Citing only “family problems” in his Facebook post, Rudy Gilbert has closed his cheese/sandwich concept on Baltimore Avenue in downtown Rehoboth. Rudy's special cheese plates were very popular, along with his soups, salads, pizzas and baked goods.
His cozy little shop will be missed.
Rudy, you will be missed! Your shop was like a trip to Europe! My daughters insisted we visit every time they were in Lewes with us. We wish you the best and thank you for the great food and cheese.
This one is hard to swallow. Having opened just prior to the shut-down last year, Rudy struggled courageously throughout 2020, bringing much more than just cheese plates to customers. Incredible and unique pizzas (dough sourced from Pasqualini’s; duck confit pizza; crab & corn pizza!), great cheese and chocolate fondues, and customized sandwiches. All of our summer guests loved the food and atmosphere and always wanted to go back. But locally he was underappreciated. He is a true native and deserved much support for his micro business. I hope he can return some day.
