DOVER
DOVER... MORE THAN JUST DANICA
While so much media hype is focused on Danica Patrick's first race weekend at the Monster Mile, Dover Int'l Speedway is a great ticket for so many other reasons. The East Series, Nationwide and Cup highlight this great weekend.
PLEASANT CRAB AT PLEASANTON'S
We met the family that own Pleasonton's Seafood in Dover, DE during our last visit to Dover. What great people. We went out on their boat and they showed us how they catch crab.

Squeaky Cheese in Wisconsin
Helen's Famous Sausage House
(MD Pick)
It's a simple equation. Take a simple menu, trucker hours and a family recipe of sausage passed down four-generations and it equals Helen's Famous Sausage House. It's been open since 1985 and is a pretty cool lil' family operated place. Sausage lovers, check it out!

Matilda's
(MD Pick)
It's all the way in Newark, DE... but that is where a good handful of NASCAR people stay during Dover weekend. Matilda's is certainly one of a kind. It's a real cool bar and grill that features some good stuff on "the barbie." Want the true Australian barbie expereince? Try the appetizer that includes Emu and Kangaroo! Or have their Kangaroo burger. Ok, if that scares you they have traditional favorites too!

Sambo's Tavern
(MD Pick)
It's a place that you'd only hear about from someone who's been. You won't find this remote location in your travels around Dover Int'l Raceway. Sambo's is off the beaten path but on the radar for nearly everyone in the NASCAR garage.
Robby Gordon several of us to Sambo's for the first time several years ago. It's a small seafood restaurant that is usually packed with NASCAR folks. We even saw Jeff Gordon dining there last year.
Newpaper covered tables and crabs, that's all you really need to know! Get ready to get messy. This place is known for it's crabs and it is essential to roll-up the sleeves and get crackin!

Leipsic, DE 19901-1736

Boondocks
(MD Pick)
Is it a crab-battle between Sambo's and Boondocks? Some say it is!
I stumbled upon Boondocks. Seriously! I was driving around a year or so ago out in the middle of knowhere and there it was. Boondocks is pretty similar in menu selection to Sambos in that they are both known as "crab-houses". The staff at Boondocks is super-friendly and I had a pile of crabs in front of me that was simply amazing!

Mari Monti Restorante
(Bruce Silver - Racing Electronics Pick)
Mari Mari is a favorite of Racing Electronic's Bruce Silver. He took me their for the first time last year.
Mari Monti is a casual, but more upscale restaurant than some of our other Dover food-finds. It's another "don't be fooled by it's strip-mall location" places. It offers a great menu of gourmet italian dishes. The seafood is fresh and wonderful. MD and the RE-boys will be there at some point during the weekend.

Cool Springs Fish Bar and Restaurant
(Gary Johnson - NASCAR Media Group Pick)
NASCAR Media Group cameraman Gary Johnson found this place a few years back when we were both working on the tv show Totally NASCAR. Don't be fooled by it's strip-mall location. Cool Springs is a great place for eclectic dishes and seafood favorites. Gets big points on the yum-scale.
