Rehoboth Foodie

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 muffin, bagel or other nosh from Lori's.

Lori's is located in the courtyard next to the new CAMP Rehoboth Community Center. Diners, nibblers and full-blown fressers can plop (or is that "plotz?") in the courtyard, passing judgment and quietly commenting on the delightful variety of passers-by. Lori's really shines when it comes to sandwiches. And she's known throughout the area for her "Chicken Salad to DIE for." It's aptly named. White meat chicken, toasted almonds, apples, bleu cheese (!) and more goodies. I like to get it on their always-impossibly-fresh French baguette with hot pepper spread (oh, those Goyim!).

Of course, there is the Oy-vey part of the menu with corned beef, turkey (she roasts the turkeys right there...I've seen it with my own eyes) and deli-friendly combinations including whitefish, salami, salmon and...ham (SHHH...don't tell your bubbie!). Well, it IS Delaware, after all. Enjoy it all on a nice selection of breads. Their iced tea is a slightly sweet Tahitian blend and goes down nicely with the generously stuffed sandwiches.

Sorry, Chronic Complainers, I really tried, but I just can't find anything wrong with this friendly little sandwich shop. If you have, please enlighten us below. Lori's is located at 39 Baltimore Ave. You can't see it from the street, so just follow the chewing sound into the little plaza that adjoins CAMP Rehoboth. They will happily deliver in town if you call 302-226-3066. Mercifully, Lori's is open well into the fall season (we have to be carefully weaned off of her chicken salad for the long, lonely winter!) so just give a call to make sure they're open.
