77 Hot Dogs and a Dream

Pizza On The Grill

America's turning 250, and Rapid City is going all out. Here's the rundown on the Real America Birthday Bash happening downtown, from the largest drone show ever assembled with 500 drones lighting up the sky to fireworks coming back to Mount Rushmore. Then the grill takes over. An article claims there are seven foods you should never cook on a grill, and the idea that nobody grills pizza sets off a full-on debate. There's also "funflation," the trend where a good time comes with a giant price tag. One family dropped close to $10,000 chasing the World Cup across the country, credit cards and all. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
