Rocklands Barbeque and Grilling Company
Love it. May is officially National Barbeque Month. A whole month devoted to great smoky aromas, and fall-off-the-bone meat, and tangy sauces. This is MUCH better than National Dental-Care Month. What, you might ask, should I do to celebrate this tasty month? Very simple: Sometime in the next 31 days, introduce a friend to true …
You know them as the people who keep your business on track, or who make sure your kid’s lost backpack stays in the front office, or who organize lunch for the office retreat. Everyone recognizes them — and says thanks! — on Administrative Professionals Day. This year, why not buy your favorite administrators lunch from …
Those of you who’ve been here before know the drill: One special spring day, you walk into your favorite Rocklands and find a whole barbequed pig displayed on the front table. Crackling skin, melting smoky meat, yummy fixings. Your friendly Rocklands crew member slices you off a chunk or two — complimentary tastes! — and …
For the past few years — four, to be exact — we’ve partnered with Doorways for Women and Families to kick off our Arlington patio season. On Thursday, April 19, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm, Rocklands will officially open the Arlington patio with a special Doggy Yappy Hour to benefit Doorways. Two-legged guests will “shed” their …
363 days* a year, our grillmasters are flipping smoky ribs, rich salmon and tasty marinated veggies over our wood fires. For one week, we give them delicious wild meats and fish to prepare HOWEVER they choose — it’s “Grills Gone Wild,” the 2012 edition! Remember the muskrat last year? This year we searched far and …
Happy holidays to all our friends and fans! Thanks for your patronage this year; it means a lot to us. We’ve prepared a little holiday video-card for you: Cheers and Happy New Year from all of us at Rocklands.
We could start singing “The Twelve Days of Christmas” right now, but really, that’s not helpful, is it? What you need is a handful of good gift ideas for the barbecue fan in your life. Here are five — some obvious, some not-so: A Rocklands gift card. We have ’em in every location, and YOU …
We’re torn, we admit it. Should we tell you all about the delicious foods we are offering at Art on the Avenue or should we tell you about the abundance of grosgrain ribbon belts and girly little hair bands? Whatever your fancy, be sure to stop over at this fantabulous street fair in the heart …
We’ve been watching all this rain with a careful eye. Will it stop by Friday? Will the wind die down? Here’s hoping that “yes” is the answer to both those questions, because we can’t wait to barbeque at Flower Mart. We’ve been serving ‘que at the Cathedral for so many years now that we’ve lost …
Ballston Patch has outed Rocklands Arlington on the canned beer. We had hoped to keep our supply a secret — you know, only doling out the cans to our closest friends. But then along comes Ballston Patch, and points out that not only do we have a hefty supply of good beer in cans . …
Ah, spring. Rain, flooding, pollen. And family holidays, when we get together for big meals, fancy dresses and hats. While not AS potentially stressful as Thanksgiving, Easter cooking can be tricky. You have activities in the morning — be they church or egg-hunts or both — that can make getting a big family meal on …
Three years ago, we teamed up with Doorways for Women and Families of Arlington for a fun event to raise awareness and a bit of money. We invited all of you to the patio at Rocklands Arlington, and asked you to bring non-perishable food items and/or good old coats that someone could still use. And …
Remember last year in March, when we thought it would be fun to cook up some wild stuff, let the grill guys run a little crazy for a week? When you first tasted wild boar sausages and said “yum”? Well, we’re doing it again. “Grills Gone Wild” hits all four Rocklands next week, March 7-13. What …
We thought Jim Shahin’s Washington Post story on smoking the Thanksgiving turkey was great. His Bourbon-Brined Smoked Turkey is a good recipe to bookmark, cut out, save however it is you save recipes. In the recipe and article, Jim talked about bourbon (for the bird) and smoking (for the bird). What he did not talk about was …
Rocklands’ family member Jim Armstrong, an officer with the United States Navy Reserve, has been working at a Navy hospital in Kandahar since July. He is of course an avid fan of Rocklands’ real barbeque. Well, we can’t ship barbequed meat [...]
