Signs of summer in the Best of Hot Dish: June 6-10, 2011

Here comes the sun...

​We've been waiting patiently until winter subsided, and wow, did we get rewarded with some serious heat (102 degrees!). This week's Hot Dish followed suit, giving the people a lot of summery news, event details, and crucial information for the upcoming dog days.

Here's a rundown of the signs of summer as they appeared here this week

• Calling all Kobayashis, come stuff your face at the Depot. It's not the boardwalk, but the Diamond Dog eating contest definitely means that things are heating up.
  
• Copper River Salmon info and a recipe from Oceanaire: The season for these tasty fish is short and all about summer.
• Top 5 Under-the-Radar Patios: Al Fresco time is here! And we love you suburbanites too.
• Rachel compiles some great summer coolers at local restos for your hot weather pleasure.
• And finally, here's info on the proposed patio ordinance, so you can keep up-to-date on this burning summer issue.
  

Have a great weekend getting your eat and cool drink on! See you back here on Monday.
