Destination? Dewey Beach, Delaware, Sunny Days, Blue Skies, Rusty Rudder Opens Season 2014….Chili Cookoff!!, Event, Free, For the Whole Family, Delaware Beaches, Southern Delaware
It was 1979 when the Rusty Rudder opened its doors. It was the place to go and be seen. Open air decks, plenty of music, food, and drinks….the summers came and went and the Rusty Rudder then became an institution. Guess what? It still is. The setting is beautiful.
Rusty Rudder is located at 113 Dickinson Street and the Bay. The Atlantic Ocean is on one side and the Bay is on the other, making Dewey Beach a playground for adults day and night and the best of both worlds for the young ones. A lot of work has been done inside just for the new season ahead. For more info., please visit http://www.rustyrudderdewey.com. Or, call tel. 302-227-3888.
Arrive by car and you will find plenty of parking available; otherwise come by boat and there are plenty of slips, as well.
Rusty Rudder was opening on Saturday, 4/12, and what a gorgeous day this coastal town had. Plenty of shorts and flip-flops, local attire found in Dewey. The opening of Rusty Rudder brought numerous customers, including Shelley, Mrs. Levinson and myself. There was a Chili Cookoff and we were ready to try and vote for the best.
Surrounding the Rusty Rudder’s deck we found restaurants and individuals that were set up with their prize chili. The conversations heard were, tasty, spicy, ground beef vs. steak chili….You went around sampling all of them. By the time you were finished, a bowl of chili was probably devoured.
Lisa Abel’s Chili was very good. A traditional taste full of flavor…she was the winner.
One of my favorites was prepared by Jimmy’s Grille. It was a white chicken chili. It really was good with just the right seasonings.
Ivy had a pretty good one too. Those I have mentioned were my top picks, but to be honest, I did not try them all.
Big Hat No Cattle was starting to play….entertainment for everyone. They got the crowds going and some of us were able to dance the chili off.
A big shout to the Rusty Rudder for sponsoring the table full of information on Alzheimer’s. A devastating disease in many families causing so much despair. For more info. on the 10 warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease, please visit http://www.alz.org/10signs. Save the Date: “I Walk to End Alzheimer’s” It will be in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware on Saturday, October 4th. And, on October 18th, the walk will be in Wilmington, Delaware. Please call 800-272-3900, or visit http://www.alz.org/desjsepa.
So now that the Season 2014 is open…..we are patiently waiting for summer!
Talk to you later. Have a good one!!
