Foodie Website Says Skip Bringing This To An Idaho July 4th BBQ

July 4 is almost here! Most of us will be hosting or attending some sort of gathering to celebrate Independence Day this weekend. What you bring to the party in the way of food could make you the punchline of jokes to come for many years.

My contribution to holiday potlucks is my eight-layer dip. Yeah, you read that right, EIGHT layers. I decided a long time ago that I was going to raise the bar for those who bring traditional multi-layered chip dips to these gatherings. I can't give out my recipe, so I apologize to those who are curious about what that final, all-important layer is.

I will say it is green, and some people would need to take an acid reducer before consuming this final layer of my creation.

A Foodie Website Warns Americans Not To Bring This Item To July 4 Potlucks

I know a lot of people don't care for coleslaw, but I happened to like it. It's a side dish that one rarely sees at a holiday gathering. Coleslaw isn't the worst thing a person can take to a Fourth of July party, by the way, according to one website that focuses on food.

It turns out, macaroni salad is a terrible choice to bring to a holiday potluck such as a July 4th barbecue, according to Organic Authority.

'This dish isn’t doing it for anybody,' says the writer of the column. The author trashes the dish due to its high fat content and processed ingredients (refined flour pasta), and the fact that mayonnaise shouldn't sit too long outdoors because it goes bad faster than most other foods.

There isn't a date set yet for the grand opening, but what do you think about the new restaurant? Will you go as soon as they open or give it a little time to calm down?
