We hope you’re celebrating this ‘Merica-filled holiday with a tradition as old as, well, the United States: barbecues. If burgers and hot dogs are on your agenda, you’re in splendid company: Stars like getting their grill on just like us earthlings.

From classic cookouts to yummy road vendors, Niall Horan, Lady Gaga and even Head Barack Obama have been trapped indulging in a little backyard grub. And while some celebrities hide behind their movies and composition videos to delight in some grilled goodies (ahem, Zac Efron and Will Smith), we know their like for barbecue is real. Very real.

Take a sizzling stroll through our gallery and rest assured that even Victoria’s Bolt from the blue Angels can’t resist a little chicken on the barbie (we knew you were our favorite, Alessandra Ambrosio.)
