Wednesday food page round-up.....

Gentleman (and ladies) start your grills..... Memorial Day weekend is always the unofficial start of the BBQ and grill season.

Our own Gary Soulsman talks to World Champion Pitmaster Chris Lilly of Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q in Alabama about "Q."

Check out Chris's recipe for "white sauce" which sounds to me somewhat similar to the sauce the "chicken guys" at the Greenwood Fire Company in Sussex slap onto their own barbecue chicken.


I stopped into Annie's in Elsmere recently for one of their triple decker sandwiches (I got a turkey club) and saw a bunch of reading glasses at the front counter.

What's up with that? Then owner Wendy Scully told me about her unique customer service - she keeps several pairs on hand for people who forget their specs. I think that's very cool.

So Pulp Culture blogger Ryan Cormier goes to Capriotti's on Basin Road for a late lunch and runs into - Kumar (aka Kal Penn.) Now, that's pretty hilarious. No White Castles here, but every Delawarean worth their Blue Hen know that Caps is where it's happening. Kumar got a Bobbie. Are you surprised? Me neither. Also, Caps is getting ready to go Hollywood. (See second item.)
