Memorial Day Weekend has arrived, and with it, the unofficial start of summer.

This year, though, I am savoring spring for as long as I possibly can, given time seems to be flying by a bit too fast (just me?).

Regardless, with warmer weather, graduation season, and summer produce rolling in, it’s only human to romanticize the season. This menu is here to scratch that itch.

PSA: For the best Restaurant Dropout experience, I recommend using a desktop browser.
Avocado Fried Rice, Marinated Shrimp Skewers, Yakisoba (Japanese Stir-Fried Noodles)

Not feelin’ this menu? No offense taken.

Create your own menu with access to hundreds of individual recipes (sauces, marinades, breads, grains, meats, etc.), or choose a previous menu from Restaurant Dropout’s library of 100+ weekly dinner menus:
