Chef-Crafted BBQ Meals

Boston Market Has Teamed Up with Celebrity Chef Robert Irvine

This BBQ season, Boston Market has teamed up with celebrity chef Robert Irvine to offer its customers something special.

Chef Robert Irvine is well known for both his cooking and his charity work, and his partnership with Boston Market touches on both of those passions. Together, the duo will offer the chef's signature smoked cheddar pork sausage and hickory-smoked pulled pork for a limited time. The proteins can be enjoyed in several ways, including in the form of a meat combo plate, or as a sandwich.

The initiative will help to raise awareness for the Robert Irvine Foundation, which provides serves for military personnel, veterans, first responders, and their families. Boston Market will also be donating $75,000 Robert Irvine Foundation to show its own support for the cause.
