Skip the Grill: Fourth of July Burger Bundles in Bellflower

Every Fourth of July, a lot of Bellflower is standing over a hot grill while the rest of the party waits. There is another way to run a cookout: let Omega Burgers at 16310 Bellflower Blvd cook the burgers and hand you the whole meal in boxes. This guide explains the two ways Omega packages food for groups, how to choose between them and how to plan the day. The same approach works for any backyard party, team event or family gathering.

Two kinds of group order

Omega sells group food in two places, and they are sized differently.

Omega Packs on the order page are sized for households and small groups. The Omega Pack family bundles list hamburger and cheeseburger packs of 4, 6, 8 and 10, each served with fries and drinks. The description for a pack of four cheeseburgers, for example, is 4 cheeseburgers with 4 french fries and 4 drinks. You order them on Omega's order page for pickup or delivery.

Family Bundle packages on ezCater are sized for events. Omega's ezCater menu lists hamburger and cheeseburger packages of 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100, each described as combos with sides and drinks. ezCater labels the 20 Cheeseburger Package as most ordered. Because the hamburger and cheeseburger versions are listed separately, a mixed group can add one of each to the same order. See the catering page for the link.

What is in the burgers

The burgers in these packs come from the same menu as everything else at Omega. The order page describes a quarter-pound charbroiled patty with homemade 1000 Island dressing, onions, shredded lettuce and tomato. A combo is described as served with your choice of small fries or a regular salad and a medium soft drink. The packs take that single-order build and multiply it, so the food is the same one you would order at the counter.

Rounding out the table

A burger package covers the main course, but most Fourth of July tables want more. From the regular menu you can add:

• Fries and fried sides: plain fries, chili cheese fries to share, Homemade Onion Rings and zucchini. See sides and sauces.
• Drinks: the soft drink list on the order page includes Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Root Beer, Dr. Pepper, Pink Lemonade, Strawberry Lemonade, Horchata and Jamaica, along with iced tea and bottled water.
• Dessert: shakes, plus an ice cream cone, a cup of ice cream and an ice cream sundae from the dessert menu.

Planning the day

A few practical points make a large holiday order smoother.

• Choose pickup or delivery early. On ezCater, delivery is by the restaurant's own driver. Pickup is also listed.
• Check lead time and minimums on ezCater. The ezCater page shows the current lead time, order minimum and delivery terms for your date, which is more reliable than any number printed here.
• Order utensils separately if you need them. ezCater sells utensils for a group as a separate item.
• Think about the heat. A Southern California July afternoon affects how long food holds once it is out of the box. If your party runs long, consider two pickup times, one for the early meal and one closer to evening.
• Count heads honestly. It is easier to round a package size up than to run short on a holiday.
• Confirm holiday hours. Standard hours are Sunday through Thursday 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Call (562) 920-1714 to check for holiday changes.

Smaller than a package?

If your group is under about ten people, skip the packages and order combos. The Burger Combos section covers the Hamburger, Cheeseburger, Bacon Cheeseburger, Colossal Pastrami and more, each with fries or a salad and a drink.
