On Thursday, March 1, Summerhouse in Rehoboth Beach will generously donate a portion of each dinner check from 5 to 10pm to Sussex Countians living with HIV and AIDS. Jaime Schneider's Food 4 Friends is the food bank in Sussex County bringing help to those who need it.
Well, the results are in! Today the lease was signed on Touch of Italy's fourth location in the old Ocean Liquors spot next to where Niko's used to be and where the Nage MarketPlace is now being fitted out.
The Rehoboth Beach Popeyes located on a pad in the Wal-Mart parking lot is about to change hands, and the new owners plan to take it apart and put it together again. And goodness knows it needs it.
In true "Where's Waldo" fashion, denizens of Rehoboth Beach thought that the former Nourish healthy-cooking maven (and chef to the stars) Deb Sutter had flown the coop. In fact, rumors of her coop-flying are greatly exaggerated. Deb is alive and well and helping her friend Patty Jacobs in Georgetown at Patty's delightful little carryout named, of all things, Patty's.
Well, after her long, comtemplative hiatus, trudging through the snow with her Tibetian guru and searching for herself amongst the Himalayan peaks, The Town Crawler has returned to Rehoboth Beach, a bit frostbitten, but otherwise none the worse for wear. And she's ready to assume the position in front of her beloved IBM Selectric with the multiple font balls and two-color ribbon.
Everybody's abuzz about the recent issue involving Summerhouse and alleged discrimination against a customer. There are always two sides to every story, and this one's no different. Check out the article in the Washington Blade (link below), and the comments posted below it by Blade readers in Rehoboth. No matter what the circumstances, the owners have moved to contain the issue, including termination of the offending employee, and publishing a long letter of explanation and clarification in the 2/10/12 Cape Gazette.
Yes, the rumors are true. The always-seemed-to-be-in-the-weeds Beseme is history (truth be told, we're all probably better off for it). But more history is about to arrive at the Hotel Rodney in Lewes: The Rose & Crown's decidedly British pub grub and fun games will be resurrected in that little Market St. space that was the original home of the Buttery. It's no secret that it was tight in there, and Hotel Rodney owner Jim O'Hare is currently remodeling the lobby/restaurant area to give the place a little more breathing room.
Big Fish Restaurant Group is working hard to reopen the venerable Salt Air on Wilmington Avenue, growing its list of ventures that include Summerhouse and Big Fish Grill here in Rehoboth Beach.

Touch of Italy is expanding into the Five Points Center, taking over the space formerly occupied by the always-seemed-so-sad Fisher Bay.
space across from Tanger Midway (within waddling distance of the new Panera Bread). A sign verifying that is 
proudly displayed in the window of Ledo's.
MD and NJ chain, Pat's Pizzeria, is open for business in the old 5-Guys spot in Lewes next to Bling. Right next door, however, Barista Cafe has closed for good. The people at Bling are sad.
The heavy equipment's in place and poised to build us our first Panera. Goodness knows it's been a long time coming, but, yes indeed, we will have a Panera Bread right here in Rehoboth Beach.Want Cheap Eats?
