Celebrate New and Old at Honeybaked Ham

Next Saturday, August 6, the Toluca Lake will host a summer celebration of its new menu items.

In addition to tasting the store’s signature ham and turkey dishes and sampling new surprise menu items, guests will be able to enjoy the sounds of Sizzel, a three-man a cappella group, and meet Motown legend Cornelius Grant.

Our neighborhood branch of the famous ham outlet has been open in Toluca Lake for over 30 years.

Honeybaked was founded in 1957 by Harry Hoenselaar who invented the store’s signature spiral slicer. Incorporated in 1974 with over 400 retail stores nationwide, Honeybaked is based in Atlanta and remains family owned and privately run.

Their signature product is a fully-cooked spiral-sliced glazed ham which ranges in weight. The store also offers smoked and roast turkeys, barbeque pork roast, baby back ribs, 15 different sandwiches and a variety of sides, desserts and salads.

The retail area features shelves full of soups, dressings, mustards, chutneys, cornbread and other assorted items as well as multi-item gift packs.

In the back of the store hams are hickory smoked, glazed and sliced fresh daily. They range in price form $30 for a quarter ham (feeds three to five people) up to $120 for a 16-pound whole ham (feeds 28 to 30 people).

If you have a hankering for a taste of ham but don’t need to purchase a whole one, just stop by the café for a high stacked sandwich at just $6.

The Toluca Lake Summer Event will take place Saturday, August 6 from 4 to 8 p.m.
