Chez La Mer says adieu


This just in:
Espuma chef/owner Jay Caputo (that's him cooking eggs at the Meals from the Masters Celebrity Chefs Brunch) is purchasing Chez La Mer, one of Rehoboth Beach's most venerable restaurants.
Caputo, who has owned Espuma since 2004, will finalize the purchase at the end of the month.
Chez La Mer, a high-end French restaurant in a large, rambling, salmon pink beach house full of angles, windows and wood, has been a part of the Rehoboth dining scene since the 1970s.
The restaurant at the corner of Second Street and Wilmington Avenue has a cozy porch and deck terrace which offers a view of the town.
Caputo plans to begin major renovations this fall, but will "tweak" the menu this summer.

More on this after I chat with Jay.
