Catch Modern Seafood Cuisine
Encore's Best Of Winners Announced!
Congratulations Chef Rhodes on winning Wilmington's Best Chef for the third year in a row! Thanks to all those who voted!
Best Dish NC 2007, Sponsored by Goodness Grows
Wednesday, October 17 was a banner day for Wilmington chef Keith Rhodes. That was the day the star chef and restaurateur received—not just one, but two—1st Place “Best Dish in North Carolina” awards at the N.C. State Fair.
Rhodes won “Best Dish in North Carolina” in the categories of Fine Dining and Casual Dining. The Fine Dining award recognizes the food at Deluxe, an established Downtown restaurant known for its eclectic seasonal menu and celebrity guest list. Top honors in Casual Dining went to Catch, Rhodes’ own restaurant which he and his wife Angela opened last November. Both restaurants are renowned for their signature seafood dishes and committed to local fisheries, farms, and markets in order to obtain the freshest ingredients possible.
With culinary tourism on the rise, Rhodes’ culinary achievements come as welcome news to Wilmington and North Carolina’s Cape Fear Coast, a travel destination known for its island beaches, historic riverfront town, and fresh seafood.
