I moved from that area two years ago after living there my whole life, and the restaurants in Rehoboth and Lewes are the only thing I miss from Delaware. There are some superb places, from Casapulla's for subs and Dogfish Head for beer and beer food and Thrasher's for french fries, to the upscale restaurants like Ristorante Zebra (is it still there?), the Back Porch Cafe, LaLa Land, 1776, and the Cultured Pearl (what I think was one of the best sushi restaurants in the country). I don't know Patsy's; is it new? SWoody, do you mean the Rose and CROWN? In Lewes I also used to enjoy Second Street Grill and Gilligan's especially for lunch. Also FYI, not gourmet or upscale, but really tasty, Big Fish Grill had well prepared seafood. Please keep us posted on your explorations and favorites.

What a yummy subject. I grew up on Delmarva's blue crabs, soft shell and hard. I also love king crab, and discovered stone crab claws when I moved to Florida, especially Joe's Stone Crab. I have never eaten Dungeness! Are the ones you buy frozen any good? Those are the only I have seen.

It was fun seeing you all again two weeks ago, and nice to meet you, Malarkey. Last week it was not in my best interest to stay up that late
because I ran in a race early Saturday morning. Any special plans or special beers on tap soon? -
Yes, I did. Thanks.

What are some foods you like to eat with Beaujolais Nouveau?
Tonight we had pan-roasted chicken with it. In the past, we have enjoyed David Rosengarten's Oeufs en Meurette, sausages, and other pork or poultry dishes. I always appreciate any recipes you would like to share. Thanks.

Who else went to a Beaujolais Nouveau tasting tonight, and if you did, where was it, what did you taste, and what did you think?
I went to a tasting at a local food specialty and wine shop, and they were giving tastings of four, Georges Duboeuf, Michel Picard, Momessin, and Joseph Drouhin. The Drouhin was my favorite, and Momessin was my least favored. I think the Duboeuf and Picard are both good this year. Good for Beaujolais Nouveau, of course... It should go without saying that this is all relatively speaking. One doesn't expect Beaujolais Nouveau to be some of the finest wines ever, so it's not necessary to give all the disclaimers before praising it. Did I just do exactly that? LOL! I think Beaujolais Nouveau and these few weeks of drinking it are really fun.
I'm looking forward to your comments.

Too funny... I love it!
I am new here and will take this opportunity to say how much I like eGullet.com and thank my good friend, the very talented Richard Pawlak, for telling me about it.
You have a true appreciation of good food and drink, and the humor is great. Lots of good writers, too!
Mark, Citronelle is one of the restaurants I always wanted to try but didn't get to when I lived up north. If I ever make a trip up, I will dine there. It's nice to "meet" you.

Once we almost enjoyed a dinner at Charlie Trotter's. What we ate was delicious, but into the second or third course, we both became ill. My friend Richard Pawlak said, "oh no, you got the trots at Charlie Trotter's?!" They were very kind and as Adam described it, when I needed the bathroom [to be sick], the waiter offered, "If the lady would follow me." They did not charge us, and next time we're in Chicago, we will go back.
I, too, enjoyed reading your account of the dining experience, Adam. Thanks!

Thanks for the links! The Gazette's online restaurant guide is cool! I'll be taking a look at that. I subscribed to that weekly paper for years primarily for the restaurant and entertainment ads and reviews (and also to find out the news of the Cape school district where I was employed). Who knows, maybe I will be willing to fly up north for a visit afterall. I guess Jazz Fest is over... Please let me know of any other good events.
I was reminded of some Delaware food I miss last night when the clams we bought for our scaled-down version of a seafood feast were so small, we considered ourselves commiting infanticide. Up there, Copps' top necks are perfect.
