This Fourth of July, we remember the men and women who continue to defend America’s independence. But it’s not just men and women who are fighting over seas keeping us safe. Pet Valu is making a special effort to support the United States War Dogs Association. Serving side-by-side with the armed forces, these highly trained dogs support and help our soldiers complete their missions.

Stop by your local Pet Valu store and either purchase a bandana for $5 or a Paw Print for the donation amount of your choice. 100 % of your proceeds will be donated to the U.S. War Dogs.

The United States War Dogs Association, Inc. is a nonprofit organization of Former and Current US Military Dog Handlers and supporting members committed to promoting the long history of the Military Service Dogs, establishing permanent War Dog Memorials, and educating the public about the invaluable service of these canines to our country.

Grilling Fruit for FOX29

If you missed Chef Patrick Feury of Nectar Restaurant this morning on Fox29, here are some tips for grilling this summer from the chef himself. Patrick made a delicious fruit salsa with grilled mango, pineapple, and papaya.

Start with fresh, ripe fruit, drizzle it with a little olive oil and throw it on the grill just long enough to leave grill marks. The smoky flavor of the grill complements the sweet taste of the fruit for a perfect summer time treat. But even better, Patrick diced the grilled fruit, threw in some grilled onions, cilantro jalapenos, Thai basil and mint for a fresh and savory salsa. Keep it healthy and grill up some papadum (a thin, crisp Indian chic pea tortilla) for chips and woolah, a colorful and mouthwatering spread that’s also healthy – perfect for lunch or a summertime picnic.

Shake Shack, the Corn Dog, and the No. 3

Memorial Day Weekend, Independence Day, and Labor day…three times a year…that’s all.

Those are the only times during the calendar year in which the old fashioned hot dog stand turned popular and fast growing food chain known as Shake Shack serves one of its most talked about menu items: the Shack Corn Dog. More specifically, it is a Vienna hot dog dipped in a special Shake Shack corn batter and served with Rick’s Picks sweet corn relish.

This corn dog has received a ton of national praise, and apparently for good reason. Recently, it was even featured on Food Network’s “Best Thing I Ever Ate” show, during an episode specific to delicacies on a stick.

Now, we don’t know about you, but maybe what adds to the aura of amazing when it comes to this corn dog is that it is only on the menu three times a year. Maybe Shake Shack feels as though its corn dog is a gift from the gods, so they present it to the public three times a year — three being an operative theme in religion.

Maybe Shake Shack feels that Babe Ruth, who most believe to be the greatest baseball player in history, deserves to be honored three times a year — he wore the No. 3 — so they pay homage to him with baseball’s original ballpark treat: the corn dog.

No matter what you believe the reason to be, one thing is certain: we will be eating one of those Corn Dogs as we watch the fireworks on July 3rd, 4th, and 5th.

Will you?
