Delaware is second in bagel eating in the country, new study says
Check out these 23 restaurants for a crab feast.
Summer’s eating doesn’t get better than a big pile of steamed crabs. Here’s where to find them.
Delaware loves its bagels more than most of the country, according to a new study.
The First State ranks second in the country for personal bagel consumption. The number of bagels a person in Delaware eats in a year is about 72. That’s six bagels per month.
Maine is the state that eats the most bagels, with Mainers averaging one more bagel per year than Delawareans at 73. The study said the average American eats around 38 bagels every year.
The study was done by ShaneCo’s The Loupe, which surveyed over 3,000 people from around the U.S. about their bagel habits and preferences.
Delawareans order everything bagels the most, according to the study, and either get a plain cream cheese or a sausage, egg and cheese sandwich most often.

Delaware’s newest Chick-fil-A has set an opening date
Chick-fil-A reportedly launching its own streaming platform
The fast food chain has been expanding its footprint in various industries, including children’s games and animations.
Yes, Delaware, you’re getting another Chick-fil-A.
On Thursday, Oct. 3, the newest location of the cultishly popular fried chicken spot will open at 4008 N. Dupont Highway, just south of Wilmington near Minquadale.
The opening date underscores Chick-Fil-A’s ever-increasing speed at plunking down new locations. It was just four months ago that construction fencing first came up on North Dupont Highway, in front of a self-storage facility.
The new location will be 5,400 square feet, according to plans submitted with the county, with two drive-thru lanes – a feature that’s become commonplace at fast food restaurants across the country to accommodate advance orders from phone apps and delivery websites. Chick-fil-A’s dedicated phone-app lane is called Mobile Thru.
A nearby Chick-fil-A location at Governor’s Square in Bear has also submitted plans with the county to demolish and rebuild with a double-drive thru.
Even before opening, the location has been busy.
The North Dupont Chick-fil-A has been busy delivering 50 Chick-fil-A sandwiches a day to nearby businesses, after a Facebook contest designed to test out potential delivery sites.
The first winner was apparently the staff of Wilmington Airport, who called it their “clucky day” in an Instagram post last week, while posing for a picture alongside North Dupont franchisee Angelo Santos.
When it opens, the North Dupont location will be Delaware’s 16th location and also the closest Chick-fil-A to the city limits of Wilmington, which remains Chickless.
The new restaurant will bring 130 new jobs, according to a company press release, and plans to participate in a Chick-fil-A Shared Table program donating surplus food to shelters, food banks, soup kitchens and other nonprofits.
North Dupont’s franchisee, Angelo Santos, grew up in the Delaware County town of Ridley and held down his first job at Chick-fil-A at the age of 16.
A decade later, he wrote, he’s a franchise owner in Delaware.
“I am most looking forward to being a beacon of hope in the New Castle community,” Santos wrote in a statement. “I want to bring real change by providing career opportunities and leadership growth to my team members.”
In celebration of the North Dupont opening, parent Chick-fil-A, Inc. has donated $25,000 to nonprofit Feeding America, which partners with the Food Bank of Delaware. The restaurant will also award a prize of free Chick-fil-A entrees for a year to 100 “local heroes” making an impact in the New Castle area.
Chick-Fil-A will open on Oct. 3 at 4008 N. Dupont Highway. Hours are 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday to Saturday. Drive-thru open until 10 p.m. Details at chick-fil-a.com.

Hackers target Delaware public library system, investigation underway
Since last week, Delaware residents haven’t been able to use computers or the Internet at any of the state’s public libraries due to a cyber attack.
Signs are plastered on doors at different libraries warning people not to log into the Wi-Fi and sharing that all PCs are out of order.
State library officials told NBC10 that a ransomware attack has taken all public library internet options off the table.
“It’s almost always some sort of phishing email or some sort of social engineering is what we call it when you trick a user into doing something,” said Matt Barnett, CEO of cyber security firm Sevn-X.
Barnett, who is not involved in the Delaware investigation, adds that he thinks the hackers are probably in Russia or Eastern Europe and that they weren’t likely trying to mess with Delaware libraries because they had some vendetta.
Barnett adds that he believes the hackers just put out phishing emails all over the world waiting for a hit, and they got one in Delaware, hoping the state will pay up.
“When it comes to ransomware, it’s all about low-hanging fruit for these attackers. They’ll go after anybody and everybody they can,” Barnett said.
NBC10 asked state officials if any personal information was taken during this attack but did not get any response.
Currently, visitors can still check out books and use other library services.
