Before I was married, became a mother and decided to be a stay-at-home mom, I lived in Baltimore, Maryland. I worked in Baltimore and then on Wednesday of Thanksgiving I would drive to Orlean, Virginia, to my boyfriend’s family farm house. He then became my husband, John. My mother in law, Louise, is a great cook and she would go all out Wednesday and Thanksgiving Day. Feeling totally satisfied and comatosed I dreaded the late in the day drive to Baltimore. Work was waiting on Friday. They really should give Friday off to everyone. A long week-end of Thanksgiving. Most of us have a lot to be thankful for.
I love an overcast day on Thanksgiving. I like it cold, as well. So, even though I enjoy the swaying palm trees of warmer climates, on Thanksgiving and Christmas, my preference is the chill in the air that the Atlantic Coast usually offers.
The Delaware Beaches are open for business. The following are restaurants in Rehoboth Beach, Lewes, Georgetown, and Milford that will have Thanksgiving fare. This list is probably not complete. I will update it as I find other restaurants, but in the meantime, it might help if you are coming to the beaches to start a new Thansgiving tradition.

 Best Table on the Beach...Venus in Dewey Winter is the perfect opportunity to learn to cook. Cooking is not hard…don’t rush it…savour it. One of the most fun days I had over a year ago was when a few of us went to one of the cooking classes offered by Big Fish Grill. We had so much fun.

Are you thinking….there she comes again!! Oh, well. You know what happens? When it hits you or your family, then you spring into action, just like anything else.
I got an e-mail from Sharon who every year visits the Delaware Beaches. The difference this year is that she has been diagnosed with celiac disease. No gluten (wheat flour or its derivatives); so….how about Grotto Pizza, a favorite of hers? She read my post on Grotto’s new addition to their menu. You got it, Gluten Free Pizza!!
I don’t know Sharon but I know that brought a smile to her face. She wanted to know more. I sent her a not so short e-mail with additional information on our restaurants that are sensitive to the customers with food allergies and intolerances.
I know how hard it is to go to a restaurant and at the mention of the word “gluten free”, the glaze clouds the eyes of a waiter. It just happened to me this week. It is not her or his fault. On this day and age, as celiac disease is at the forefront of food allergies, restaurants need to inform their staff about this and other food allergies and intolerances because there is a difference, and it is important.
“A true food allergy causes an immune system reaction that affects numerous organs in the body.” It can be severe or life-threatening. An intolerance or sensitivity is less serious. It is limited to digestive problems.
It is evident that eating out is getting easier when you have a food allergy. I have seen the improvement.
The response of some restaurants varies. Not on purpose. There is a lot of ignorance and there is also the chef that has a concept of his dish in a specific way. To change it would completely ruin his masterpiece.
Two restaurants that are rising above the rest, here at the Delaware Beaches, are Big Fish Grill and Bethany Blues. These two restaurants, by far, are the best I have encountered, anywhere, regarding their handling of customers with food allergies. Kudos to them!!
Big Fish Grill
I am a habitual customer of this popular restaurant in Rehoboth Beach. There is always a line but I have a tip for you. If you go through the entrance of the Tiki Bar, you can grab a high top or sit at the bar without the assistant of a hostess. The service is just as good there. I, actually, prefer it.
I questioned if the crabcakes had any fillers. She said “just a little bit for binding”. Oh, it is just that my husband has a gluten allergy. I left it like that. I turned around and the Manager was there wondering who had the gluten allergy. Only the Manager at Big Fish will come and talk to you about an allergy.
After the food is prepared, she will inspect the dish; then the food will be brought to the table by him or her.
Big Fish is located at 20298 Coastal Highway, Rehoboth Beach. Tel. 302-227-FISH. Website? www.bigfishgrill.com.
When visiting the website you can click on Menu. On the right hand side you will see all the menus available for each allergy. Dairy Free, Egg Free, Garlic Free, Gluten Free, Nut Free, Shellfish Free.
On that evening, just sitting at the bar, my husband enjoyed, worryfree, a Thai Wrap and some gorgeous shrimp.
I usually order their House Salad, which has wild greens with tomato, gorgonzola, walnuts and maple walnut vinaigrette. Then, I have them top it with their caramelized Atlantic Salmon. It is delicious. I can’t get enough of it.
Bethany Blues
This restaurant and music venue takes its customers with food related allergies very seriously, as well.
Bethany Blues is located at 18385 Coastal Highway, Lewes, and in Bethany Beach you can find them at 6 North Pennsylvania Avenue. In their website, www.bethanyblues.com you can click under Menu, then click under Allergy Concerns. You will get plenty of info. there.
Again, at Bethany Blues, the Manager will come and talk to you about your food related allergy.
Bethany Blues, I am coming back; just waiting for the Second Season at the Beaches, which is fast approaching.
Even though there plenty of other restaurants that can accommodate you at the Delaware Beaches, these 2 really do stand out.
Let me know what you think…talk to you later…

