Summer’s not over yet!!! Join Lilly and Justin on a hot sizzling adventure where we will get lost in the sauce on our way to the Bridgeyard BBQ. We’ll be crossing streams, dipping our toes into the crisp waterways, and making our way to the random Bridge to Nowhere. Once we get to the Bridge, Lilly and Justin will prepare a “gourmet”, wet, juicy, scrumptious, dripping, saucy feast of prepared meats and spreads. After our lunch feast, we will lounge around and chill before hiking back to the cars to return to USC. If you’re down to get wet and wild and beat the heat, we've got the meats!
*Disclaimer: If you’re a vegetarian/vegan/not a meat lover, please don’t be dissuaded. We will have excellent vegetarian BBQ options.
