A relaxed burger bar with on-point flavors and beer pairings, in partnership with Pints and Plates.
Every summer I aim to spend the maximum time possible out of doors. Besides pools and hikes and stoop sitting, Brian and I spend a couple evenings a week at the grill listening to thrum of insects while bats and swallows swoop overhead. And when we gather with friends, we make a bigger fire, pull some house furniture outside, and enjoy an evening under the stars.
Recently, we jointly hosted a cookout with friends in their backyard. We started with a simple appetizer platter of fresh vegetables, dips, and seeded crackers. Then, we laid out a full-on burger bar with an array of condiments, vegetables, pickles, and homemade spreads. To add a little order to the spread, we planned out a few suggestions for burger ingredients and beer pairings.

looks like so much fun! summer cookouts with friends are THE BEST!
Aww, thanks Aimee! They really are the best. I’d throw every party outside if I could.
I’d kill for my backyard to be as cute as yours. xo
If it makes you feel any better, it’s not mine. It’s my friends’ house, one of whom is an amazingly talented at carpentry, stonework, and landscaping, and it is just the coolest space ever. xo
