In my chronological order of awareness: push up ice cream rockets, push up bras, and now push up sushi in a tube – isn’t life great. Just like the ice cream rockets with a stick at the bottom you push the sushi up and “pop them in your mouth.”
One of Baltimore’s finest chocolatiers is closing up one of their shops at the end of business this Saturday, April 3rd. A big boohoo for those in Timonium but there is still time to get your Easter chocolates. Get all the details: 
I’m coming clean with all of you, I eat junk food – you know the kind; corn tortillas, pretzel sandwiches with cheese stuff in the middle and Cheetos. I am Pavlov’s theory in application, turn on the television and I must eat and carrot sticks just doesn’t cut it.
Just in from one the city's favorite Italian eateries is their expansion to serving lunch. Come on down to Hampden HON and have some pasta at Grano on Chestnut for a noon time treat. Get the full details: Hot out of the pasta bowl and on your lunch plate
You say you love bacon, but do you love pork? Are you enamored with the whole hog? Can you get enough swine to dine? Coming to a city near you is Cochon555.
You definitely feel the spirit of this Italian restaurant’s tag line ‘live by the sun, love by the moon’ when you enter its Tuscan gold interior and are greeted by Christa Rossi, wife and partner to Chef Davide Rossi. Christa met Davide over 10 years ago when working at Baltimore’s Sotto Sopra Restaurant. She worked the front of the house while Davide was one of the chefs. It was love, marriage, and then a move to Davide’s home country, Italy, where they remained for a couple of years. Lucky for us they came back to the United States where the pair opened a seasonal restaurant in Maine’s Boothbay Harbor called Ports of Italy and now, Baltimore’s Pazza Luna Restaurant.
How we traveled in the past in the United States starts with horseback, covered wagon and then the rails. From the trains, planes, buses and automobiles our choices updated and became one with the times. Today we are offered wi-fi options enabling us to surf the net on planes and buses. What hasn’t gotten better is the food. Microwaved edibles, sometimes unintelligible food stuffs, are served nowadays. Have you had the yellow cheese stuff with corn chips from the train’s snack car?
Hot off the blog press from Suzanne Loudermilk’s Good Taste is an announcement that Anthony Bourdain and Eric Ripert will be at the Hippodrome Theatre on Saturday, May 22nd for an interactive talk with Q&A. The foodie in me is jumping up and down and going “oh boy, oh boy”…maybe it should be “oh chef, oh chef”
Do you realize that the convenience of having a supermarket near you, offering healthy food choices at competitive pricing is a blessing that we take for granted? Neighborhoods in Baltimore’s Washington Village and East Baltimore offer little in any healthy food alternatives or as the Baltimore City Health Department press release stated the neighborhoods are a “food desert.”
Nothing like a little Jameson Irish Whiskey to kick off your St Patrick’s Day celebrating and wouldn’t it be nice if it had “happy hour” pricing. Well it does, and will tomorrow, March 17th, the anniversary of the day the St Patrick chased the snakes out of Ireland.
It is all about green on St. Patrick’s Day, the wearing of the green, and if you wear green on St. Patrick’s Day you save some green and get a FREE order of guacamole, which is green.
Forget the Good Humor truck, there is a grilled Caesar salad and crème brûlée truck coming. Fresh, delicious grilled Caesar salad with your options of plain or adding free-range chicken, shrimp and steak will be offered. The grilled Caesar truck remembers your sweet tooth, something beyond Tastycakes, brilliantly decadent, crème brûlées. My little gourmet heart is pounding!
Like Mother Hubbard, there are families whose cupboards are empty. Hunger isn’t just in some far away country; it is here in the United States, Maryland and in Baltimore. Today kicks off the U.S.
Outback Steakhouse has a mission, a mission beyond their food on your plate though it is the ends to the means. In like the March lion, Outback’s Operation Homefront kicked off yesterday with the ultimate goal of donating a minimum of one million dollars to U.S. troops and their families.
A new burrito truck is hitting Baltimore’s asphalt. They claim 'real” Mexican burritos, tacos and more.' Ole! “Always fresh, always fast and always delicious” is on their logo. We’ll have to wait and see if they live up to their bravado.
