The spinoff of Hampden’s
successful The Food Market, La Food Marketa opens its doors, Thursday,
September 8th for dinner at Quarry Lake off Greenspring Avenue
featuring the flavors of the Americas. Chef
owner Chad Gauss states, “The menu will include smaller plates chiquita and “pequeño - items like cilantro
tuna, buffalo chicken taquitos, roasted lamb ribs, secret nachos (complete with
squeeze bottle cheese) and larger grande dishes like Corona shrimp, beef tenderloin
tostada, “la meatloaf” - veal, beef, peppers, onion, mesquite rice, roasted
salsa verde - and veggie burger enchiladas and more. Guests can build tacos
using everything from lamb barbacoa to tequila beef short ribs to ahi tuna and
crispy fish.” Chad adds, “And, yes, we’ll also serve simply grilled meats and
fish - and of course, we’ll have a bangin’ burger.”
La Food Marketa’s head chef is
longtime Food Market employee, John Bedingfield. Chad says of John, “He started
at the bottom, learning the ropes in the kitchen at The Food Market. We have a
similar style and it makes perfect sense to incorporate him to lead the effort
here.”
Tying in the flavors of the
Americas, their full bar is offering
margaritas, mojitos and sangrias by the glass and the pitcher, a full cocktail
menu and beers. Opening drafts include Union Craft Brewing Duckpin, Dogfish
Namaste, National Bohemian and Dos Equis. Two signature cocktails give a nod to
the restaurant’s location: The Pikesville Colada - Cruzan white rum, mango
puree, agave nectar, chipotle syrup, lime and The Greenspringer - reposado
tequila, lime, cilantro, avocado, cayenne & salt rim. Those who do not
imbibe will not be left out, non-alcoholic drinks include Stubborn fountain
sodas, Mexican sodas, Jarritos sodas - tamarind, lime, fruit punch, grapefruit
- as well as coffee, tea and soft drinks.
