Two restaurants in the greater Wilmington area will be the focus of upcoming episodes of America’s Best Restaurants.
Host Jacalyn Mains and videographer Michael “Taylor” Dick were filming at Rumcow at 121 Grace St. in Wilmington and at Hollands Shelter Creek, 756 Ocean Road in Holly Ridge, on Wednesday, Feb. 7. Episodes will feature popular dishes and on-camera interviews and will appear online and on social media later.
At Rumcow, owners Robert and Jennifer Becker and Erika Leyva will be discussing how they took over this business beginning in 2022.
Robert Becker, who is also active-duty military, said they were impressed with the social media outreach of America’s Best Restaurants. He also thought it was an ideal time to show off updates to the restaurant’s menu and interior.
For the show, chefs prepared their Wagyu flank steak with Thai soba noodle salad, the crispy pork belly pockets appetizer with peach chutney and fig goat cheese, and the fried chicken cornbread sliders with fried green tomato pimento cheese and pepper jelly.
