- 6 Best Things to Eat This Summer
Your Shopping List for May 23, 2025!
Summer doesn't really arrive for a few more weeks, but the symbolic start of summer is here. No, I'm not talking about the first day you sweat through your bra, I'm talking about Memorial Day weekend. Even if you don't have any big BBQs on the agenda, there are BBQs and backyard parties in your future, we're sure of it. And whether you're hosting or just showing up to plop something on the snack table and then dissociate on a raft in the pool, we're here to steer you toward the best groceries to pick up for summer.

What’s on the Menu?
 | "If you, like me, would never dream of making pulled pork at home, I'm pleased to report that you can simply go to Costco and buy smoky, fatty, bark-y pulled pork that cooks in the microwave in just a few minutes. I truly can't wait to blow everyone's minds to bits when I serve pulled pork sandwiches instead of hot dogs at my next BBQ." - Gwynedd |
 | "Our quest to find the best potato salad has taken us all the way from California to Florida, a true cross-country search for greatness. Our #1 pick is regional, but don't worry—our second fave is available nationwide." - Ariana Losch, Staff Writer |
Watch Justine, Jordan & Gwynedd taste new sauces from Guy Fieri, Glen Powell (yes, the actor), and more. |
 | "We update our ranking of the best hot dogs every dang year, and Hebrew National beef franks have yet to be beat. They're beefy, salty, snappy, and perfectly seasoned. We love them." - Gwynedd |
"It pairs with pie. It's perfect with birthday cake. No, it isn't packed with mix-ins and swirls and whatnot, but the best vanilla ice cream is a summertime essential. Spoiler: Haagen-Dazs can't be beat." - Gwynedd |  |
