I recently saw this map of states searching more for either hamburgers or hotdogs leading up to Independence Day. If you’re in the US, does it ring true for you? I always find these kind of maps fun.
Do you have any other go-to 4th of July foods? Growing up, I always enjoyed the usuals—hamburgers, hotdogs, corn-on-the-cob, watermelon, and ice-cream. The local firefighters also put on an incredible cookout with grilled chicken and corn-on-the-cob that was the best.

If you’re not from the US, I’d also be curious to know which foods you think of as most American.
