Now I dont know about your family but holiday meals have been a tradition since I can remember. Along with that has also carried a brand name we always know we can expect. I can tell you that not a thanksgiving has gone by since I can remember that we didnt have a spiral ham for my father. Honey Baked Ham has become more than a tradition in just our home but in homes across the country. I was more than excited to head to my nearest store location,the Sterling Heights, MI store, when Honey Baked Ham asked us to give them another review for the coming Thanksgiving holiday.
When I first visited the H.B.H. locations this past Spring, I was beyond surprised with their in depth menu variety they had available for everyday eating. I had an extensive menu to choose from.which included a variety of poultry, pork, seafood, and beef as well as sides, appetizers, desserts, and condiments. They are a perfect place for large scale entertaining, daily family meals, catered professional lunches, and a quick bite to eat for any individual. Each time I arrive, I am overwhelmed and have no idea what to get since I want it all.
This time around the same gentleman that helped me a ton last time was working again but unfortunately in the back prepping a little more. Unfortunately, the staff member who helped me this time wasn't quite as enthusiastic but at least I knew what I had in mind for the family holiday meal. As I mentioned last time, I've always felt the pricing at Honey Baked Ham was too high, when that honestly is NOT the case.
For my Thanksgiving visit, I purchased a half spiral boneless ham, a sliced smoked turkey breast, and two 1 lb. packs of stacked/sliced bacon, and two sides of coleslaw for a total of $95. Without even factoring in the quality, when you think about the amount of meat this is with the number of people I can feed, plus the fact that I don't have to spend hours preparing Thanksgiving Dinner, you're really looking at a cheap gourmet meal. I am thinking probably less than $5 per person.
I was also excited to find out that "over 40 years ago, Harry J. Hoenselaar began a special tradition when he opened his first The HoneyBaked Ham Company store in Michigan. He'd select the finest quality bone-in ham. Cure it in his secret marinade, and then for tenderness, he'd smoke the ham for hours over a unique blend of hardwood chips. He even found a way to slice the ham into perfectly even slices. He invented and patented a unique machine that slices a ham in a single, continuous spiral. The rest is history." Yeah for Michigan local brands!!
I love that all I need to do is prepare the sides (that I did not purchase from H.B.H.), get myself and the kids dressed, and I am good to go for Thanksgiving Dinner this year. This is especially important to me since this year will be our first hosting dinner in our new home. As if I won't be stressed enough about all the cleaning and everything being perfect for each of my families first visit here, now I will have less to worry about in preparation for everyone's arrival. I could even have my husband help with the cooking without fear of a complete disaster, LOL.
Not only are we in love with the sense enhancing effects of the Honey Baked Ham products but mouth watering tastes are unlike any others you will find available! I love that I figured out my last visit that the cost is more than worth the purchase and then some. How many people can say they host gourmet Thanksgiving Dinner (buffet even) and are prepared in less than an hour for any given guest count?!
