Hey, all. If you sent an email to Second Helpings with dining questions, we'll try to answer it and post on Friday (or maybe late Thursday.) Friday is the day for reader mail - though we do encourage you to send questions in earlier. Today's story generated much interest. Thanks for writing! Lots of interesting queries - and opinions. Stay tuned.
On to another note: roadside barbecue. I adore this summer tradition. Sidestep the weekend Sussex County traffic snarl on Del. 1 and travel along U.S. 13 until you get to the tiny town of Greenwood. Stop when you see gray smoke, smell the tantalizing barbecue aroma and spy the "Chicken is ready" sign.
Pull into the parking lot of the Greenwood Volunteer Fire Company, take a couple bucks out of your pocket and get ready for some good eats.
Chicken barbecue has been a summer tradition at the Greenwood pit (U.S. 13 near Del. 16; 349-4529) for 45 years. The seasonal stand is open Fridays through Sundays; it's one of those true-blue Delaware experiences, kind of like Punkin Chunkin, the Apple-Scrapple Festival and the Point-to-Point festivities.
Over Memorial Day weekend, I noticed more and more stands. I just got a flyer about Mista B's BBQ chicken and ribs every Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m to 8 p.m. at the Red Lion Inn, on Route 71 at the railroad crossing in Bear. Anyone been there?
Know of any other roadside stands? I'll check 'em out and write an upcoming story. I also seem to remember - maybe? - grilled fajitas off Route 41 in Avondale, Pa., last summer? Anyone? Anyone?

It's not a roadside stand, and it's not in Sussex county, BUT....Durham's BBQ on Elkton Road, just before you cross over into Maryland...it's a little log cabin, and they have, hands down, the best BBQ around. We've had the brisket, chicken, ribs, and turkey, and it's all been amazing. Worth a trip or worth a stop!
I second that recommendation. Durham's BBQ is DELICIOUS!!! I was just there Friday nite (for the umpteenth time) and their beef brisket sandwich is too die for, as usual. I'm not too fond of their sides but the smoked meats are the best. I've had BBQ all over the country and they really can compete with the best of them.
Hey gang, thanks! I noticed the "log cabin" on the way to a lackluster meal at nearby Daddy O's. I wish I spent calories at Durham's instead. OK, I'm dropping by this week.
