We couldn't agree more, and neither could you. Shine readers chose this entry as the best embodiment of the First Bite of Summer in June's Supper Club. Now, please pass the ice cream.

    Curious about the Supper Club? Check back at noon PST on July 2 to learn the new theme and join us in our next eating adventure. Word has it there'll be a prize!

    Thanks to everyone who participated, and congrats to FiguerasPhoto!
