βGive me BBQ or give me death.β
- George Washington, probably
All Summer long, itβs like weβre playing the greatest hits of BBQ dream holidays. And just when you think it canβt get any better, along comes the one cookout to rule them all.
Happy 4th of July!
We know the Dead Meat Society will all be out there this weekend celebrating Independence Day. And just in time, weβve got the recipes you need.
Well, to be fair, Delish has the 4th of July recipes and appetizers you need. (Credit where credit is due.)
But we took the time to point out a few we know youβre going to likeβ¦
Best Ever Guacamole - Because if thereβs not guac at the party, Iβm not going.
Loaded Mediterranean Sweet Potato Fries - Go above and beyond the call of duty.
Bacon-Wrapped JalapeΓ±o Poppers - American as it comes.
Big Mac Hot Dogs - There are hot dogs on the 4thβ¦ then, thereβs Big Mac Hot Dogs on the 4th. Which one seems more American to you?
Grilled Beer Brats - Hot dogs not your thing? How about a beer brat? Thatβs a whole different vibe.
Grilled Ribs - This is what you whip out when you want the whole neighborhood to roll through.
So what do we think, Dead Meat Society? What will you be grilling to celebrate your independence?
Happy 4th to you and yours!

Like the memes you send back and forth in your group chat, except these wonβt get you canceled. Oh, and lots more grill marks.

Meat & Greet
Dead Meat Society is all about community. Weβre here to support and uplift the pursuit of delicious meats and the people and brands who are doing it right.
Today, letβs Meat and Greetβ¦
Spiceology is the nerdiest (in a good way) spice-maker in the game. Theyβre mixing up spice combos youβve never even thought about before. For the adventurous BBQers out there, this is what you want to be experimenting with in your backyard lab.
Check out the various (insane) combinations. Dead Meat Society, show us what you make with it: spiceology.com
Know someone who deserves to be featured? Send us their info for next weekβs Meat & Greet.

Like a Paula Deen cookbook, but with less butter and more BBQ sauce.
Now weβre talking. Put a little Southern hospitality on the grill.
Give a cut of picnic shoulder a chance, why donβt ya?
We know, itβs not BBQ. But look at it. Whip this out of the freezer when your BBQ nemesis starts getting a little too cocky at the function.
Have a recipe you want to share? Submit it for next weekβs Butcherβs Block.

A happy ending just for you.
Thatβs it for this week. If you make any of the recipes above, youβre legally obligated to send us a picture and give feedback so we can feature it next week (sorry, we donβt make the rules).
And since the only thing that is better than grill marks and ice-cold beer is grill marks and ice-cold beer with a side of dad jokes, weβll leave this right hereβ¦

The Butcher Shop
No meat for sale. But definitely not vegan.
You asked for merch. So we cooked some up. SO much more to come.
