9 Fun Facts About The 4th of July

The 4th of July is coming next week. Many of you are probably getting the celebration started early over the weekend. The best thing that you can do for all of those holiday gatherings is to serve your guests the best BBQ in the Des Moines area. Another thing they may appreciate is learning about the 4th of July fun facts Wobbly Boots Roadhouse rounded up for you below.

1. The 4th of July is the most popular holiday for enjoying good ol' mouthwatering BBQ! It beats out both Memorial Day and Labor Day.
2. The most popular foods to serve on this patriotic holiday include burgers, chicken wings, chicken breasts, and hot dogs. (We serve all of those right here at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse, except for the hot dogs. Our sweet smoked Italian sausage is a much better substitute!)
3. Iowa is home to nearly 1/3 of the United States' hogs and pigs. That means there is a very good chance that any hot dogs or pork sausages eaten on the 4th of July came from our incredible state!
4. Independence Day is the celebration of the 13 American colonies legally separating from Great Britain. In reality, this officially happened on July 2, 1776. July 4 is the day that the document, the Declaration of Independence, was approved.
5. The Declaration was signed by 56 men from 13 colonies.
6. They didn't all actually sign it on the 4th of July. There has been debate about when the actual date was, or if all of the signatures happened on the same day.
7. Two U.S presidents signed the Declaration of Independence: John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.
8. Strangely, those same two U.S. presidents both died on the 4th of July, 1826, which was also the 50th anniversary of the Declaration.
9. Did you know... you can skip the tedious grilling this year and order some of our amazing, hickory-smoked BBQ to go for your family picnics and holiday gatherings this 4th of July!

3 Important Pieces of a 4th of July BBQ

This year the Fourth of July falls on a Saturday.  That pretty much means you've got the whole weekend to celebrate.  A very popular thing to do on a Summer holiday like this is to host a BBQ.  Over 74 million people will most likely be doing this for the 4th.  Well, this Clive Iowa BBQ restaurant knows a thing or two about that, so here are a few tips to make yours the best.

Main Course

The easiest things to toss on the grill are chicken breasts, burgers, bratwurst, and hot dogs.  A pretty interesting fact- about 150 million hot dogs are expected to be eaten on the 4th of July! The thing that will really set off your meat is a really great BBQ sauce, like our very own house-made special recipe sauce that you can buy by the bottle and take home with you.

Sides

If you feel like cooking, everyone loves to see potato salad, baked beans, and grilled corn on the cob. If you want easy, there's chips, watermelon, and fresh veggies.  If you want super-easy, give Wobbly Boots BBQ a call and pick up a few of our delicious side dishes to go. We've got the baked beans and potato salad, plus creamy cole slaw, green beans with bacon, cheesy corn with ham, and lots more.    

Drinks

The most important thing about drinks at a Summer BBQ is that they are cold.  Ice will be the most important thing on your shopping list.  If you are an alcohol drinker, you will probably have a cooler or two of beer near the tables too.  The Fourth of July is the biggest holiday for beer sales.

Backyard BBQ's are one of the simplest parties to throw together.  You just need the items above and some friends and family to enjoy them with.  If you want to make things easy on yourself, give Wobbly Boots Roadhouse a call.  We can cook up some mouth-watering food for you to pick up and serve, leaving you more time to just relax and enjoy the party.  Have a happy and safe Fourth of July Weekend.
