The angst and torment associated with attending a grand opening, judging a best hamburger contest (at a brewery, yet) or getting a sneak peek at a new concept is just too much to bear. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Who has more fun than I do?! In fact, the only downside to 16 Mile Brewery’s Delmarva’s Best Burger contest a couple of weeks ago was that I ... http://capegazette.villagesoup.com/p/it-s-a-hard-job-but-someone-s-got-to-do-it/1001815 Tue, 21 May 2013 17:00:00 EDT newsroom@capegazette.com (Bob Yesbek) A&E http://capegazette.villagesoup.com/p/next-teller-please-you-can-bank-on-it/998597?source=rss ]]> Steve Kogler’s recent departure from Teller Wines could have been a tragedy for thirsty oenophiles far and wide. His personal touch and friendly attitude made the potentially intimidating ordeal of wine selection into a relaxed and enjoyable experience. But it’s no secret that his first love is artisanal breads. His great-grandparents emigrated from Germany in the late 1800s, bringing with them the Old World ... http://capegazette.villagesoup.com/p/next-teller-please-you-can-bank-on-it/998597 Mon, 13 May 2013 17:00:00 EDT newsroom@capegazette.com (Bob Yesbek) A&E http://capegazette.villagesoup.com/p/local-gals-do-it-italian-style-and-then-some/995530?source=rss ]]> One of the few good things about Gelato Gal’s former location was that the last thing you ate would have been delicious - shortly before you were mowed down by the wall of cars flyin’ by that hidden entrance. Not that her refreshingly light gelato wasn’t worth that death-defying turn, but perhaps there’s more to live for - like smoked barbecue. (More about that later.) In the interest of increased visibility (for ... http://capegazette.villagesoup.com/p/local-gals-do-it-italian-style-and-then-some/995530 Tue, 07 May 2013 17:00:00 EDT newsroom@capegazette.com (Bob Yesbek) A&E http://capegazette.villagesoup.com/p/the-spring-restaurant-roundup-so-what-s-new/992460?source=rss ]]> The Post-it notes fluttering around the edge of my computer monitor look like used-car lot banners on a windy day. Each one bears a scribbled note about an opening, a closing, a remodeling or whatever else flows in from my vast network of spies, moles and operatives. Something has to be done (all that paper could be a fire hazard). So let’s review the latest happenings so I can finally throw all that stuff ... http://capegazette.villagesoup.com/p/the-spring-restaurant-roundup-so-what-s-new/992460 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 17:00:00 EDT newsroom@capegazette.com (Bob Yesbek) A&E http://capegazette.villagesoup.com/p/chez-la-mer-rehoboth-history-with-a-french-accent/989292?source=rss ]]> Oh, Murlene! What a great cook you are! You should open a restaurant!” And with those words begins the often unavoidable downslide into stress, disappointment, financial woes, bankruptcy, possible divorce and perpetual bewilderment. Being a good cook doesn’t necessarily mean you can run a restaurant. There’s at least one exception to every rule, and the most notable is none other than Nancy Wayson, formerly Nancy ... http://capegazette.villagesoup.com/p/chez-la-mer-rehoboth-history-with-a-french-accent/989292 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 17:00:00 EDT newsroom@capegazette.com (Bob Yesbek) A&E
