Restaurant Review: Mariachi Restaurant

Feeding a growing young man who is also a vegetarian can be a challenge. I spent the better part of an hour recently researching the cuisines that cater to this diet. There are several, but the one that resonated the most with the two teenagers I was feeding was Mexican.

I then shifted my research to Mexican restaurants at the beach. The one that kept coming up as the best was Mariachi. They take reservations and had one available for the three of us at the time we wanted. Done.

Restaurant Review: Bethany Blues

I need to start this review with full disclosure. I worked at Blues for five years and so I am, perhaps, a bit biased about how good the food and the service is. But, in my defense, I had some back up validation the other day.

I am spending the weekend at the beach with my niece and nephew, both of whom are teenagers and both of whom have eaten at Blues many times in the past. On the first night we were together, I told them I would take them anywhere they wanted to go for dinner. The instant and unanimous decision that I got was "Blues --for the mac and cheese."

Restaurant Review: Autumn Arch Beer Project

To begin at the beginning, this brewery is a pain in the neck to find. I had two different GPS systems send me on a wild goose chase until I figured out that the best way to find it was old school. Even that was a challenge.

Trust your GPS to get you to Pencader Drive. Once you are there, follow the numbers until you get to 810. You will know you are there because there is a big sign that says Delaware Auto Glass and a tiny little sign down by the road that says Autumn Arch. The brewery is in Suite C, right next door to the glass place. I am not going to tell you how many times I drove past it before I got there. Suffice it to say I was more than ready for a drink when I walked in the door.

I had come to the right place.

I love coffee. I love the smell. I love the taste. The first thing I do in the morning is brew a cup so that my apartment fills up with that magic aroma.

Delaware's Other Memorials

Yesterday, I posted a piece about the War Memorials that are throughout Delaware. As I was doing my research, I discovered that there are other monuments that showcase just what an effect the state of Delaware has had on American History.

Here is a sample of what you can find as you begin to discover Delaware's place in the larger history of the United States.
