The Ultimate Man Burger

Bay Breeze Patio is celebrating its 11th year serving the Emerald Coast with a two-day anniversary event, March 27-28, 2015. The celebration features outdoor living experts from the most popular furniture brands, fireplace and fire pit experts, grill masters from premium grill lines, sale prices and more. “Our anniversary is the perfect time to celebrate outdoor living and thank all of our loyal customers and the community for their support and patronage over the years,” said co-owner Susan Kiley. “We hope everyone will stop by during the weekend, which includes delicious food, and incredible sales to help get everyone ready for spring.”

The festivities begin at 10 a.m. on Friday with representatives from premier outdoor furniture brands, premium grill lines, hearth products and decorative accessories, providing demonstrations and answering questions. Outdoor living experts from Tropitone, Lane Venture, Lloyd Flanders, Windham & Skyline, Tommy Bahama, and Poly-wood, among others will be on hand to answer questions and provide expert advice and recommendations.

On Saturday, at 2 p.m., Bay Breeze Patio will host the third annual “Burger Throwdown” grilling competition. I was on hand to judge this delicious event last year where Grill masters with Big Green Egg, AOG & FireMagic, Broilmaster, Twin Eagle Grills, Delta Heat Grills, Wilmington Grills, and Memphis Wood Fire Grills compete for the title of “Best Burger on the Coast”.  Teams must incorporate one of the Wayne’s Get Grillin’ Rubs in their burger creation.  Judges this year will include local chefs and media.

Throughout the weekend, Bay Breeze Patio will offer special

pricing on premium outdoor furniture brands, including Brown Jordan, Jensen Leisure IPE, Tropitone, Seaside Casual, Breezesta, Poly-wood, Lloyd Flanders, Lane Venture, Summer Classics, Winston and Tommy Bahama. In addition, premium grills, including Twin Eagles, Delta Heat, Echelon, AOG, and Broilmaster will be discounted 20 percent. Gas log sets by Empire Comfort, Superior and RH Peterson will also be discounted up to 20 percent. A truckload sale of florals, trees and artwork will help residents prepare their patio for spring.

The anniversary event will take place rain or shine at Bay Breeze Patio in Miramar Beach from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Fri. and Sat. Bay Breeze Patio is located at 32 Forest Shore Drive in Miramar Beach, one mile west of Silver Sands Premium Outlets. For more information call 850.269.4666 or visit www.baybreezepatio.com.
