Celebrate the Fourth of July with Americana in Melbourne
Spend July 4 surrounded by slow-cooked meats from the heart of Dixie, lobster rolls sent from New England, and bastardised tacos straight from SoCal.
It's American Independence Day. Raise a doughnut to their greatest exports. Given the American food craze that swept through Melbourne shows no sign of slowing, it's easy to spend your July 4 surrounded by slow-cooked meats from the heart of Dixie, lobster rolls sent from New England, and bastardised tacos straight from SoCal. Hip hip hooray.
