‘Back of House’ to spotlight Delaware restaurants Feb. 3

The Delaware Tourism Office and the Delaware Restaurant Association will host a video premiere event celebrating the chefs and restaurants that shape the First State’s food scene from 4 to 6 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 3, at the Chase Center on the Riverfront, Wilmington. 

A series of short films, called “Back of House,” will be screened, offering an intimate behind-the-scenes look at the people and places that bring Delaware’s restaurants to life. Attendees will enjoy tastings served by many of the chefs featured in the films.

“From downtown Wilmington to coastal towns and main streets across the state, Delaware’s restaurants are essential to our tourism economy. They don’t just serve meals – they create experiences that keep visitors coming back,” said Jessica Welch, director of the Delaware Tourism Office. “We are honored to share the stories of a few of our state’s treasured restaurants and chefs, and invite the public to celebrate them with us at this exclusive screening event.”

"Delaware’s restaurants are at the heart of our communities, and this event is a chance to celebrate the incredible talent and creativity that happen behind the scenes," said Carrie Leishman, president and CEO of the Delaware Restaurant Association. "‘Back of House’ gives our chefs and restaurant teams the spotlight they deserve, and we’re thrilled to invite the public to experience the passion, artistry and flavors that make Delaware’s food scene so special."

“Back of House” is a partnership among DTO, DRA, 1440 Film Co., and the Greater Wilmington Convention and Visitors Bureau.
