5 Wilmington Food Joints Guy Fieri Featured On Diners Drive Ins & Dives

Author Diana Beasley

Wilmington has been called a new foodie destination for the last few years.  I’ve heard people say you don’t need to go to Philly anymore to find good food.  In fact, I’ve seen a lot of people coming into Wilmington, from Philly, for the food.

It’s not going unnoticed either.  Guy Fieri has taken notice too!  In fact, he noticed Wilmington as a foodie destination before many of the locals.  He hasn’t been to the First State in quite a while, and that needs to change, but he did come several years back, and he popped into some of the best local joints in town.

If you’re not familiar with Guy, get out from under your rock.  Just kidding.  Guy Fieri is a Food Network star.  He is host of several shows, including “Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives”.

On this show Fieri travels the country visiting unique and locally owned mom and pop restaurants, typically recommended by the show’s viewers.  While at each stop, he spends time with the local owners, tastes their signature dishes and takes viewers through a step by step process of how the dishes are made with the local chef.

So, let’s take a look at the Delaware locations that have been featured on the show.

These are the 5 Wilmington Food Joints Guy Fieri Featured On Diners Drive Ins & Dives

12 Popular Fast Food Joints Delawareans Are Missing Out On

When driving down the road in Wilmington or Newark or Rehoboth Beach, there doesn’t seem to be a shortage of popular fast food options.  There’s a McDonald’s, Chick-Fil-A, Taco Bell or some other drive-thru fast food stop on pretty much every corner.

I was recently in Southwest Florida and I did take notice of some fast food options we don’t have up here in Delaware.  It got me thinking.  Are we missing out on some dynamite fast food spots?

In doing a quick Google search to find out about the most popular fast food brands across the country, I quickly learned that we are in fact missing out on some very popular options across the country.  I have tried several of these places, so I can speak from experience.   We may need to start some petitions.

Luckily, we now have the long awaited, first Raising Cane’s location, so that’s one brand we can add to the list of what we do have here in the First State.  The stand alone restaurant, with a drive-thru, is located at 127 Grove Lane in Newark.

According to The Raising Cane’s website, their concept is simple and unique.  They say they only have ONE LOVE – quality chicken finger meals! At Raising Cane’s you get an exceptionally high quality product served quickly and conveniently. We can do this because we offer a limited menu.  You can learn more about Raising Cane’s here.

I haven’t tried Raising Canes yet, but I am really looking forward to giving the chicken fingers a try!

So, what are these 12 fast food brands we are missing out on in Delaware?