There are plenty of new places opening up at this time of the year at the Delware Beaches. There are a few changes, as well.
Remember how Big Fish Grill in Rehoboth had a Tiki Bar? Well that is now their new Raw Bar. What was originally the Tiki Bar has more high top tables that are on a first come, first serve and are located in front of the raw bar. It is colorful and alreay a huge success!!
For lunch and dinner? At least 2 different freshly shucked oysters and middleneck clams. All shellfish is shucked fresh to order. Lots of seafood and lots of Bluen Moon on tap.
Big Fish Grill is located at 20298 Coastal Highway in Rehoboth Beach. Tel. is 302-227-Fish. Website? www.bigfishgrill.com.
Friday, 3/25 – A Film Event – The Monthly Screenings are presented by the Rehoboth Beach Film Society. They feature films and discussions about the various cultures in the world, including the diversity in our own country. The screenings are held the 4th Friday of each month. Time? 7:00 p.m. in the upstairs screening room at the Movies at Midway. Admission is $2 for card-carrying members and $4 for the rest of us.
On Friday the film will be Lovely, Still. – The approach of Christmas causes Robert Malone (Martin Landau) to feel lonely in life and love. One snowy day he arrives home from his job at the grocery store to find a beautiful stranger named Mary (Ellen Burstyn) standing in his home. What begins as an odd and awkward encounter quickly blossoms into what appears to be a romantic late-life love affair…..Rated P
Sunday, 3/27 – 1st Annual Chef’s Challenge – Paws for the Cause. This is a fundraising event for research for the cure of canine cancer. It will be held at the Cordrey Center in Millsboro, Delaware from 2 p.m. until 5 p.m.
There will be so many things to enjoy; food, the chef’s challence, auctions, etc. I wrote a post on this event on February 26th. If you would like to check it out please just click on the month of February, 2011 and scroll down to the date. Also the website is www.pawsforthecausefoundation.org.
Thursday, 3/31 – Cinema & Art – Another film event presented by the Rehoboth Beach Film Society, the Rehoboth Art League, and the Inn at Canal Square present this bi-annual film series which brings art and artists to the big screen. The Inn at Canal Square is located at 122 Market Square, Lewes, Delaware; the perfect setting and ambiance to enhance a celebration of art and cinema.
Light reception begins at 6:30 p.m. followed by a film screening at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $15 each, and may be purchased by calling the Rehoboth Art League at 302-227-8408. Reservations are required.
On Thursday you will see Picasso and Braque Go to the Movies – It is produced and narrated by Martin Scorsese. It a cinematic tour through the effects of the technological revolution of the early 20th century. Artists such as Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque and other members of the avant-garde in pre World War I Paris were thrilled and challenged by many new inventions, none more than the new artistic medium called “motion pictures”…..Not Rated
It is great to see the towns waking up. Landscaping, and prepping for the upcoming Summer Season….me? I am just waiting patiently for a few things like these ones to be around….

Rehoboth Beach is one of those coastal towns located in Delaware that is known for its good restaurants. Even though I have lived here for many years, there are still some that I have not visited.
A year ago I started my blog and during this past year I have reviewed some of the downtown restaurants. Once I have reviewed a restaurant or business I send them an e-mail. My reviews are, of course, my personal opinion. I think the restaurants appreciate comments; how the customer has been treated from the moment he or she steps into their establishment.
With that said, I am now getting e-mails with the fall offerings and specials. The following list, is by no means complete. I am getting there and I will keep passing on the information as I get it or find it.

September 20th, 2010
Back in January of this year I wrote a post on Big Fish Grill. If you would like to see it, just go to the left hand side of this blog and under Archives click on the month of January and scroll down to the 23rd.
I have also mentioned Big Fish on other blogs, as well. It is one of those restaurants that…for example, tonight someone in my household wanted scallops, well scallops were not on my menu tonight. My menu was more like leftovers; yes let’s clean up the refrigerator, shall we?
Well, about 1/2 hour later I was at Big Fish. The restaurant is located at 20298 Coastal Highway. Tel. 302-227-9007. Website is www.bigfishgrill.com.
Big Fish is crowded all the time. Popular, consistenly good food; simple and fresh.
This restaurant prides itself on being able to handle any food related allergy. They have the following menus: Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Egg Free, Garlic Free, Nut Free, Shellfish Free. The Manager will come to your table and address your allergy. It is taken very seriously.
Tammi was our waitress and she also eats gluten free. We were definitely in good hands but the manager did come to talk to us.
Blackened scallops over roasted corn and tomatoes was actually a large appetizer that was ordered as a meal and turned out very good.
I really like the glazed salmon and I got it over a Greek Salad, which had romaine, feta, kalamata olives, onions, tomatoes, cukes and pepperoncinis.
It really was a quick dinner tonight so nothing else was ordered.
One thing that I want you to take notice is that Big Fish Grill will start their 2010-2011 Cooking Classes.
When I wrote the post last January, its content, is pretty much the cooking class taken with friends at Big Fish. It was a great one. I learned how to fillet a red snapper and to tell you the truth it was harder than it looked.
You can go on the website and get all the information about these classes but they do fill up quickly.
The cost is $75.00 per class and you must register in advance. The classes are from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m.. Menu items will change for each class, special requests are accepted and group/theme/private classes are also available.
The dates are: October 9th, October 23rd, November 6, November 20th, December 4th, December 18th, January 8th, January 22nd, February 5th, February 19th, March 5th, March 19th, April 2nd, April 16th and April 30th.
You may sign up for the classes at the Big Fish Grill or call 302-227-FISH.
Talk to you later….beautiful weather….
