We’re smack dab in the midst of graduation season and there’s no finer way to celebrate that special someone’s achievement than with the Graduation Family Meal Deal Pack ($299.99) from Big City Diner.

After they don their caps and gowns, treat those deserving grads to this generous feast, which serves 12-15 people. A 48-hour advance notice is required when ordering.

The pack starts with Spicy-Garlic Soybeans, which are seasoned with Hawaiian rock-salt spice. It also has Steamed White Rice with a furikake sprinkle.

Next, chow down on some Local-Style Fried Min Noodles, with char siu, fresh veggies and local eggs.

Spicy Guava-BBQ Chicken Wings are another highlight, and meat-lovers can indulge in the Homemade Hamburger Steak with caramelized onions.
