Hello, loyal Hot Dish readers. It has been a week full of dreamy things like grilling, root beer floats, outdoor festivals, and clear blue skies. And don't you wish every weekend could be three days long? While you ponder that thought, here are a few of the week's top stories that you might have missed:

~Do you ever wander up and down the wine aisles and feel like a dumbass because you don't know what to pick? Let John Glas walk you through 5 Recommendations at the Surdyk's Wine Sale, one of the best sales of the year.

~Check out this week's Food Fight, as we present Battle of the Root Beer Floats, with several favorite ice cream spots, including Izzy's and Sebastian Joe's, going head to head for top honors.

~It is going to be one Grand Old Day this Sunday in St. Paul, and we want to make sure you know where all the best food is.

~Are your grill skills not quite up to par? Let chef Nick Schneider, the creative force behind the Tavola Fresca backyard dinner series, help with his grilling tips.

~And don't forget that today is National Donut Day!

Ciao, bellas!
