Sabatino's

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!

Wockenfuss and Blue Moon Cafe

It's hard to tell but we are all eating Wockenfuss candy here...a night well spent.

The candy really set off our appetite for late night breakfast, so we went to eat at Bel-Loc Diner in Towson, only to find that it was closed...onward to Blue Moon Cafe we went at 1 AM!  We feasted on Potato Pancakes, Country Scramble, some crazy biscuits with whole raspberry preserves, Cap'n Crunch French Toast, Pancakes, and a Mexican Omelet. Coffee was outstanding too.

And the highlight of the evening...Jack's Bistro!

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!

Gotta love those faces!

And our finished product/creative art project...

After Nacho Mama's we headed back to Jack's Bistro for some delicious drinks and appetizers to round out the night. Never having been there before, we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. It was pretty much the best food (and drinks) ever!  I'm not joking, the food was perfectly prepared, the drinks couldn't have been better, there was just the right amount of sweet in the desserts and cheese in the macaroni.

I had the peanut butter and jelly shot first, and holy cow! I did not know peanut butter rum existed until Saturday evening.  Let me just say, it turned my whole world upside down.  After we sat down I tried the Elvis Martini, which was chocolate and banana, and Shane had the peanut butter and chocolate martini. Both were outstanding. Ryan indulged in a super fresh coconut mojito too!

As for the food, we ate poutine, fried s'mores, mac and cheese, and a special fried egg with pork fat.  Overall, everything was awesome, definitely my new birthday dinner restaurant of choice....mmm can't wait to see what the next thing on the list has in store for us!
