Nothing says summer quite like good food, great company, and a little red, white, and blue! Every year, we look forward to our annual Independence Day Barbecue—and this year was an extra special one, because we also celebrated our 50 year anniversary! More than anything, this celebration is about togetherness. It’s a chance to step away from our desks, enjoy each other's company, and soak in the spirit of independence, gratitude, and fun. 

We started the day with a behind the scenes tour of our warehouse to see our production team in action. It was so exciting to witness firsthand the craftsmanship, care and attention to detail that goes into creating our products! Our teams then gathered under sunny skies for an afternoon filled with grilled goodies, great music, games and lots of laughter. And while we work hard all year long, we know the importance of taking time to celebrate together. Here’s to good food, great company, and the little moments that bring us closer. Happy Fourth of July from the Azar family to yours!
