The Secret Delaware Amish Market Where Locals Go For Fried Chicken And Rolls

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...

We Ate Wings All Over Delaware And This Newark Sports Bar Came Out On Top

5 Delaware bars to catch up with friends, family on Thanksgiving Eve

For some, the day before Thanksgiving means spending time in the kitchen in full chef mode, cooking and prepping some of the holiday's big meal ahead of time. It might also mean a quiet evening of setting the traditional Thanksgiving table and cleaning the house for company. But for some, it means something a little wilder: a night out on the town on what is traditionally one of the biggest bar nights of the year. Especially popular with college-aged and post-college crowds, it means friends are back in town, making it a perfect opportunity to catch up and giving barrooms a big buzz. If you're looking for more than just sitting at a bar top and catching up, some spots are hosting live entertainment. At The Queen, Delaware's best-known jam band, Montana Wildaxe, will perform on The Queen's main stage (500 N. Market St., Wilmington) at 8 p.m. And at Crimson Moon (1909 W. Sixth St.), they will host the eighth annual Thanksgiving Eve Bash at 7 p.m., with drag performances including Ariel Versace from the 11th season of "RuPaul's Drag Race." But if you want more of a reunion that focuses on reconnecting rather than live music and dancing,

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
