The Classic July 4th Barbecue
Stick with Tradition and Make Everyone Happy
Independence, stars and stripes, fireworks, and blueberry pie - that’s what July 4th is all about. It’s a day full of tradition that falls in the middle of the lazy days of summer. As hot as the weather may be, there’s no need to sweat the menu. Go with America’s traditional barbecue favorites, and everyone will be happy.
If you’re not sure what to serve at a classic barbecue, just ask a kid and they will tell you- corn on the cob, hamburgers, hot dogs, potato salad, ribs and something chocolate for dessert. You might add some chips and dip for starters, something green and a fruit dessert to take advantage of the season’s best produce. Beyond that, serve plenty of cold beverages to beat summer’s heat.
Finally, pull out your red, white and blue table accessories, and flags for decorations.
Then, sit back, and savor America’s freedoms and the simplicity of time-honored traditions.
