 In 1958, brothers Frank and Dan Carney borrowed $600 from their mom to open a pizza parlor on the campus of their school, Wichita State University. The tiny slant-roofed building had room for only 9 letters (including spaces) on the existing sign, so the hut-like joint became ...Pizza Hut.
By 1973, the operation had
 It's no secret that Jake's Wayback Burgers is easily filling the void left by the recent shuttering of the 5 Guys store in Lewes. But Rehoboth Beach is not Jake's first rodeo by any means. The chain's increasing presence on the East Coast, including Connecticut, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Florida, Pennsylvania, Maryland and New Jersey is a pretty good indication that they must be doing something right. I know what you're thinking: "Spare us the rambling hyperbole. How does it compare to 5 Guys?"
Well, first things first, dear reader. Good
 Just when you think there are just enough subs / heros / grinders / hoagies in town, somebody throws a new twist into the mix. This time that twist comes from the Philadelphia-based sandwich ... oops, Hoagie ... shop newly ensconced in the last little strip center on the right at the end of Rehoboth Avenue, just before you merge onto Coastal Highway.
The owner has another of these little joints in
 For years, that sunny corner at First and Wilmington was called the Kannery, where the mom and the boys dished up OK subs, burgers and sandwiches. That is, of course, until George and Soula Vrentzos and their daughter Irene opened the Corner Grille in that very same spot. George was a chef in fine dining restaurants for most of his life, and even within the limitations of a beachy sandwich shop, his
 Say what you like, but the Rehoboth Beach boardwalk really needed something in the "no-man's land" at the easternmost end of Wilmington Avenue, flanked only by Gus & Gus' Place and Thrasher's. Well, it's been revitalized by the appearance of the
 Nick and Joan Caggiano's colorful eatery has been a Rehoboth Beach staple since that big blue wet thing was installed at the end of Rehoboth Avenue (or at least since '71...). This is beachy, family dining all the way. The original location is complete with the scarred wooden booths, hour-long waits in the summer, wood floors and the cool electric

 I've been coming to Rehoboth Beach for a long time (I even worked in Ocean city in the late '60s), and I can't remember when there wasn't a Grotto Pizza. Indeed, it was founded on Rehoboth Avenue in 1960 during a time when most people had no idea what the heck a
 When you think of the Rehoboth Beach boardwalk, you can't help but think of Gus & Gus' Place. It's as much a part of life around here as salt water taffy, the bandstand, parking tickets and summer evening happy hour on Baltimore Ave. Located right on the boardwalk at the foot of
 5 Guys ranks as one of the great expansion success stories of the decade. They started out in Alexandria, VA in 1986 as a humble burger joint with an amazing concept: A limited menu and consistent quality. Sticking with that philosophy, they've managed to thrive in spite of
 So, answer me this question: Where can you get Thanksgiving dinner year 'round, on a fresh sub roll, not only here on Rehoboth Avenue, but also in Las Vegas? Only one place: Capriotti's. First off, I believe that one of the reasons Capriotti's food is so consistent is that co-owner Dave Morgan is (almost)
 Such a deal! And, yes, there IS a Lori. You'll find her behind the counter making sandwiches and other goodies, along with her friendly (and loyal) minions. There's not quite anything as nice as strolling down Baltimore Avenue on a cool, breezy spring or fall morning and picking up a
 Arena's original location is in the "Village by the Sea" center (sort of a big alleyway with lots of cool stores). It's a little bit hidden away, but easy to find from either Rehoboth Avenue or Baltimore Avenue. They have a huge list of sandwiches, appetizers, main courses and a TON of interesting
