This warm weather has us thinking about summer…

So we thought we’d invite the Summerhouse to the DelmarvaLife kitchen for our Facebook Live Show! The Summerhose is opened year-round in Rehoboth Beach, Del.

Chef Marcus White joins us in the kitchen to make pan seared New Jersey Sea Scallops with mushroom risotto and a sweet pea lobster cream sauce.

We also learn about the weekly specials taking place at the Summerhouse such as taco night on Tuesdays, lobster night on Thursdays and brunch on Sundays. You can check out the weekly specials here.

To stay up-to-date with all the exciting things happening at the Summerhouse, check out their Facebook here.
