🌱 Southampton Daily: Strawberry Hepatitis A Outbreak + Dan’s Chefs

Hey, everybody! It's Thursday in Southampton. Diane Witek here with everything that's fit to print about what's happening locally. Keep scrolling for the scoop.

First, today's weather:

Times of clouds and sun. High: 72, low: 60.

Here are the top stories in Southampton today:

1. A hepatitis A outbreak has been linked to fresh organic strawberries sold at stores like Aldi, Walmart and Trader Joe's. The strawberries, under the brand FreshKampo and HEB, were sold between March 5 and April 25. If you froze strawberries and uncertain what brand they are, you should dispose of the berries immediately, regulators said. (Patch)
2. Join the event that is the perfect pairing of cuisine and culture: Dan’s Chefs of the Hamptons returns on June 24 to celebrate both the 10th anniversary of Dan’s Taste events and Guild Hall’s 90th anniversary. Tickets to this exquisite event are still on sale at DansTaste.com. (Dan's Papers)
3. This summer is brimming with "talented chefs, restaurateurs, sommeliers and other hospitality pros." The New York Post states that the Hamptons scene is going to be very promising this season. If you haven't made out you must-try list of eateries, now is the time. Enjoy! (New York Post)
