One building holds a sit-down restaurant, a fried chicken counter, a wing stand, and a full Amish bakery. That’s a lot of temptation under a single roof. The doors only open three days a week. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday are the whole schedule, so timing matters. The funny thing...

National Scrapple Day in Delaware brings fun ideas to munch on

Delaware is a little off-center to many people who aren't from here, and so is some of the state's favorite food. Scrapple is arguably the most unique food tied to Delaware, partly because it's a little divisive. This meaty loaf is so special that it gets its own holiday: National Scrapple Day , celebrated on Nov. 9. While Delawareans typically eat scrapple like a piece of breakfast sausage, here are more interesting ways to eat it, plus the origin story of scrapple for those who are new. The Meat Stands Alone: Most Uniquely Delaware thing of all? You either love it or hate it Scrapple cheesesteak and fries If it takes a mountain of French fries to satisfy your cravings, you might want to try some meaty scrapple fries. These treats are a (metaphorical) hill worth dying on. Little Creek Grill near Dover specializes in these bars of meat that look more like French toast sticks than French fries. Like regular fries, these scrapple delights can be dipped into ketchup (or maple syrup). Other interesting scrapple items at Little Creek grill include "The Scrappy," a sandwich that fights for your appetite. The Scrappy is made with Hughes Delaware Maid Scrapple

Delaware E-ZPass accounts unavailable as state investigates threat

Delaware E-ZPass customers are unable to access their accounts online as the state investigates a potential security threat that prompted officials to take the system's website offline. The disruption has at least one frequent Delaware-New Jersey commuter worried that drivers could begin racking up toll violations while they wait for the system to return. James Phillips said he noticed the problem last week and has been unable to check his account balance or determine whether automatic replenishments are going through. Philips said he drives to New Jersey daily and has begun receiving $50 violations connected to trips across the Delaware Memorial Bridge. Online payment services have been temporarily suspended, according to a notice from Delaware E-ZPass. Credit and debit card payments remain available for opening or replenishing accounts and customers needing help with ACH payments can contact the Customer Service Center. DELAWARE ROADS: St. Georges Bridge work will disrupt traffic into mid-December The Delaware Department of Transportation said its E-ZPass vendor, TransCore, detected activity indicating a potential threat and took ezpassde.com offline "out of an abundance of caution."

DIAA 3A Playoff Scenarios entering Week 11

We know the 8 teams who will make up the Class 3A field, but there's still room for a lot of changes in the order. The simplest solution would be Middletown defeating Appoquinimink on Friday night to clinch Class 3A-1 directly, and not avoid a tiebreaker, which they'd still win unless they gave up at least 32 points to the Jags in a loss.
