Get ready for a whirlwind tour of some of the most unique 4th of July traditions across the United States. Ever heard of Maine’s lobster races or San Diego’s marshmallow fights? We cover it all, including Alameda, California’s longest parade and why hosting a barbecue in Massachusetts might just break the bank. Food lovers, you won't want to miss our discussion on the rarity and expense of authentic Kobe beef. Plus, we sprinkle in some fun historical trivia about Betsy Ross, Paul Revere, and even share our own plans for the holiday.
