Forbes Traveler Picks the 'Awesome' 4th Foods
Humorist Russell Baker once said in the New York Times, “the Fourth of July reminds me of hot dogs because for years I have felt an obligation to eat hot dogs on this holiday." Besides dogs, what do you think of as historically 4th foods? Forbes Traveler says the six-pound "Ye Olde 96er from Denny’s Beer Barrel Pub in Central Pennsylvania, red skin potato salad from Gus’s Barbecue in Pasadena, and they just can't deny the frank from Nathan's on Coney Island.

A writer named Phoebe Atwood Tailor wrote a series of mystery books about Asey Mayo, the "Cape Cod Private Detective" in the 30's and 40's. They weren't much as mysteries but they were very humorous and very informative about American culture of the times. In one book Asey goes to a July 4th party "on the Cape" where roast duckling and new peas are served. That seems very seasonal, but only a paid cook would stand over a hot stove in an un-air-conditioned kitchen on the 4th of July!
