After 98 years, the Burien Fourth of July Parade is still going strong! Gather around to take in the patriotic spectacle of marching bands, floats, and more. The parade starts at 3 p.m., so get your spot early! The Burien Parade remains one of the most popular Fourth of July parades this side of Seattle. The parade typically lasts two hours and, as always, is free to the public. Many local businesses keep their doors open on the Fourth, so you don’t have to worry about grabbing a bite after the parade. That is if you don’t have a barbecue to get to!

The Juicy Lucy is a burger with cheese hiding in the patty, and it is a staple in Minnesota. We think it should be a Fourth of July favorite nationwide.
INGREDIENTS:
•
2 lbs. ground chuck beef, 20% lean
•
8 slices melting cheese (like American, Swiss, Muenster, or cheddar)
•
16 small potato rolls, toasted
•
Salt and pepper, to taste
•
Your favorite burger accompaniments
DIRECTIONS:
1. Divide beef into 16 evenly sized balls. 2. Rip cheese into roughly equal pieces, creating 16 equal portions. 3. Using your index finger, create a small indentation in each ball. 4. Fill indention with cheese and pinch meat around to seal. Then gently form balls into 3/4-inch-thick patties. Season patties. 5. Meanwhile, heat a cast-iron skillet to medium-high. 6. Lightly coat skillet with oil and cook patties in batches. Brown one side undisturbed, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip and cook until desired doneness, about 3 minutes for medium. 7. Serve on toasted potato rolls with your favorite accompaniments.
