The Green Room – Hotel du Pont
Tuesday, January 29th, 2008This week I am in Wilmington, Delaware for work and on Michael’s suggestion, I went to the Green Room at the Hotel du Pont for dinner. When I arrived, I was greeted and seated by their wonderful staff. They even offered me reading materials for dinner (newspapers, etc.) as I was dining alone. Upon entering the room, I was in awe of the detail in the wood work. This room which was completed in 1913 (according to the staff) screams "classy!"
For dinner, I ordered braised short ribs which were cooked for 7 hours in duck fat and drizzled with a maple sauce. This was served over garlic mashed potatoes, roasted beets, and deep fried thinly sliced carrot strips. This meal was nothing short of spectacular.
If you are in the Wilmington, Delaware region this place is a must try!
