McCabe’s Gourmet Market, Bethany Beach, Delaware
I have been going to McCabe’s for many years. It is such a nice gourmet store. I wanted to get some pate, and they always have a good selection. Their pates are from a company called Three Little Pigs. I had to check them out closely because, my husband has celiac disease and has to follow a gluten free diet. I could not buy the truffles pate but I bought the Campagne and the Au Poivre and they were both delicious.
Their store is nice and cozy and you may eat indoors or outside, weather permitting. You find customers just coming for lunch or ordering take out. Or, just coming to have a cup of coffee and a croissant or other baked goods. I know that in the winter they have great soups too. They also have a freezer, so they have great goodies to take home for a later time. One of those treats is their Queso (Mexican Cheese Dip) and I happen to have that recipe because years ago when I was part of a group that put together a school cookbook, they graciously donated their recipe and I will be posting it on my next blog.
This market has great salads, carry a pretty good selection of gourmet foods, olive oils, pastas, etc.
Another reason to know this market is that you may order ready to go gourmet gift baskets or customize your own. You can find some great cookbooks and magazines all catering to foods. Their prices are comparable to a lot of the gourmet shops in all the beaches in the area. It is easy to get to since it is at the end of South Bethany, on Coastal Highway, the last strip mall, with plenty of parking too.
I hope you like it, and let me know what you think.
Until then, Gloria

Love the website. I am looking forward to reading all the new and exciting information. I agree it is a good day for grilled chicken, not too sure about the Zumba class! Hope to see you at the beach soon!
