Chesapeake & Maine is giving lobster ravioli a Mexican street-corn twist.
Just in time for the summer season, Dogfish Head Chesapeake & Maine, the brewery’s seafood and cocktail spot in downtown Rehoboth Beach, this week unveiled an array of new menu items, from fresh seafood dishes sourced from the waters between the Chesapeake Bay and Maine, to innovative cocktails, spearheaded by its new lead mixologist, Ryan Warwick. To complement the new offerings, the restaurant is also introducing a newly remodeled bar, boasting enhanced comfort for guests and a refreshed look.
Chesapeake & Maine’s culinary team has crafted some exciting new menu items that guests are already loving. Favorites include an “indulgent” Steak Bordelaise, best served with crab or lobster; a scratch-made lobster ravioli; and a tuna poke bowl.
“Chesapeake & Maine is like no other restaurant I’ve worked at in this area, as we are constantly evolving and trying new things,” said Chesapeake & Maine chef Jordan Drew. “We’ll combine flavors from north Africa, or ancient flavors from the Mediterranean and Middle East, and make something completely new. Take our lobster ravioli, for example — why not give it a Mexican street-corn twist? I’ve always loved the Dogfish mentality of being a bit off-centered. Plus, I’m never scared to throw a little beer or spirits into any of our food to help showcase the versatility of what C&M is all about.”
Lead mixologist Ryan Warwick is creating new cocktails at Chesapeake & Maine, featuring Dogfish Head's spirits and locally sourced ingredients.
Enlisting the expertise of their new lead mixologist, Ryan Warwick, who brings experience from the hospitality industry in and around the Eastern Shore, Chesapeake & Maine is continuing to elevate its James Beard Award-nominated bar program. With a focus on incorporating Dogfish Head spirits and locally sourced ingredients into its scratch-made cocktails, Chesapeake & Maine serves as a hub for innovation at Dogfish, aiming to take classic cocktails and turn them on their heads in a whimsical and imaginative way.
“We are set apart from other bar programs in the area due to the fact we have a straight connection with where our spirits come from, allowing us to create more than just cocktails for guests,” said Warwick. “We bring the stories from our distillery to life in the libations we create behind the bar.”
Guests can expect to see some classic iterations of tropical cocktails this summer, some of which feature more intricate preparation or incorporate theatrical elements, making them exclusive “at the bar only” items, giving folks even more of a reason to snag a seat at Chesapeake & Maine’s newly renovated bar.
