The Fourth of July, like many American holidays revolves mainly around food. Well, and quality time with friends and family but let’s be honest, it’s really about the food. So heres a little something to ponder while diving into your second, second helping: What makes American food so great?

Is it the gobs of butter we like to add to just about everything? Is it that we push boundaries with mile high deli sandwiches? Perhaps it’s our bold attempt to create the hottest of all hot sauces?
