Orale! Fourth Of July Weekend! Um, What’s Your Gastronomical Take On The Fourth: Hot Dogs, Carne Asada, Lomo Salteado, Milaneza’s, etc?

Our homies in Los Angeles emailed us yesterday asking what we were doing for the fourth in Mexico City. I promptly replied that I would run down Insurgentes Sur wearing a lucha libre mask in the red, white and blue, then light some Roman Candles off of my balcony. I’d probably be drinking some Victoria, cooking up some Farmer John’s on the outside grill and digging into some homemade guacamole. The homies replied and stated they’d be grubbing on some carne asada, burgers, Tecates and, yes, lighting Roman Candles as well. I laughed. But, remarkably observant as I am, I thought “What do other vatos do for the Fourth?” Do you play any soccer? Baseball? Do you make a trek to Pahrump, Nevada to buy $400 dollars worth of illegal fireworks or do you hit up Don Alberto in Azusa to get some sparklers for the kids? Is there Quilmes or Sam Adams at your party? It’s strictly curiosity that’s driving this so let us know in the comments.
