Nothing special for Labor Day, hot dogs or BBQ for July 4. When I lived briefly in Milwaukee, I tried what the locals love, bratwurst, but I wasn’t crazy about it. But I also discovered Chicago-style hotdogs, which I love.

Independence Day…waffles, marshmallows, apple pie & beer.
Your typical American breakfast ~

Labor day is usually opening weekend of dove season, so dove breasts wrapped in bacon on the grill, with a sliver of jalepeno pepper or garlic inside the bacon.

July 4 is usually walleye or catfish on the grill.

Both with cole slaw, macaroni salad and whatever else I feel like fixing.

@Seek_Kolinahr answered for me, word for word but for the ending…“watermelon, natch.”

Steamed crabs ,barbecued chicken and hamburgers and hotdogs on the grill. sugar baby watermelons and silver queen corn on the cob.

@Dutchess_III, hurts ‘cause you want one or hate ‘em?

Hot Dogs, Salad, Pickles, Lemonade, homemade ice-cream.

Ug @Pachyderm_In_The_Room! I do not want one!

I’ll go for one, @Pachyderm_In_The_Room. Just leave off the ‘dog’ part. It’s meat and superfluous. lol

@ibstubro What is your favorite fake hot dog brand? I’ve tried a few and they were fine, but nothing to write home about. I’ve eaten some great fake bacon and sausage items, though.

I don’t eat a lot of fake meat. I’ve not found a great not dog, either. I like the Morningstar mini corndogs, but that’s because I believe there are just a vehicle for eating ketchup. lol I love Morningstar sausage patties and that’s about the only thing I eat on a fairly regular (less than once a month) basis.

@ibstubro I like most of the Morningstar Farms products, but don’t eat them very often.

Smart Bacon by Lightlife is very good too.

I’ll try the Smart Bacon for BLT’s sometime. ^

It would make me very nervous to use something called “smart bacon.”

Oh, it’s just facon.
