Sundial BBQ Blowouts: A Great Way to Spend Your Saturday

If you’re looking for something to do this Saturday, or any Saturday over the summer, head over to Sundial and give the BBQ Blowout a try! Barbeques and cookouts are summer afternoon staples. This year, at Sundial Beach Resort & Spa, the staple came early with the introduction of weekly BBQ Blowouts. My family and I have spent more than one Saturday piling our plates and playing the afternoon away.

With 6 grams of fiber and 6 grams of protein, it kills your hunger and gives you energy for quite a while.
