There’s a little over two months left of Jackson Whole Grocer‘s Grill Series, and you don’t want to miss it! Since mid-June, the Whole Grocer grill’s been sizzling up some of Jackson’s finest meat, poultry and seafood for just $5!
According to the Whole Grocer’s meat and seafood manager, Justin Shepler, he originated the grill series out of a passion for sharing food.
“It was more of a way to have people try new things, sample things from our department that they may not have wanted to try or were too hesitant to try, so I just put those things into our barbecue season,”

The grill-out takes place every Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Shepler’s advice is to follow your nose to the best deal in Jackson.
“It’s really not a money-making event,” he said. “It’s more to just break even and give people a good experience.”
Here are Shepler’s top grilling tips:
- Start with a clean grill
- Oil the grill lightly two minutes before placing food down
- Don’t move the food around
- Don’t squeeze or flatten meats
- Keep a spray bottle handy for flare-ups
- Buy a meat thermometer for a perfect internal temperature
- Avoid putting cold foods straight on the grill
- Check the local Health Department site for desired cooking temperatures for different proteins
