BroBible’s Ultimate 4th of July Grocery List
by Chef Evan | July 2, 2009 - 6:14am | 0 comments - 5 readsSides: Where to get it? Grocery store or, better yet, ask your friends to bring them. What to get? Cole slaw, potato salad, baked beans. You can save some scrilla by asking your buddies to help out with the cost of the party by asking them to bring some side items. Slaw, potato salad, and beans are all classic sides that are easy to find and delicious. If you choose to buy these yourself I would suggest a German potato salad (less mayonnaise-y with a bacon-fat/vinegar based sauce) and some spicy barbecue baked beans. Fixin's: Where to get it? A farmer's market would be great, but a grocery would do, too. What to get? Lettuce, tomato, onion, at least two kinds of cheeses, buns. Beefsteak or heirloom tomatoes have sweet and tangy flavors and are in season right now so they shouldn't be hard to find. Just go with a general iceberg for your burgers, no wimpy arugula here. For burgers, I like red onions or Vidalia onions. The red onions have a nice bite and a great color while the Georgia Vidalia's are super sweet. I go with a cheddar or a swiss on my burgers, but American is welcome too. Go with a soft egg bun or Kaiser roll, sesame seeds or not is up to you.
