Labor Day -- the most bittersweet of all national holidays. Sweet because the majority of folks have Monday off; bitter because it marks the end of the summer season.

Here at Slashfood, we want you to make the most of the long weekend for yourself and your tastebuds. AOL Food is lighting up the grill and savoring the last tastes of summer with tips on grilling steak and fish as well as a slew of tasty recipes including Steven Raichlen's Stuffed Hot Dogs and Grilled Peach Sundaes.

And as you cut open that watermelon, why not find other ways to enjoy the juicy summer staple?

So while Labor Day may mark the end of summer, it means stores are spending the weekend unfurling their Halloween decorations. We're sad to see summer go, but can't wait for the candy, turkey and eggnog!
