Frank & Louie’s is located on the very quaint and trendy Baltimore Avenue in Downtown Rehoboth Beach, Delaware; 58 Baltimore Avenue. Tel. 302-227-5777. You can find them of Facebook.
When they decided to open their own shop on Baltimore Avenue, they were already well known at the Delaware Beaches.
Meet Frank & Louie. On the photo, Louie is on the left and Frank is on the right. These brothers always have a friendly smile to offer customers and friends and a bear hug, as well.
So, I decided to stop by and say hello on Monday. The Second Season in Rehoboth Beach is great. Plenty of parking available, beautiful weather….and it was time for lunch.
Beautiful cheeses…they will let you sample.l
Italian products and olive oil.
Frank and Louie’s offers catering. The foods are priced and sold in a 1/2 sheet, deep catering pan which feeds about 8 to 10 people; meat or cheese lasagna, eggplant parmesan, chicken parmesan, sausage and peppers, baked ziti, meatballs with sauce, risotto balls, you name it! Their food is made with traditional Italian family recipes, including their homemade tomato and basil sauce. The orders can also be customized for special needs. You should give them at least 24 hours advance notice…then, you will be good to go.
So, as I was looking at the Board…I asked Louie….what should I have? With no hesitation, he said “Sal Special”… how about some hot peppers…oh yes!!!
Sal Special had Coppa, mortadella, genoa salami, prosciutto cotto, and sharp provolone….plus my hot peppers, on a ciabatta roll, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil. The ciabatta bread is elongated and it known for its distinctive flavor.
Have you ever had their mother’s baked goods? If you haven’t then, please do so, because you will be hooked. Always available and custom orders for holidays, parties, etc. are welcomed.
I went home to sample my own tasting…..Sal Special…loved the bread, the meats were outstanding and the hot peppers gave the hero an extra punch. And for dessert, ricotta cookies, chocolate chip cookies, lindser cookies, and almond macaroons. Nothing that a few long walks could take care of.
Holidays are around the corner, just remember that they are in town and very accessible to arrange goodies for your customers, family, and friends.
Have a good one!!

Over a week ago, Trish said to me, as I was walking my neighborhood, that she was going to get bagels from the new place located at Midway. I did not know there was a bagel place there. But, I did find out that they opened 3 months ago. Put it in the back of my mind as a possible post for my blog.
I also have a friend that eats a bagel and a banana every single day. I, on the other hand, hardly eat bagels. Therefore, I am no expert.
Bagels were brought to the U.S. by immigrant Polish-Jews. In 2008, Gregory Chamitoff, an astronaut, was the first person known to have taken 18 sesame seed bagels into space on his 2008 Space Shuttle mission to the International Space Station.
Today, I decided that K & H Hot Bagels was the place to check out.
First of all, K & H Hot Bagels is located at 18675 Coastal Highway, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. It is the same shopping center where the Midway Movie Theaters are located, Rt. 1. Tel. 302-645-1535, Fax 302-645-1570. Plenty of parking available at all times.
They open 7 days a week. Mondays to Saturdays from 5 a.m. until 5 p.m., Sundays from 6 a.m. until 4 p.m.
I spoke to Herberth Loaiza. He told me that his alarm wakes him up every day at 3:00 a.m. Yes, that early. All bagles are baked in the premises. No preservatives are added; everything is 100% natural, no fat, and no cholesterol.
They also make bialys, which are small rolls that are a traditional Polish dish. They are similar to a bagel but instead of being boiled before baking, a bialy is simply baked and there is no hole in the middle; a depression instead.
Herberth told me that they also bake pastries and muffins. Breakfast is served all day. But, the restaurant also has homemade soups, which are never frozen.
Available are also gourmet salad sandwiches, premium cold cut and cheese sandwiches, wraps,and fresh salads. Some from the grill, like cheesesteak hero, chicken cheesesteak, tuna melt, grilled roast beef, onions, mushrooms and gravy, among others.
You can also call or fax your orders in and they will have them ready for you.
I bought an everything bagel, a roll and a sundried tomato bagel. I decided to eat the sundried tomato bagel and I found it to have a nice crusty outside and a soft middle. I even ate it plain.
K & H Hot Bagels have coffee and cold drinks. Tables are also available in case you want to sit down and take a break.
It was time to go but not before I was able to take a peek at their kitchen which had bagels and other goodies resting until it was time to be baked.
Let me know how you like them. And, remember that they do sale retail and wholesale.

Talk to you later….what a beautiful day it was….the visitors must be having a ball!!
