Cape Gazette Editor-in-Chief Trish Vernon sent me a note a couple of weeks ago regarding a recipe for a dish served by one of our pioneer restaurants here at the beach. A fan of this column had contacted her about connecting with Nancy Wayson (formerly Nancy Wolfe), the founder of one of Rehoboth’s most memorable eateries, Chez La Mer.
Back in the early ‘80s, Nancy’s restaurant at the corner of Second and Wilmington was the definitive go-to spot for much of the Washington, D.C. glitterati. Reservations ran weeks in advance; and every dish required her personal stamp of approval.
