As a guest of Dorchester County
this summer I spent two days with my agenda packed with the county’s offerings;
dining, aquaculture, shopping, music, an evening’s stay at a bed and breakfast,
vineyard tour to the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge. No one story can encompass, nor should it,
all that there is to do and enjoy in this Maryland County. This is my final segment of the Tales of Dorchester
County – nationally recognized, award-winning, fine dining Bistro Poplar in
downtown Cambridge Maryland.
Chef Ian Campbell, a native of
Maryland’s Eastern Shore returned to his hometown in 2007 to open his own
restaurant, Bistro Poplar. After working with numerous highly acclaimed chefs
at restaurants of renown his resume listed the French Laundry and working with Chef
Cindy Wolf.
Chef Campbell is inspired by the
simple yet well prepared French bistro cuisine along with his nods to the foods
of the Mediterranean and Asia. Of course, seafood from right there from
Choptank River plays a prominent role as does produce, dairy and meats from the
nearby farms.
