How Much for a Rib?

It’s summer. Time for barbecue.

Memorial Day weekend already? As busy as life keeps us, it’s easy to forget to plan the holiday party. If you’re in a pinch, skip the burgers and dogs. Summer is time for barbecue. Haul the family out for some fun at a few of these favorites, or order to go.

J.B. Dawson’s Restaurant and Bar

Newark
We were mighty glad to see Dawson’s arrive at Christiana Mall from Pennsylvania a few months ago, because Dawson’s ribs rock. So do sides like baked spiced apples and delicious beans. jbdawsons.com

I Scream

One other beautiful thing about the unofficial start of summer: ice cream. To taste some of the best in the state, visit Woodside Farms Creamery (woodsidefarmcreamery.com), where Jersey cows grazed on alfalfa, clover, orchard grass and rye produce thick, rich milk that makes for delicious ice cream. It’s no wonder Woodside churns out custom flavors for so many local restaurants.

Downstate, Hopkins Farm Creamery (hopkinsfarmcreamery.com) in Lewes does the same. They sell so much ice cream, everything is often hours fresh. That also means some flavors change often. The cows are so close, you can touch them. So get moooving.
