Mount Washington: Chiyo

I have two favorite sushi spots in Baltimore, a downtown one in Fells and an uptown one in Mount Washington. One of my good friends lives in Owings Mills and suggested that we meet for sushi and sake on a recent Friday evening. Chiyo Sushi, my uptown sushi favorite […]

Crab Rangoons

The Stadiums: Ruby 8

Update: Ruby 8 is now closed. Since the Horseshoe Casino opened, I’ve stopped in a few times to visit Guy’s Baltimore Kitchen and Johnny Sanchez. Ruby 8 Noodles + Sushi has always been on my radar, but for one reason or another, the spot has always been vetoed. […]

Tour of Samos

Greektown: Samos

In Greektown, just north of Canton, there is an abundance of Greek restaurants (duh), but only one of them offers a whole menu tour of their Greek offerings. A friend heard about Samos offering their ‘Tour of Samos’ and figured it would be the perfect group outing. After […]

Chips and Salsa

Canton: La Tolteca

Update: La Tolteca is now closed I have a group of friends that really enjoys Mexican Food. To the point where I think whenever we get together, it is for tacos, burritos, or something of the like. I had heard mixed reviews about La Tolteca in Canton but it was […]

The Stadiums: Johnny Sanchez

Fried Pickles

Little Italy: Mustang Alleys

Hand Cut Thyme & Sea Salt Chips

Roland Park: Johnny’s

Tony Foreman and Cindy Wolf own five restaurants and two wine cellars in Baltimore. While I’ve heard great things about all of them, the only one I’ve visited was Johnny’s in Roland Park. But if their other restaurants are as good as Johnny’s, I’ll gladly make my rounds to […]
