Letter to Restaurateurs in Delaware

Sometimes simple, authentic cuisine is all you need to create.

  • Stop with the unique takes on sauces. If I see more than one sauce option, I’m not ordering it.
  • Stop with “this is my version.” Do you know what you’re doing?
  • Stop with nouveaux. Replace “new” with fresh, local.
  • Stop with fusion. Leave fusion for those late nights when you return from the pub. 
  • Stop with ala. Ala nothing. Stop rubbing the lamp.
  • Stop drenching everything with Sriracha, honey, gorgonzola, Buffalo, 4-cheese, wasabi, _________.

You would be boldly unique if you’d just give me real genuine food. Fresh food cooked the way everyone’s mama used to. Go back to basics. That’s all I want to afford.
