When you think Delaware, you don’t think of it as a place for famous foods.  But, little do people know that our small state is packing a punch when it comes to some of the foods and flavor we have in the The First State.

Eric Ruth from The Food Network put us to the test and came up with 15 foods here in Delaware, for a Feast In The First State.  Here is his full list Delaware’s 15 Must Have Foods, According To Food Network.

• The Bobbie

  There once was a time when this, now famous, Capriotti’s Thanksgiving-inspired submarine sandwich was only available in Delaware.  Not anymore!  The Bobbie is now available at Capriotti’s locations nationwide.
