Hummus

Hampden: Souvlaki

I’m not going to lie – I was slightly disappointed by the lack of cheese in the Spanakopita at Hickory Ridge Grill. I was definitely craving a better rendition of the dish. My roommate and I were in Hampden and we were both hungry in the middle of the […]

Soft Pretzels

Fells Point: Slainte

Some friends from college and I were meeting for brunch and decided to try out Slainte in Fells Point. Mainly, because it was recently on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. But also because I love corned beef hash, and I would guess that an Irish Pub would make a better […]

Pastry Case

Hamilton: Fenwick Bakery

A friend and I were craving donuts, but not the type of donuts that are handcrafted in a hipster paradise. We wanted the type of donuts from a bakery that has been in business for decades and changed hands from one family member to another. A quick search brought me […]

French Onion Soup

Downtown Baltimore: Luna Del Sea

Recently, Aaron, the marketing manager at Luna Del Sea reached out to me via Twitter to invite me to the restaurant for dinner. Luna Del Sea is located in Downtown Baltimore, near the convention center. There aren’t many restaurants over there on Pratt Street that aren’t chains, so I was excited […]

Locust Point: 1157 Bar + Kitchen

If you’re in Baltimore and haven’t followed JZEats on Instagram, you’re missing out. She’s constantly sharing images of delicious looking food that will make whatever you’re eating look like a sad desk lunch. Jordan and I connected last week and bonded over our love of food then decided to […]

Brisket Plate

Hampden: Blue Pit BBQ

Blue Pit BBQ is perhaps the newest locally owned BBQ joint to open in Baltimore. Not to throw any shade at Dinosaur BBQ, it’s good there, but I prefer spending my money on local establishments. A friend and I both really love meat, specifically brisket. After spending a […]

Mediterranean Dips

Columbia: Hickory Ridge Grill

Update: Hickory Ridge Grill is now closed. In one of those many strip malls in Columbia that looks exactly like the rest of Howard County, there’s Hickory Ridge Grill. The restaurant specializes in American food, with a Mediterranean twist which is perfect because my friends and I were […]

Caesar Salad
