A NOTE TO OUR READERS:
"Our Favorite Regional Restaurants" is from the Favorites 2005 issue of Southern Living.
BRIDGEVILLE
Jimmy's Grille (Traditional Southern): 18541 South Main Street; (302) 337-7575. We won't hold the scrapple (decidedly un-Southern) listed on the breakfast menu against them, because the fried chicken is so good. Double the
goodness with macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, or stewed tomatoes. Beef, seafood, and sandwiches are available also. Breakfast, lunch, dinner.
REHOBETH BEACH
Fusion (Seafood): 50 Wilmington Avenue; (302) 226-1940 or www.fusion-sedona.com. The menu changes frequently, but we enjoyed a sublime sea bass served with Thai noodles and warm ginger sauce, and a heavenly macadamia-encrusted
halibut with an amaretto beurre blanc sauce. Dine early, 5:30-7 p.m., and take advantage of the special "buy one entrée, get the second free" (except holidays; reservations required). Dinner.
WILMINGTON AREA
821 (Ethnic Standout): 821 North Market Street; (302) 652-8821 or www.restaurant821.com. Fresh local ingredients, some grown by the owners, highlight the Mediterranean cuisine. Upscale dining with an open kitchen. We enjoyed
the Forever Braised Short-Rib. Dinner.
The Back Burner Restaurant (Contemporary Southern): 425 Hockessin Corner, Hockessin (west of downtown via State 48 and 41); (302) 239-2314 or www.backburner.com. Order a seafood dish or one of the steaks, such as the Filet en
Croute, a filet mignon baked in puff pastry with Brie. Lunch, dinner (closed Sunday).
Harry's Seafood Grill (Seafood): 101 South Market Street; (302) 777-1500 or www.harrysseafoodgrill.com. The Crab Cakes are outstanding, but whatever is fresh is sure to please. Lunch, dinner.
Krazy Kat's (Contemporary Southern): State 100 and Kirk Road, Montchanin (at The Inn at Montchanin Village); (302) 888-4200 or www.montchanin.com. The menu changes seasonally, but recent offerings included Jumbo Lump Crab
Bisque and Crispy Atlantic Halibut. For diners in a fowl mood, there was Exotic Mushroom Roasted Duck Breast & Crispy Leg of Confit. Breakfast, lunch (Monday-Friday), dinner.
