Up there with Christmas and Thanksgiving, 4th of July affords a wonderful opportunity to gather with friends and family and enjoy some delicious dishes.

As Independence Day falls in the middle of summer, the holiday is usually celebrated with barbecues and cocktails while watching the annual fireworks displays.

A study conducted by food delivery service, DoorDash, has revealed Americans’ top treats to pig out on July 4th, and the results are as quintessential as the red Solo cup.

Cheeseburgers

Ask almost any US citizen and they’ll tell you that a burger ain’t really complete unless it’s dripping with melted cheese. Many also feel that bacon makes it even better.

Do you like big buns and you cannot lie? • 📍 @fivepointsburgers • 🍔 Double Bronx • double grilled beef pattie (one added) • double cheese • bacon • onion jam • tomato sauce • pickles • American mustard • aioli • iceberg lettuce (removed) • 💰 $14.50+3 = $17.50 • ✏️ First time ever trying this North Sydney office worker staple. I opted for a Bronx, which is decent value for what it includes. Let’s just get the obvious out of the way – the hun was huge and even as a double it was way too big and bready. It was also a little chewy, which wasn’t pleasant. Removing one half of it did wonders and allowed me to actually taste the important stuff. The beef had a decent crust but was a tad over: a shame as they advertise as doing pink in the middle. The cheese melt was absolute perfection, the onion jam tasty and the bacon was pretty well cooked. The sauces were pretty standard but are always a good flavour combo while a few more pickles would’ve helped with that acid cut. Overall, a decent American style burg – it just needs a pillowy soft milk/potato bun to play the supporting, not the lead, role! • #BURGOISSEUR

French Fries

Despite the European country in the name, French fries are typically American. Whether you prefer them thick or thin, straight or crinkle-cut, fewer things are better than a good fry.

Hot Dogs

Often associated with baseball games, hot dogs are undeniably one of America’s favorite foods. Go classic with ketchup and mustard, or mix it up by adding relish, fried onions, and even melted cheese.
