Summer’s officially hit Toronto, and I don’t know about you, but I’ve been itching to let my calves breathe in some shorts, throw my “Grill Mistress” apron on (that I obviously bought totally ironically), and get primal with my cooking — which is to say, over a carefully-controlled fire.

But, with therising cost of foodand grocery store meat products that rarely inspires confidence let alone dinner, getting a decent BBQ spread together can present a challenge.

This is why, whenWild Forkoffered to let us try their products, I jumped at the chance. Providing high-quality meat and seafood, think ofWild Forklike your local butcher, only you're able to get your products delivered straight to your door in the GTA — with the option to shop in person at their store in Whitby.

So throw on some sunscreen and your ironically-sloganed apron and let's get grilling!

Making my first order

When Wild Fork says they have a “wide variety of products,” I must stress that this is an understatement of just how “wide” of a “variety” they have in terms of those products.

They’ve got an amazing selection of classic grill fair you need likeground meat, burger mixes sausages, steaks, and ribs— with a pretty extensive section ofmarinated meatsif you’re not looking to plan ahead.

One of the coolest discoveries using Wild Fork was exploring theirspecialty meat section— with various cuts and styles of bison, wild boar, and venison.

That’s just the meats, they also have awide variety of poultry(not just chicken and turkey, but duck and cornish hens too) andseafood(everything from steelhead salmon to succulent langoustines). Truly, if you’ve thought about eating it, Wild Fork has got it.

Complete your BBQ spread

As much as we all would want a meal that’s just meat, my doctor has recommended I add other things like “vegetables” and “literally anything please, I beg” (his words, not mine). Thankfully, Wild Fork also has all the accoutrements to fill out your table so you can cut down on your grocery trips.

Whether you need extra brioche burger buns, flavoured butter that packs a punch, aready-to-go dessertthat tastes homemade, or extrasauces and spicesto season your order, you can add it to your Wild Fork delivery and get it shipped to your door.

There’s even a vast amount of frozenfruits and vegetables(if you want them, no judgment if not), andquick and easy sideslike truffle mashed potatoes and dijon beets to help you fill out your meals without much fuss.

Quality meat at a competitive price

Listen, I more than anyone love being bougie on a budget, and Wild Fork gives you all these grilling goodies without breaking your bank.

Everything they sell is priced competitively, whether you’re getting a premium cut or a weekly staple. While representing an unbeatable price point, over 70% of Wild Fork’s meat and seafood comes Canadian-raised.

Fast, easy delivery

野生叉的最大卖点之一,佛r me, was the same-day delivery options, especially since, as established, I have a goldfish brain that loves to forget things.

With two delivery windows per day, seven days a week, hosting BBQs on short notice is a snap.

And no, Wild Fork isn’t delivering loose, raw meat to your door, because that would be, to put it mildly, gross. Their blast-freezing technique locks in all the nutrients and flavour to keep your products fresh even if you’re not there to pick up your order right away.

Level up your summer BBQ

Overall, trying Wild Fork was a unique experience that I will be doing again soon. First-time customers get free delivery on their first order, so there's even more reason to give it a try.

The meats I got were a quick and welcome addition to my grill, and helped inspire me to get out of my comfort zone to experiment with meat I had never tried.

Yes, I did order and prep onecornish henfor me and my boyfriend, and yes, I did learn that, while small, that’s a lot of hen for one.

Also, the异国情调的滑块飞行was a good way of testing out some of the more, for lack of a better term, colourful meats before committing whole-hog to something I might not have liked.
