Hey friends and foodies!

The Fourth of July is right around the corner, and there’s no better way to celebrate than with a backyard grill, family and friends, and the unmistakable flavors of a New England summer. Whether you’re hosting the neighborhood or keeping it low-key, we’ve got your cookout covered at FamousFoods.com.

Start with a true classic: Kayem Old Tyme franks. Made with premium cuts of pork and beef, these natural casing franks bring that iconic snap and rich flavor that’s been loved for generations. Toss them on the grill, give them a char, and watch them disappear faster than the fireworks start.

No hot dog is complete without the right toppings, and Cain’s condiments are here to deliver. Pile on Cain’s zesty mustard, classic relish, or creamy coleslaw for a burst of nostalgic flavor. Made in New England and packed with hometown taste, Cain’s is the go-to for dressing up dogs, burgers, and sandwiches all summer long.

And when it’s time to cool off, nothing hits the spot like Del’s Lemonade. This Rhode Island original is a must-have for any cookout—frozen, frosty, and refreshingly tart. Just add sunshine and maybe a lawn chair.

So fire up the grill, grab your favorites, and stock up on everything you need to serve up a red, white, and wicked good Fourth of July.

From our Famous Foods family to yours, cheers to good food and great company!

This Father’s Day, skip the tie and give Dad something he really wants – bold, savory, smoky flavor straight from the grill. At FamousFoods.com, we’re celebrating dads with three must-have grilling picks from a New England favorite: Gaspar’s Meats. Known for their Portuguese heritage and premium quality, these classics will take Dad’s backyard BBQ to legendary status.

1. Gaspar’s Linguica – The Portuguese Powerhouse

Gaspar’s famous Linguica is a smoky, garlicky Portuguese sausage that’s perfect on the grill. Made from a generations-old family recipe, this sausage has just the right balance of spice and snap. Grill it whole, slice it into sandwiches, or skewer it with peppers and onions.

Why Dad Will Love It:
✔️ Authentic Portuguese flavor

✔️ Great in buns, bowls, or on its own

2. Gaspar’s Chourico – A Spicy Crowd-Pleaser

Kick things up a notch with Gaspar’s Chourico, a slightly spicier cousin to Linguica. This sausage brings the heat in all the right ways—smoked, seasoned, and absolutely made for the grill. It’s a bold pick for the dad who likes his flavors big and his grill marks perfect.

Why Dad Will Love It:
✔️ Full-bodied, spicy flavor
✔️ Pairs great with beer and backyards
✔️ Fantastic on kebabs or chopped into grilled rice dishes

3. Gaspar’s Turkey Linguica – Leaner, Lighter, but Loaded with Flavor

Why Dad Will Love It:
✔️ Lower fat, same great flavor
✔️ Grills beautifully
✔️ Ideal for sandwiches, grain bowls, or eating straight off the skewer
