DAYTON EATS: BBQ options to get you in the mood for summer, July 4th celebrations
The Fourth of July is the most popular day of the year for home cooks firing up the grill.
Summer and barbecues go hand in hand and the statistics bear that out. The National Retail Federation reports 87 percent of consumers plan to celebrate the holiday in 2023 and spend an average of $93.34 on food items. When asked how they would be celebrating the top answer far and wide was a cookout. It is estimated that 150 million hot dogs will be consumed to put the party in perspective.
For America’s 248th birthday party good food is a must. If you don’t have the time, interest or bandwidth to plan the menu there are spots that make it easy to order out and look brilliant when the guests walk through the door.

Fate has a way of intervening in life. And it often changes everything.
Kennan Woods thought his fate was set while growing up in Dayton with his mother. Both parents had successful careers – his mother worked for the U.S. Postal Service and eventually moved into human resources with another state job. His father, who was actively involved in his life, pursued a higher education and became a physical therapist.
“I watched my dad pursue higher education and I wanted to go to college,” Woods said.
