This week on Grits and a Brit, it’s all about big celebrations, bigger plates of food, and fireworks that may or may not have been purchased from a questionable roadside stand. Chris and Jay dive into a July 4th special marking 250 years of the United States, unpacking what it really means to celebrate in full American style. Also, maybe a wedding was celebrated as well this weekend?
Expect talk of backyard cookouts where everything is grilled, smoked, or deep-fried, patriotic desserts that look better than they taste, and the annual tradition of saying “we’ll just have a small gathering” before accidentally hosting half the neighborhood. Of course, no July 4th would be complete without fireworks—some breathtaking, some mildly alarming, and at least one that makes everyone rethink safety instructions.
It’s fun, chaotic, and full of summer energy as the duo share stories, laughs, and plenty of food-fueled tangents in honor of Independence Day.
