Rehoboth Beach Delaware 19971United States After decades of operating a fine dining restaurant a block from the White House in Washington D.C., Ellen Kassoff and Todd Gray are bringing their signature dish to Rehoboth Beach, but not the formalities. “For 22 years we’ve been a block from the White House, now we’re a block from the beach,” said Kassoff, during a recent interview. “Federal Fritter is going to be street food that can be enjoyed while walking and exploring.” Federal Fritter is the latest venture for Kassoff and Gray, a husband and wife team that has owned and operated D.C.’s Equinox on Connecticut Avenue since 1999. Federal Fritter is going to shed the layers of formality, said Kassoff.
