July 4th is often seen as a holiday for home-cooked meals: backyard barbecues, park grills, beach buffets, and potlucks are the norm. However, if you’d rather not worry about keeping potato salad fresh in the sun, many chain restaurants nationwide are offering great deals. Here’s what you can buy instead of cooking this Fourth of July.
