Hey there, I like to eat fun food. Tasty food too. I really like creamy food. Yes, I am a spicy food fan having lived for years in the southwest U.S. Hearty food — love it! And unique food is always a culinary adventure. It’s all here for dining on the patio. These recipes are tried and true favorites from Randy’s Eat Shop — food we’ve made year after year with great satisfaction. And so, we are bringing you the best of what we love to eat outdoors on our patio.
And it’s not just that all these recipes taste fabulous, but they are fun to make and easy too! And in some cases — say, you’re entertaining on your patio — your guests will be in awe that you went to such trouble to make fun food for them . . . like homemade egg rolls or sausage wonton cups. But really they are super easy and fun to make. We’ll just keep that our little secret and let you take-in the compliments your guests want to shower you with for the seemingly hard work you put in all for their pleasure (wink).
So whether you are cooking just for you, just for your family, or for a whole group of your friends, cook inside or on the grill deck, but for heaven sake, eat it outside in your outdoor living space. Eat outside for breakfast. Eat outside for lunch. Eat outside for dinner. Have dessert on the patio under the stars. And bid the day “Adieu” with a nightcap cocktail (“adieu” is French for “goodbye”).
And remember, every day is Friday on the patio. So, let’s eat some fun patio food!
