Students in the Class of 2025 are counting down the days until they are done with school, which means their whole family is counting down to the big graduation party to celebrate their accomplishments and bright futures.

Of course, a big part of any celebration is the food, and graduates and their parents want the food they serve at their parties to be memorable for all the right reasons. To help plan, Sysco Retail Store is hosting a graduation taste-testing with items selected by their store chef, who regularly helps area restaurants develop their menus with Sysco products.

Stop by the Grad Taste-Testing Event from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 25 to sample this menu:

  • Shredded beef brisket
  • Burnt end sausages
  • Smoked pulled chicken
  • Garlic potatoes
  • Captain Ken's baked beans
  • Tri-color chips with fire-roasted salsa
  • Cheesecake supreme
  • Lemon bars
  • Pork carnitas with fresh pica de gallo on a flour tortilla

Enjoy a discount during the taste-testing on any of the featured menu items. Remember, Sysco Retail Store carries restaurant-quality foods, often in larger quantities, so you'll be purchasing the best for your guests and saving time on prep.

No membership is needed to attend or shop at Sysco Retail Store at 900 Highway 10 S, Saint Cloud. They are open from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Mondays through Wednesdays and from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays.
