Before August ends, don’t miss out on what SoDel Concepts is dishing out at their restaurants, thanks to produce from local farmers. All month long the hospitality group’s 11 restaurants have been showcasing fruits and vegetables from area farms through special dishes.

“In coastal Sussex County, Delaware, summer is a great time to be a chef,” said Doug Ruley, vice president of culinary operations in a news release. “Our mission is to present ‘beautiful, simple food,’ so that the natural flavors shine. This month, we’re highlighting some of the best that our farmers have to offer.”
