Entertaining made easy with lunch boxes, picnic baskets & gourmet grilling essentials

The Dirty Apron Delicatessen at 540 Beatty Street is now packing picnic baskets for a day at the beach, delivering lunches to the office, and preparing everything you need to throw the perfect dinner party, backyard BBQ, or rooftop soirée.

LUNCH BOXES & PLATTERS

Downtown workers can now pre-order deli lunchboxes and charcuterie and cheese platters for delivery or pickup. The Business Lunch boxes are the perfect way to keep clients and co-workers happy, with a gourmet sandwich on daily baked bread, a fresh salad, beverage and homemade cookie. For larger groups, a gourmet platter of local cheese, pre-sliced charcuterie and fresh baguette will propel your business meeting from run-of-the-mill to gastronomic success. For delivery Monday to Friday from 11am to 2pm, pre-order prior to 4pm the day before at www.dirtyapron.com/deli or swing by and pickup during deli hours between 10am and 8pm.

PICNICS

Stop in and order a packed picnic lunch for two or more that includes sandwiches, small fresh salads, cookies and drinks. Or choose the gourmet picnic to add charcuterie and cheese, crackers and dips, organic fruit and chocolate pistachio cream cheese brownies. Picnics come complete with a Dirty Apron beach bag (which doubles as a perfect summer tote), and the option of a scene-setting picnic blanket for two.

BBQ’s

Whether you’re entertaining on the rooftop or hosting a backyard BBQ, our Delicatessen lifts all the hassle from the host and does the dirty work for you. Dish out garden fresh salads and gourmet appetizers to your guests before throwing your freshly marinated meats or homemade burgers on the barbeque. Take the work out of entertaining – all you have to do is grill!

DINNER MADE EASY

Let our team of inspired chefs cook dinner tonight. Just let us know how many people will be seated at your table and then choose from daily dinner specials, carvery meals, freshly made casseroles, lasagnes, pastas, or desserts. It’s the recipe for a perfect meal with friends or family and a great option for busy parents.
