Several different places around Calgary can help make grilling season easier. Skip the mess, the work, and the prep, and get yourself a barbecue kit to take home. All you need to do is fire up the grill and tend to the burgers, sausages, or steaks. A few of these restaurants also have tasty vegetarian or seafood options too.
What can you expect with a BBQ Kit? These premade grill kits often include protein, sides or appetizers, desserts, or drinks, and grilling instructions.
Cravings Market Restaurant
Do you crave barbecued striploin steaks, chicken breast, baby back ribs, or salmon filet? The Cravings Market Restaurant features four different take-home BBQ Kits featuring one of each meat. Barbecue them yourself at home, and enjoy accompaniments like salad, seared vegetables, and your choice of house made barbecue sauces.
