Guest Picks: Outdoor Eating Basics

When the weather draws us out to our backyards, parks and clubhouses to take advantage of its own grandeur, there are moments when we are reminded of the jokes Mother Nature likes to perform with.

However, there are little steps you can take to make sure fun and food is had by all. — Chris from Mele Cotte
