Our Daily Specials for Summer 2019

Written by Pete Borsari on . Posted in Special Events, This Week

Mondays at The Pond have been 1/2 price Burgers & Wings night for as long as we can remember.  Definitely more than 20 years now and probably more like 30 years.   After much research and discussion, we have concluded, very reluctantly, that we no longer can offer the 1/2 price wings special.
 
While we continue to see the cost of a case of wings increase, we have tried to hold our prices down, absorbing much of the increased cost.  Since 2002, the cost of a case of wings has quadrupled (at one point two years ago, the cost of a case of wings was nearly six times what it was in 2002).  The Pond has made a great effort to continue to offer the 1/2 price wings special on Mondays.  But we have determined that we no longer can offer this special.  Believe me, this was a very painful decision. 
 
We also will be offering 1/2 price Burger Baskets on Mondays.  You still will be able to choose any burger on our menu, including our fabulous black bean burger.  All baskets will include a side of chips.  With these changes, we hope to end the cash only policy we had to institute.
 
Here are our DAILY SPECIALS!

Meet Executive Chef Darryn Gray

Written by Pete Borsari on . Posted in Latest News, Special Events

Raised in Bear, Delaware, Darryn Gray grew up in close knit family that didn’t need an excuse to have friends and family over for dinner.  For Darryn, food was simply a necessity at first, often cooking something after school.  Soon food became a fascination, as Darryn wanted to expand his knowledge to different cultures’ and regions’ cuisine. 

Darryn began his restaurant adventures at Camp Arrowhead in Lewes, Delaware, washing dishes.  After being  a server at numerous restaurants and managing Freddy Wraps in Newark, Delaware,  Darryn realized his love of food and decided to go to culinary school.  He graduated from The Art Institute of Philadelphia in 2011, doing his work study at Harry’s Savoy Grill.  After numerous kitchen jobs, he eventually became the head chef of the Dupont Memorial House, an overnight retreat house located in downtown Rehoboth Beach.  At the Dupont Hosue, he would craft his style of classic southern American food with ethnic influences. 

Being a patron on of The Pond since moving to Rehoboth Beach. Darryn is excited to take on the position of Executive Chef and to contribute to the already stellar reputation of the Rehoboth’s favorite locals bar & grill!
