HINT:
I’m marbled like fine art,
I’m the pride of the steer,
And I’ll sizzle on your grill
now that summer is here.
With some bacon and ribs,
which are all from the pig,
Add in some ground beef & more,
I’m a prize that is BIG!
(heaviest box that we’ve packed to date)

Today's adventures in spreading awareness of ALS — live TV! The joke at the end about the fireworks is funny when you know Jeremy followed the Fire Marshall speaking of July 4th Firework Safety. :)
