EDITORS’ PICK, UPSTATE
After a show at The Grand Opera House, we can’t resist a walk across the street to Chelsea Tavern for some Loaded Fries. There are a dozen appetizers and sandwiches, plus a few salads, available any time. Top it off with one of any number of craft brews from Chelsea’s wide selection. 821 N. Market St., Wilmington, 482-3333, chelseatavern.com

The full dinner menu is offered right up till closing at JAM Bistro. We like all its variations of the humble french fry. (This is a beach place, after all.) 21 Baltimore Ave., Rehoboth Beach, 226-5266, jambistro.com
