The Johnsonville BIG TASTE GRILL is coming to Winston-Salem!
Johnsonville Sausage, the #1 sausage brand in America, is delivering the great taste of Johnsonville bratwurst to the below listed events with the help of the Johnsonville Big Taste Grill™ —the world’s largest touring grill. Proceeds from donations and sales at the grill’s appearances will benefit the Charities listed.
The Johnsonville Big Taste Grill™ is no ordinary backyard barbecue. Weighing more than 53,000 pounds and measuring 65 feet long, this giant grill requires its own semi-truck to haul it from one location to another. It is equipped with hot and cold running water, a prep station, and a refrigeration unit. The grill has the capacity to cook more than 750 brats at a time — approximately 2,500 per hour — and can accommodate more than 12 “grillmasters.”
Proceeds from sales at the grill benefit local charities and other non-profit organizations. To date, the Big Taste Grill™ has raised well over 2 million dollars for charities across the United States and Canada.
