Lou Ortiz loves beer — The Delaware native is the executive chef at Thompson Island Brewing Company, located on Route 1 near the entrance to downtown Rehoboth Beach. The restaurant, part of the SoDel Concepts hospitality group, opened in late 2019, and it’s one of many beach establishments focusing on ales, IPAs, stouts and sours.
This is not the first time that the chef has worked in a brewpub kitchen. Ortiz has been with Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats, Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant in Newark and Victory Brewing Company in Downingtown, Pa., as well as the Blackbird Public House in Denver. “I love the brewery vibe,” he says.

While living in Hawaii, Lisa Daisey-DiFebo developed an appreciation for fresh food. “They call Hawaii the ‘garden island,’” says Daisey-DiFebo, who was 19 when she moved to the Pacific. “It seemed like things were growing everywhere.”
Working at a juice bar only deepened her interest in raw ingredients. “The owner taught me how to make these beautiful juices, frosties and smoothies,” say the Indian River High School graduate. “She was my Hawaiian mom.”
