Culinary Adventures
From boardwalk fries to fine dining, Southern Delaware means great eating!
SOUTHERN DELAWARE IS A FOODIE MECCA. The area is known as The Culinary CoastTM because of its incredible concentration of top-notch, James Beard-nominated and award-winning chefs
and restaurants, but you’ll find all of your favorite boardwalk foods here too. Check out the
restaurant guide on our website at www.VisitSouthernDelaware.com/culinary-de.
ARE YOU TRAVELING FARTHER THAN YOUR FOOD? While it may appear to visitors that Sussex County’s #1 industry is sunshine and surf, in reality our agriculture industry is even bigger. This is great news because it means the restaurants of our Culinary CoastTM serve up delicious dishes made with the freshest possible ingredients.
Love to cook? You can fuel your family’s vacation with the freshest ingredients too. Our farmers’ markets are fabulous — and frequent! There’s at least one taking place nearly every day of the week in season...
Find out which restaurants serve local ingredients; just look for the Local
on the
Menu logo. Local on the Menu pairs farmers,
watermen, and producers with area restaurants that display this logo on their menus to let guests know their ingredients are the tastiest, freshest ingredients available. www.localonthemenu.com
Sussex County is also home to many farms and producers who sell their own home-grown products.
If you’ve never been to an alpaca farm, a winery, or a lavender farm, or if you haven’t tried farm-fresh ice cream, lavender chocolate, cherry cider, or bison burgers, you’ve got some treats in store! To find out about local specialties, go to www.VisitSouthern Delaware. com/source-local-specialties.
You’ll also find cooking classes offered by award-winning chefs,
walking and
mobile food
tours, food (and drink!) festivals and events, and lots more throughout the year here. www.VisitSouthernDelaware. com/food-tours-classes
Finally, we’ll let you in on a
little secret. A visit to Southern Delaware in the off season yields a tasty bonus: Many local eateries remain open year-round and offer deep discount dining specials for locals and savvy visitors.
