Delaware Wild Lands’ annual Wild Game Dinners at Cantwell’s Tavern and Abbott’s Grill are always a hot ticket. The Cantwell’s dinner recently sold out again, for the sixth year in a row. However, tickets are still available for a similar event on March 22, 2018 at Abbott’s Grill, an award-winning restaurant in Milford.
Tickets include a 5-course gourmet dinner of locally-sourced wild game and alcohol pairings chosen by the chef to accompany each course. This event is a benefit for Delaware Wild Lands, a conservation nonprofit organization.
Executive Chef Kevin Reading will create and prepare each dish exclusively for this event. The 2018 menu will be announced in March. Last year’s feast of wild game at Abbott’s Grill included such dishes as Venison Brechiola Salad, Duck Liver Pate & Salmon, Game Bird Gumbo, and Wild Game Cassolet with Venison & Duck Confit.
Delaware Wild Lands owns and manages 3,500 acres of beach and wildlife habitat at Milford Neck in Kent County, near Abbott’s Grill. Guests at the Wild Game Dinner will learn the latest updates about land conservation in Delaware and also have the chance to win door prizes.
Deadline for purchasing advance tickets is March 15, 2018. Event sponsors include: Burris Logistics, Jerry’s Inc. Paving & Excavating, and L&W Insurance. Tickets and more information are available at wild-game-dinner-at-abbotts-grill.eventbrite.com or by calling DWL’s office at (302) 378-2736.
