Happy National Eat Outside Day!

Well, here's one day where it's obvious why it was placed in the summer. Though I think the more adventurous foodies would welcome the chance to celebrate National Eat Outside Day on January 6.

So your assignment today is to eat outside at some point. Maybe you can have breakfast out on your deck or balcony, or maybe eat lunch at an outdoor cafe, or invite the neighbors over for one of the last cookouts of the year. Or if you're going to a baseball game, the "eat outside" part will take care of itself.

To push you in the right direction, here is our Spirit of Summer category, and here are some ideas from our Grilling category. And here are some links from Yahoo for eating alfresco around the world.
