It’s the Foodzie Backyard BBQ Cooking Box, $29.95, from our favorite new shopping site – Joyus. This kit is filled with essentials like Kansas City-Style BBQ Sauce for roasting ribs, Ancho Chicken Rub for grilling white meat, and Bourbon Barrel Worcestershire Sauce for adding yum to burgers. There’s even a bag of hand-cut potato chips that dad can throw back as he mans the grill, and a sack of yellow eye heirloom beans begging to be simmered.
If you want to spread more joy around his paternal world, you can throw in a few jars of Bacon Jam($34). It sounds like a Saturday Night Live skit, but once you taste of this savory treat, you won’t be laughing. Originally created by a Seattle food truck specializing in gourmet burgers, Bacon Jamis made by simmering together wholesome ingredients like onions, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and spices with the meat that men crave.
