Grilled hot dogs are a no brainer, and potentially the easiest thing to get a char and foodgasm out of for 4th of July festivities. Juicy, glazed and meaty without leaving you feeling like you want to take a nap, this one’s typically stuffed between a bun with a generous squirt of mustard, mayo or ketchup, before being devoured three to four clean bits – a crowd pleaser for a reason! The same goes for classic smashed burgers. A deeply browned meat patty, smashed down on the grill to get its edges crusty while keeping the centre juicy, layered with lettuce, fresh onions and topped off with a salty slice of cheese – nothing could possibly taste better with some cold beer on the side.
