The respected restaurateur/chef, Steve Wecker of Iron Bridge Wine
Company, and his partner Vince Culotta, former manager of Iron Bridge have
created two restaurant concepts under one roof at the Columbia, Maryland’s One Merriweather building : CURED Table and Tap, a casual dining
experience and meander to the back of CURED
to their speakeasy concept, 18th
& 21st , where those in the know, enjoy live entertainment,
dancing and upscale dining in the intimate 88 seat dining room.
CURED
Table & Tap – Open NOW - Lunch and Dinner
The name - CURED Table & Tap - is derived from the large
charcuterie and raw bar that is the focal point of the dining room. "CURED
was designed as a casual dining space. People always tell us that Iron Bridge
is kind of like Cheers with wine, so we wanted to create that same vibe,”
stated Steve Wecker.
The menu offers humble American cuisine (classic comfort food)
featuring farm-to-table appetizers, charcuterie and raw bar options, hearty
sandwiches, and entrees including distinctive seafood, poultry, and beef
selections. Menu choices include Po’ Boy (masa crusted oysters, arugula, tomato,
Fresno remoulade, hoagie roll), Sausage Flatbread (chicken sausage, cherry
tomatoes, charred broccoli, mozzarella) and Pan Roasted Salmon (confit
fingerling potatoes, spinach, romesco sauce, olive tapenade).
Maryland craft beers, wine,
and creative cocktails will highlight local products from The Baltimore Whiskey
Company, Goonda Beersmiths, and Old Westminster Winery. Cocktails include The
Brave Little Gherkin (Rittenhouse rye, pickle brine ice cubes) and Boom Boom
Sticks (Lost Ark White Rum, Lyon Gold Rum, Lyon Dark Rum, orgeat, espresso
tincture, and lime).
18th
& 21st – Opening date scheduled for 2nd week of June
– evenings only
Named
after the constitutional amendment that enacted prohibition and the subsequent
amendment that repealed it, 18th & 21st is a modern take on a
sophisticated, prohibition era supper club.
The menu offers modern American cuisine featuring
handcrafted small plates, mid-Atlantic seafood and classic cuts of beef.
Eclectic menu items include whole roasted Bronzino, dry aged steak, roasted
bone marrow, lobster poutine and duck pastrami. Handcrafted and barrel-aged
cocktails include Smoked Old Fashioned (Henry McKenna 100 Proof Bourbon, Brown
Sugar Simple Syrup, Smoked House Bitters) and The Peat and The Petals
(Laphroaig 10yr Scotch, Saint Elder).
The charcuterie and raw bar items are available at both concepts.
Christopher Lewis is the Executive Chef and comes with stellar
credentials, i.e. The Milton Inn, The Brass Elephant and the Iron Bridge Wine
Company. Like all chefs of quality,
Chris’s focus is on locally grown and raised ingredients…i.e. dry aged beef and
regional oysters.
Eat Well –
Do Good
Owners, Wecker and Culotta, were named corporate philanthropist of
the year by the Community Foundation of Howard County. Right now, they are working on a fundraiser
to benefit those so tragically affected
by the recent flooding.
