Dan’s GrillHampton is nearly upon us, and the menu is looking as intense as the competition. The chefs from Team Hamptons and Team NYC have put together a variety of delectable grilled goodies and side dishes that are destined to make mouths water.

From smoked meats to grilled seafood to summer salads, this menu has something for everyone. There are even some adventurous dishes like white chocolate truffle risotto by Chef Erick Jones of Rooted Hospitality Group or lobster salad on squid ink brioche buns by Chef Drew Hiatt of Topping Rose House.

Take a look at this enticing mix of East End and Manhattan cuisine, and try to justify not snagging a ticket to this one-of-a-kind cooking competition and tasting event. We dare you.
