Technically it's still a few weeks away, but NOW presents its hot summer guide this week to give readers a head start. At the time of this writing, the food stories are only showing up in the sidebar of the Food & Drink section, with last week's features in the main area, but if you search a bit you'll find pieces about Summerlicious, farmers markets, 25 summer restaurants, and Caplansky's expansion.
At Eye, the summer guide is "cool", but the only food coverage seems to be a quickie preview blurb of the Drinks Show taking place in a couple of weeks.
Barb Holland has rhubarb strawberry crumble at Metro, while Peter Rockwell takes a look at blended wines. There's also a weird little article with no byline about Conviction, Marc Thuet's restaurant, that is a scant 182 words and reads like a press release cobbled together with a puff piece review. In recipes, there's triple chocolate brownies, summertime salsa, and teriyaki lamb chops.
