Drop Squad Kitchen-928 Justison Street Wilmington, DE

What is so unique about a chicken cheesesteak you may ask? Well, this one is completely vegan! You heard us correctly, no chickens were harmed and this dish is still incredibly delicious. You may go to Philly for a cheesesteak, but for a much healthier, yet just as tasty rendition, head to Wilmington!

Ernest & Scott Taproom-902 N Market Street Wilmington, DE 

 

We hadn't thought it was important to try Scottish cuisine until hearing about the Scottish salmon at Ernest & Scott Taproom, then we were intrigued! Salmon is always tasty, but this takes it to a different level completely.

A Stunning Food Hall is Coming to Downtown Wilmington!

Food Hall Wilmington DE

A Food Hall is on its way to the Historic DuPont Building and we couldn't be more excited! Not only will it provide entrepreneurial chefs with a place to launch their business idea...the space is gorgeous!

Everyone gets excited for lunchtime and in late 2018 it will be even better in Downtown Wilmington! DE.CO — short for Delaware Collective is on its way!

“Wilmington’s newly thriving food scene is reaching a turning point, and DE.CO’s convenient location at the heart of the dynamic mid-Atlantic makes it a magnet for culinary talent that will draw locals and visitors alike downtown,” says Seawall’s Peter DiPrinzio, who developed Baltimore’s wildly successful food hall, R. House. “DE.CO will feel like a lively restaurant and bar, and will serve as a gathering place throughout the day in into the night: for coffee with friends, a lunch meeting among co-workers, date night for couples or weekend brunch with the whole family.”

Check out these articles featuring coverage of the story.
