Yep, we’re on the cutting edge here in Wilmington — we have a pop-up restaurant, right here in our own charming little town.
What is a pop-up, you ask?
It’s simply a temporary, one-night-only kind of restaurant, often housed in a current restaurant space for an evening, featuring some kind of interesting “theme.”
Here in Wilmington we have [...]

I love the Farmer’s Market in downtown Wilmington. Love.
I recently went with my friend Carolyn, who I wandered around with, taking in the bounty of the market and the beauty of the setting, soaking up lots of produce-related knowledge. Damn, those downtown farmers’ market vendors know a lot about produce, I tell ya!
You just can’t [...]

I’ve heard heaps of positive comments about this place since it opened earlier this year.
The latest was last week when I stopped into The Wine Sampler, in the same shopping strip as Pizzetta’s (Anderson Square Plaza), where I had a lovely discussion about many things Pizzetta’s with the person selling me wine that day.
She said [...]

I finally made it in here after wanting to visit since last December when they opened. Wayfarer Deli is in the teeny-tiny space at 110 South Front St. (once home to Wilmington Wine Shoppe, among other things), and I do mean tiny. But these guys have packed a lot of goodness into such a small [...]

Today I’m going to leave off writing and simply post a few pics from the Temptations Everyday Gourmet “Forgotten Grapes” Wine Dinner held on March 4, 2011. (For more information on “Forgotten Grapes,” and the list of wines paired with each of the five courses below, check out the post I wrote here.)
Every bite was sublimely delicious. Thank you [...]

It’s big fun. Chris Kern, of Forgotten Grapes, whose tag line is “doing for forgotten grapes what Dancing with the Stars does for forgotten celebrities,” [...]

whiskey creek burger, half devoured . . .
In case you’ve never heard of Whiskey Creek – I hadn’t – it’s on Masonboro Loop Road in the old Heck of a Peck Oyster Bar location. Weird, because I drive by this place four or five days a week, and I’ve never noticed it.
A friend of mine [...]

I’ve been meaning to get to Crow Hill since it opened, and last Friday night I finally did. I had old friends in town I hadn’t seen in 15 years, and after enjoying a few glasses of wine at The Fortunate Glass, we decided we were in the mood for food, so off to Crow [...]

Hey Wilmingtonians, remember when Chelsea’s, that adorable little wine bar, was on the corner of Front and Market Streets? I sure do.
It was the most charming place. Great wine list. Awesome people watching downtown from your comfortable perch inside, as you sipped your glass of Pinot Noir or Sauvignon Blanc, or what have you. Good [...]

IS THIS YOU?
You know a nice bottle of wine would dress up the spaghetti you made for dinner. You’d love to bring the right Champagne to your friend’s housewarming party. Or show up with a bottle of Rosé because it seems to be the new “it” wine. And wouldn’t it be nice to open a [...]
