Greetings readers! A few items of note.
But first, let me encourage you to make a beautiful salad platter with summer’s bounty. Then, snap a photo and enter it into my Salad Platter Contest. The deadline is August 25. And remember—everyone who enters wins a free one-month paid subscription to this newsletter (giving you access to my archive of reviews and insights on the DSM dining scene). Plus, premium prizes will go to the top three winners. Find all details right here.
