Let those troubles stay in the past. We’re here to share some ideas that will give mom a moment she won’t forget.
Before we get underway, we get this may be a lot to remember. So, to help you out, we’ve split our ideas into three easy-to-remember categories: Smokin, Sizzlin’ and Sweet. Now, let’s open up the smoker and get started!
Smokin – Create a BBQ Bundle Full of Mom’s Favorites

Let Mom be the star, as she creates her own BBQ Bundle! The process begins on OrderSonnys.com, where you’ll put in your information. This includes whether you want to pick up your feast, or have it delivered right to your door!

Then, give Mom the reigns.
Have her select her favorite meats like our savory Pulled Pork and our delicious Sweet & Smokey Ribs. Then, it’s time to pick the sidekicks! The possibilities are plentiful, from our crisp and refreshing homemade Coleslaw to our always comforting Mac & Cheese. Finally, have her choose her bread option, either golden Cornbread or crispy Garlic Bread.
And you’re done! A feast full of Mom’s favorites will be on its way.
But what if you’re lookin’ to creating something sizzlin’ at home?
