Just Hooked

Chef Steve Hagan continues to bat a thousand with his first venture, Off the Hook in Bethany Beach. In fact, it's a little annoying to review, because I can never find much of anything to complain about. But after a couple of servings of that warm, yeasty focaccia, it's hard to complain about anything.

When I think of a beach vacation, I think of relaxed breakfasts with endless hot coffee and made-to-order food. Jimmy's Kitchen in Fenwick Island provides both. It couldn't be more "beachy" in its strip-center location, facing east and just steps from the Atlantic. The first thing you see when
