Fourth of July

Independence day is a wonderful summer holiday. There's no better way to enjoy the warm sunny day and watch fireworks at night than surrounded by family and friends while eating some delicious food. After all, it isn't a 4th of July party without food, so fire up the grill, put on your red, white, and blue, and get ready for a great time!


One of the more popular choices for a cookout are burgers and hot dogs. Mackenzie and Chesapeake Bay both offer the Dry Aged Burgers. We describe these burgers as "steaks on a bun" because they're made from choice cuts of dry-aged beef. In fact, one customer called them "the best burgers money can buy" in his product review.  For a burger with a twist, we recommend the Stuffed Burgers from Mackenzie. They come in five flavors: bacon cheddar, lamb, steakhouse, Asian, and Black & Blue. Now comes the hard part- picking out what flavor you want!

For desserts, in addition to refreshing frozen treats like ice cream, it's important to have other types of sweets as well. Chesapeake's Pear Raspberry Tart screams Fourth of July with its star cut-outs. Another summery choice is the Berry Tiramisu from Mackenzie. It's filled with raspberries and blueberries, making it a colorfully festive cake for Independence Day.
