Get Your Grill On!
Guests are due to arrive any minute. Now what? Relax. You’ve already done all the hard work. Set out glasses and be sure you’ve got a corkscrew handy. We love new Sutter Home RED served chilled—its vivacious personality and lush flavors are the perfect way to kick off any party. So add a bottle or two to your cooler with white wine selections—your guests are sure to enjoy this twist on traditional red wine.
After guests have had a chance to mingle for a bit, invite them to join you to take our Burger Personality Quiz. Read the questions aloud and have everyone write down their answers on a paper marked with their name. At the end of the quiz, tally responses and assign a burger personality to each guest. For fun, you can have each group assemble together—there may be some surprises!
Now that everyone’s inner Burger Personality has been revealed, it’s time to fire up the grill! Just be sure to take your burgers out of the fridge half an hour before cooking—throwing a cold burger on a grill can cause it to stick and cook unevenly.
And now, the moment of truth. Chow down! How did our burgers rate? Between bites, talk amongst yourselves. Take an informal poll and rate the winning burger.
Throw down a challenge: invite guests to enter the 2009 Sutter Home Build a Better Burger competition. Maybe someone in your group will take home the big $50,000 grand prize!
