Whether you're in town, at the lake cabin or family farm, the 4th of July is all about fireworks and food!
We only have a few more hours in the office before the holiday commences... here's the grub those around our office are most excited to dine on this holiday:
"I'm excited to head to our cabin and fodue with my family! Besides the 4th, it's my birthday this weekend and my mom's making fruit pizza - my favorite." Mandy
"I'm excited to relax at home and grill T-Bone steaks." Barbara
"I cannot wait for the corn on the cob!" Kristina
"We invite all of our friends and family over for a pig roast." Carrie
"I'm a bit of a picky eater... I enjoy the cheese spread, popsicles and ice cream most." Alex
"We're all about grilling in the backyard and just enjoying the outdoors. I'm really looking forward to my grilled vegetables: asparagus, carrots, potatoes and corn on the cob." Jay
"I cannot wait to have my mom's homemade Angel Food Cake with real whip cream and fresh strawberries." Jessica
"My kids can't wait to get their hands on the mini doughnuts at the local carnival!" John
Happy 4th of July from Manhattan Toy!
