Summer yum

From beer and wine to great places to eat al fresco in Philly (keep our guide handy in the car for reference), we’re off to a tasty start with the June/July issue.

We offer a few great ice cream places to get a scoop or some other sweet
stuff on a hot night. You can sip by your backyard pool (safety first, people!) with signature drink recipes courtesy of The Pool After Dark at Harrah’s (Harrahcane or Blue Lagoon, anyone?). We learn that Chef Mark Smith, the talent in the kitchen at both the Tortilla Press in Collingswood and Tortilla Press Cantina in Merchantville, talks to his dogs (aww!) and can survive on guacamole (try his; it’s great.)

Lots happening in A.C. this summer too: Read about Jose Garces (the 2009 winner of the Food Network’s “Next Iron Chef”) and his three eateries at the hot new resort Revel: Amada, Village Whiskey and Distrito Cantina (ole!)

And of course we have a new DINNER ON US contest. Submit your email to jerseyeatsmagazine.com to be included in the random drawing on July 15.

We’re full. See ya next issue,
