Graduation season is almost here in the Denver area, and that means it’s time to celebrate the hard work, late nights, and big accomplishments of the graduates in your life. Whether you’re hosting a backyard party, an open house, or a big gathering where friends and family stop by throughout the day, one thing always brings everyone together — great food.
At Edwards Meats, we make it easy to feed a crowd so you can spend less time cooking and more time celebrating the graduate.
Graduation parties and barbecue are a perfect match. Our smokehouse turns out slow-smoked favorites that are packed with flavor and perfect for casual celebrations where guests can come and go.
Popular graduation party picks include:
Everything is fully cooked and ready to enjoy, making it easy to create a buffet-style spread where guests can grab a plate and celebrate.
No graduation spread is complete without great sides, and our deli has some longtime favorites that customers come back for again and again.
One of the most popular is Darin’s mom’s American potato salad, made with Edwards Meats handcrafted bacon for extra flavor. It’s a classic party side that always disappears quickly at gatherings.
Our housemade baked beans are another crowd favorite — rich, hearty, and the perfect partner for barbecue.
Together, these sides make it easy to build a full graduation party spread.
Looking for something guests can snack on while they mingle? Our housemade appetizers are perfect for graduation parties where people are visiting, celebrating, and grabbing bites throughout the event.
Two customer favorites are:
They’re flavorful, easy to serve, and always a hit at parties.
Another great addition to any graduation party is our huge selection of handcrafted sausages. Made right here in-house, these sausages are perfect for the grill and add a fun variety to your party menu.
Throw a few different varieties on the grill and let guests choose their favorite — it’s an easy way to keep the food interesting and the grill going throughout the celebration.
If you’re expecting a crowd, party trays are one of the easiest ways to feed everyone.
We can prepare trays of smoked meats, sides, sausages, and deli favorites that are ready to set out when guests arrive. It’s a simple way to create a spread that looks great and keeps people coming back for seconds.
