This place is pretty awesome. I think the string bean rolls was the best thing we ate there and we ate quite a selection of foods off the menu. Next time, I'm ordering this for dinner! It's like a giant pancake with some kind of brown sauce and lots of string beans.
We have slacked on updating the blog but we have actually accomplished a few list items!
On 6/20 (that's exactly 3 months ago for those of you keeping score at home!) we made a trip to the JFX Farmer’s Market. I wish I could remember more details about that day, but sadly my brain storage is all filled up with things less exciting then the farmer's market. Anyway, our group consisted of Melissa, Ryan, Morgan, Shane and myself. I remember we ate some tasty stuff, met a really awesome man who sold us a giant bag of veggies for $5 and met the owners of our favorite beef, Hickory Chance Farms. If you are a beef eater, I highly suggest checking out their products. They sell them at lots of farms, markets or you can buy from them directly. It was a hot, but beautiful and luckily for us the JFK provided some much need shade!
On 8/29, we knocked the Blood Mary's with Old Bay Rimmer off the list. The previous day we completed a pub crawl and decide the best way to recover from an entire day of drinking is too drink more for breakfast! Since it's only a hop, skip and jump from Canton Square, we walked from Ryan and Morgan's house to Speakeasy Saloon to grab some breakfast. We weren't planning on completing a list item that morning but the Baltimore Foodie Challenge gods made it so! The food was delicious and the Blood Mary's were even better.
**Warning - Please keep in mind these pictures were taken the morning following a pub crawl! **
Tune in next time for another update on a tasty Baltimore treat!
This was quite a while ago, but we all made it out for snowballs in Essex one night. Flavors included Reese's Pieces, Chocolate Coconut with marshmallow, Blood Orange, and....Shane, what flavor was yours again?!
On Saturday May 8th we knock #67 Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding at Ale Mary’s off the list.
We were downtown celebrating a great friend's birthday that started with Lucha VaVoom and ended with delicious food and desert from Ale Mary's.
We shared an order of Crabby Tots which were amazing. They were devoured quickly so sadly there is not a picture of them.
Morgan ate Mr. Boh's Mussels
Ryan had Fleet Street Cheese Steak Sub
Shane had the Sweet N' Savory Ribs. Notice the Crabby Tot carnage in the back left.
I had the Thankful Turkey Sandwich which was basically Thanksgiving on bread. It was awesome.
We lucked out and had an awesome waiter, who didn't seem too annoyed with the druken shenanigans that were occurring at the table. When desert time came he talked us into the Kitchen Sink which consists of ChipWich Sunday, Big Ol' Brownie and the Krispy Cream Bread Pudding. He made a compelling case, so who were we to disagree.
We may have mentioned it was Kathy's birthday so the very awesome waiter brought her dessert with a candle!
It was every bit as tasty as the waiter promised!
On the way out we asks a guy outside smoking to take a picture and he assumed we were tourists......Say "OLD BAY"!
These are way late...a lot going on in recent days. So everyone told us we shouldn't go to the Sip N' Bite to eat unless we had been out to the bars first because the food was no good, but I thought it was pretty tasty. It was pretty typical diner food, which I usually like, so it suited me just fine! It was also a nice change because we didn't have to wait to get a table or have a reservation to get into the restaraunt :)
I apologize for being a slacker, but life has been a little crazy.
We actually knocked this item off the list on 3/13. As always we had a great dinner and time at Sabatino's. Our waitress was really funny and didn't seem to mind our general ridiculousness.
As expected The Famous Bookmaker Salad, invented by a bookie named Al Isella was delicious. Michael Olesker actually talks about this salad and some Sabatino's history in his book Journeys to the heart of Baltimore. As a side note, I had to read this book a few years for a sociology class and while I didn't really care for the writing style, I enjoyed learning a lot about the history of the city's most known inhabitants. I have lived here my whole live and didn't know most of the information in the book.
Anyway on to the pictures!
I am posting this a bit late, but Saturday night was a fun-filled and friend-filled night of eating....we literally gorged ourselves on the food of Canton. We started out the night planning to meet at Jack's Bistro to complete #38 (Macaroni and Cheese with bittersweet chocolate from Jack's Bistro)....not the best laid plans. The place was packed with a two hour wait, but the hostess was very accomodating to our party of 8 and got us a reservation for 10:30. With that in place, we decided that we would knock out #90 (Margarita in a Hubcap from Nacho Mama's). When we got there, guess what? two hour wait for dinner...but no problema! we ended up at Jasa Kabob, not on the list but Deee-licious. By the time we finished up with kabobs, baba ganoush, and some BYOB from down the road, we were definitely ready for the hubcap margarita. Since we had our name on the list down at Nacho Mama's we were able to get in and fulfill #90, as you can see here! It was good, but very strong. I'm not complaining though!
Last night was delicious!
