Evan’s Meat Market

For $55, grab the Grill & Chill Labor Day Bundle from Evan’s. The package includes four beef burger patties, four lightly smoked hot dogs, and buns from Doughregarde’s Bake Shop. There will also be hot dog and burger fixings like coleslaw, mustard, ketchup, dill pickles, sweet pickle relish, bacon jam, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, bacon, and Zapp’s potato chips.
