Chances he wears that OD shirt? Or is that saved only for non-professional events?

It’s Summertime, and after that longer than reasonable, soul crushing winter we went through, we all deserve a little sunshine, barbecue, and a few lawn games. For free. With Jason Kelce. Yup, we’ve earned it. Fortunately, this is a real thing because Jason Kelce is a goddamned man of the people.

This Friday from 11:30am to 1:30pm, Kelce is teaming up with Dietz & Watson at Rittenhouse Square Park where he will grill up some hot dogs and sausages, for free, and then “fans will have a chance to interact with Kelce by playing cornhole or posing for a photo with him.”

So, to lay that all out again, in case you got so giddy you fainted: If you make the trek over to Rittenhouse on Friday, Jason Kelce will cook you hot dogs and play cornhole with you, just like he’s your real friend, just like you’ve always dreamed, and just like I … uh … I mean, you wrote in your journal.

Full press release after the jump.

PHILADELPHIA (June 9, 2014) – After one of the longest winters in city history, summer is officially underway in Philly. To celebrate, Dietz & Watson will be doing what it does best – feeding its friends and neighbors. The fourth generation family-owned and operated company, based in Philadelphia’s Tacony section, will be grilling and serving up delicious premium franks & sausages free of charge in the city’s beautiful Rittenhouse Square Park on Friday, June 13th from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm.

Joining Dietz & Watson will be a very special guest from the Philadelphia Eagles, a longtime partner of the premium deli meat and artisan cheese company. Jason Kelce, the team’s gregarious, bearded center will show some love to his adopted hometown by posing for photos with fans and playing a few rounds of beanbag toss between his shifts working the grill.

“With the football season still a few months away, I wanted to get out in the city and hang with our incredible fans,” said Kelce. “So I teamed up with the family at Dietz & Watson to kick off summer in the best possible way – with one big cookout.”

Dietz & Watson will be grilling up its famous Deli Beef Franks, along with its new line of delicious all-natural chicken sausages. Attendees can also garnish their lunches with the company’s full line of premium mustards, ranging from zesty Honey Mustard to spicy Chipotle.

“Dietz & Watson is a family company and we consider our hometown part of that family,” said Louis Eni, CEO of Dietz & Watson. “Together with Jason Kelce and the Philadelphia Eagles, we’re kicking off summer in style – with a good old fashioned family cookout. We can’t wait.”
