On Wednesday, June 20, at 5:30pm, celebrate the first day of summer with Jsix Restaurant at San Diego’s first SausageFest. In this exciting and outrageous cook-off, 13 of the city’s leading chefs will enter their favorite sausage recipes, from chorizo to bratwurst, and present them to the public for a winning vote. In addition, San Marcos’ Lost Abbey will release The Road to Helles, a classic straw-gold German lager. Tickets are $10 each. (619/531-8744, www.sdsausagefest.com)
