anyone interested? hello?
-
If folks are still interested, I'd set up a $20 (or most likely less) Tuesday at the Uzbek place. Silk Road Choyhona Bistro in the next few weeks. I can do the 14th, 21st, or the 28th.

I think having a restaurant empire is not unique to Baltimore. I'm ok with it- the more competition, the better the food will be. I did notice when talking to friends in Hampden that, in this economy, there are a lot more restaurants and eateries opening while more retail places are closing down.

I went to Artifact Coffee, this morning, for breakfast on their official opening day. It's the new coffeeshop/cafe from Spike Gjerde, located in the Union Mill teachers' residences across from where Bloody Bucket karaoke used to be held. The space is lovely- very similar to Woodberry Kitchen's restored warehouse feel. The menu looks to be light breakfast, pastries, and for later in the day, sandwiches, soups & salads. I had a great Guatemalan pour over coffee on a soft opening day. This morning, I tried their iced coffee, and had a delicious scrapple, fried egg, & hot sauce sandwich on an English muffin. It's exciting that Woodberry is offering less expensive, takeaway fare. From what I hear is they are still looking to open a burger place up on Falls & 38th, and a charcuterie/butcher & cocktail place on the Avenue above the old pharmacy on Chestnut.

Dining in Ocean City

Considering the paucity of OC posts- I say move it and merge it. -

Well- Delaware Beaches is in the Intrepid Traveller section, and geographically- those places are closer than OC. -

Shouldn't this be in the Intrepid Traveler thread? -
The prices are on their menu online. It's what I expect to pay for exceptional Japanese food.

Well, I just went for lunch, and it was pretty good. Had a nice glass of the Stillwater table beer, and talked with the bartender who was enthusiastic. I looked at the beer cocktails which look pretty great. Started with crispy pig ears with poached egg- good and fresh flavors. Then I had a burger which I think was mostly tenderloin that came with a beer cheese sauce and steak sauce. For dessert, had a praline ice cream on a poached pear. I'm looking forward to returning to try their dinner menu soon. And I think I will just call it OLAR from now on- still think the name's corny.

I'm hoping to come, camera in tow. I'll figure out something to bring. -
I'm happy to have Pabu in Baltimore- at last, serious Japanese cuisine in town. Chef is shipping in some fish from Tsukiji in Tokyo for sushi, and the izakaya and robata dishes are good as well. I started with a good sake cocktail, but I would love to go back with a less teetotaling group to try out their sake menu. My favorite items were the shishito peppers with bonito and shoyu, raw oysters with ponzu, the skewered chicken hearts, beef tendon, and kariganebone. The unagidon was decadent with a slab of foie gras on top, and the sushi is probably the best in the city now. Pics and more details are on my blog here

I don't think I'm making this a personal issue. You just want to be more constructive if you're going to lay down a line a like "mediocer(sic) overpriced food". It's like writing a review for a movie and saying "it sucks". We at this board want to hear about good and bad experiences but you have to back it up with some detail and constructive criticism. Why do you feel the food is overpriced? Why do you feel the quality is mediocre?

Thanks goodeats. I would agree. borderdog, you really should expand on your critique of Woodberry. I think it has been around long enough that it is a Baltimore institution, and while I would agree the food is a bit pricey, I had one of the most inexpensive over the top meals here last fall. For a hundred bucks, I shared a whole pig's head with a have dozen sides of vegetables with 10 people. It was great and a surprising bargain for Woodberry. In regards to Baltimore's lack of "institutions", I'm not sure how long you've been in Baltimore, but there are quite a few of them: the Charleston group, Chameleon, all the casual places in Canton/Fells (Peter's Inn, Jack's Bistro, Salt), and a whole lot of up and comers (Waterfront, Wit & Wisdom, B&O).

For lunch, I second the crabcake at Faidley's in Lexington Market- get it fried for sure. You can get fresh Berger cookies in the Market for dessert as well. There are a bunch of new dinner places in the Downtown vicinity- Wit & Wisdom at the Four Seasons, Harbor East, Chazz coal oven pizzeria & Italian food, Thames St. Oyster in Fells Point, Waterfront Kitchen in Fells Point. For other lunches, if you want to venture to Fed Hill there are good burgers at Abbey Burger Bistro, you can get tacos with the freshest corn tortillas at Tortilleria SInaloa in Fells, you can get corned beef sandwiches and more at Attman's Deli, and a great fish pie at Piedegrotta in Little Italy. Oh and Heavy Seas Ale house just opened near there as well, but I have not been.

I'm very much looking forward to a Japanese restaurant run by an actual Japanese chef in Baltimore. Most places are currently Korean or Chinese run sushi & roll places. Pubu, Japanese for "pub", located in the Four Seasons at Harbor East is scheduled to open next week. They are planning to serve izakaya style food from chef Michael Mina and chef Ken Tominga (Hana in Sonoma). I'm thinking of making it a dinner for Mother's Day weekend. I will certainly report back.

Hampden is slowly becoming a real destination for dining in Baltimore. Luigi's, an Italian market, just opened. Coming soon is the Hampden Food Market and a "takeout/burger" place from Woodberry Kitchen. Last fall, Daniela's opened on the Avenue specializing in handmade pasta dishes and desserts. Danela, who is Sardinian, used to make pastas for Grano and Sotto Sopra. The place is more of a carryout, not an actual restaurant. You can go in and pick items from her case and they will reheat them for you. Not ideal, but is has something to do with food licensing in the city. Her specialty is culingionis, a Sardinian potato dumpling with saffron & mint served with a creamy sauce. She also makes large tasty meatballs, lasagna, and ravioli. Her pastries are also quite good including tiramisu and sfogliatelle, a shell shaped pastry with many layers filled with ricotta.
