You really just need a good bratwurst. Make sure to check out our German Oktoberfest Brat!
Edwards has plenty to choose from, whether you’re looking for something traditional, something smoky, something spicy or one of our specialty varieties. Throw them on the grill, add some sauerkraut and your favorite sides, and you’ve got yourself a pretty good Oktoberfest right at home.
And if you’re a sausage fan, you’re in luck…
We have more than 100 varieties of fresh and smoked brats, sausages and wieners made right here at Edwards. So October seems like a pretty good time to explore the sausage case.
Maybe you’ll stick with an old favorite. Maybe you’ll try something you’ve never had before. Or maybe you’ll grab a few different varieties and turn dinner into a sausage taste test.
We’re not here to tell you how to celebrate National Sausage Month.
We’re just here to make sure you have plenty of options.
As the days get shorter and the temperatures drop, the slow cooker starts earning its place on the counter again.
This is the time of year for chuck roasts, pork roasts, country-style ribs, stew meat and all those cuts that become something pretty special when they’re given a little time.
It’s also chili season. Soup season. “What’s that amazing smell?” season.
A package of ground beef or sausage can turn into a big pot of dinner that feeds the family tonight and gives you something to look forward to tomorrow. And honestly, some meals are even better the next day.
Fall food doesn’t have to be complicated.
Sometimes it’s burgers and brats on the grill while everyone watches the game. Sometimes it’s wings, smoked sausage and a table full of appetizers. Sometimes you just need a few things that can feed a hungry group without keeping you stuck in the kitchen all afternoon.
That’s where we come in.
Burgers, brats, wings, smoked meats, bacon-wrapped favorites, stuffed mushrooms and plenty of other game-day foods make it pretty easy to put together a spread people will keep coming back to.
Because the best game-day food is usually the food that disappears first.
Between football games, Halloween, neighborhood get-togethers, Sunday dinners and those random “let’s have everyone over” nights, fall gives us plenty of reasons to get together.
And you don’t have to wait for a holiday to make it special.
Pick up something for the grill. Try a new sausage. Put a roast in the oven on Sunday. Make a giant pot of chili. Invite some people over and tell everyone to bring their appetite.
Good food doesn’t need much of an occasion.
We’re not trying to rush it.
There’s still plenty of fall to enjoy before we start talking turkey. But let’s be honest—once October gets rolling, Thanksgiving has a way of sneaking up on us.
Before long, we’ll be talking turkeys, prime rib, holiday sides, pies and all the Edwards favorites that make the Thanksgiving table a little more special.
We’ll have all the details for you when the time comes.
For now, though, we’re going to enjoy the season we’re in.
Cooler weather, good food, a little more time around the table—that’s a pretty good combination.
Stop by Edwards Meats and see what’s for dinner.
After all, fall only comes around once a year. Let’s eat well while it’s here.
