There's no place like Hormel Foods for the holidays.

The holidays are a special time that calls for special food. And Hormel Foods has a full array of holiday food ideas, ranging from traditional to trendy.

For operators looking for that Thanksgiving turkey taste without the hassle, Hormel Foods HOLIDAY CLASSIC™ turkey breast is a real holiday treat. This whole muscle breast contains no binders, extenders or fillers. It’s oven roasted and browned in vegetable oil for extra taste and a wonderful appearance.

With catering season upon us, Hormel Foods has exactly what you need to create a memorable experience:

• AUSTIN BLUES® genuine barbeque is ready for you to serve in only minutes. Each product is hardwood smoked for up to 16 hours in our smokehouse. You just add your signature sauce, heat, and serve. Some of our more popular AUSTIN BLUES® items include brisket, pulled pork and baby back ribs.
• HORMEL® ALWAYS TENDER® fresh pork is perfect for catering because it was specifically developed to withstand overcooking and long hold times. It consistently turns out moist and tender. Available in pork loin, pork tenderloin, pork butt, pork chops and a wide variety of other cuts
• CAFÉ H® ethnic proteins let you serve today’s bold, on-trend flavors with ease. Just heat and serve the fabulous flavors from around the globe, including pork ossobuco, pork and beef barbacoa, chicken tinga, and more.
• Fresh, never frozen BREAD READY® pre-sliced meats are always ready when there are sandwiches or meat platters to be made. These pre-sliced meats give you perfect convenience and 100% yield. From old favorites like ham, turkey and roast beef, to specialty cuts such as pastrami, corned beef, salami and pepperoni, BREAD READY® meats are your complete solution for pre-sliced meats.

Finally, step out of the holiday box this year with “small plates” – the latest trend popping up in restaurants, at special events, and bars everywhere. They let you offer more variety and choices to your patrons, and they’ll reciprocate by ordering more! A number of Hormel Foods products, including dry sausage, are perfect for letting your customers sample your menu now, then return for the full meal for the rest of the year.
