It's inevitable that you're going to get hungry on a road trip, especially when going from state to state. Sure, buying snacks for your trip is one of the best parts, but sometimes you need to stop and have a meal when the snacks just aren't cutting it.
Typically, you might pull over for a quick run through a drive thru for a greasy burger and fries, but other times you might want to get out of the car, stretch, and relax while you enjoy a little break with some decent food.
Seriously, some of the best chicken fingers I have ever had came from a rest stop on Alligator Alley in South Florida. And anyone who's seen "Diners Drive-Ins & Dives" knows Guy Fieri has made his fair share of stops at roadside restaurants across the country.
Lucky for us here in the First State one of the best roadside restaurants in the US is right here in Delaware.
And not too many of the others are far off the beaten path if we're making a road trip down south.
So, what is this must try roadside restaurant in Delaware? It's none other than Helen's Sausage House in Smyrna. And lucky for the folks in Newark, Helen's is opening a second location at 145 E. Main Street this fall.

The restaurant in Chadds Ford we teased you about is Hank's Place. A quaint, cottagelike diner dishing up American comfort food, from omelets to spanakopita.

10 Hot Spots For Chicken Wings In Wilmington
If I've said it once, I've said it a million times. There is a national holiday for just about everything nowadays.
According to National Day Calendar it's time to honor the chicken wing because National Chicken Wing Day is on July 29th.
How fitting it falls on a Saturday this year. I just wish we had some football to watch, to go along with the wings.
Anyway, with the day quickly approaching, I thought I'd find out where we can find the best chicken wings in Wilmington. So, I enlisted the help of the friendly folks over at Yelp!
As most of us know, Yelp uses customer reviews and ratings to determine their rankings in a given location. While I do agree this list is full of some delicious wings, two of my favorites aren't included and I refuse to leave them out.
Of course, Hooter's is my number one! I have yet to find wings I prefer over these breaded bites of joy, covered in the hot sauce, nothing is better. And my second favorite, also not on the Yelp list, are the wings at PJ Whelihan's but that's in PA, so that's why. Order them extra crispy & hot, they're to die for.
Enough about my favorites (although you should listen to me), here are 10 hot spots for chicken wings in Wilmington.
Next up we can debate ranch vs blue cheese 😉
