Rehoboth Foodie

Las Vegas is a Foodie's paradise. Everything from 24/7 joints serving breakfasts, burgers and dogs, to lavish buffets; from tucked-away locals' hangouts to Celebrity Chef installations perched high atop multi-million-dollar casino/hotels with an average cost per diner in the hundreds of dollars. Where to go? Which ones are best? The Foodie knows.

Virginia Beach has become a mini-suburb of Norfolk, VA and has a pretty substantial metro area divided into three distinct parts: (1) the "beach," (2) a busy commercial area packed with chain restaurants and big shopping centers just a few miles inland, and, (3) another commercial area just north of the beach on Shore Road toward the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel.

The diversity of Atlanta is reflected in the choices of places to eat. BBQ joints with mountains of hickory mingle with dainty sushi palaces, frou-frou, neon-lit diners, and one of the best steak houses the Foodie has ever had the pleasure of popping a Lipitor in.

Having grown up in the Washington, D.C. area, the Foodie (just a tiny Foodlet way back then) crawled from place to place checking out the menus and venues. As a musician in restaurants and lounges, he got to sample all the goodies nightly. (He didn't remain a tiny Foodlet for very long.) Occasional visits back to the D.C. area are still required for The Foodie's gastronomic peace-of-mind.

Places like Silver Spring, Chevy Chase, Bethesda and Rockville MD are just over the line from Washington, D.C., but are meccas for restaurant fans everywhere. In Bethesda alone, there are well over 200 eateries within a few blocks of one another.

What can I say! It's the city that never sleeps (and never stops eating). So many places.

On Rt. 13, just after the airport and before you reach the I-395 interchange at Wilmington, there's a strip of stores and restaurants, some of which are noteworthy. Articles in this section also include Newark, DE and places near or in Christiana Mall near the Rt. 1 / Rt. 395 interchange.
