Deviled Eggs

A peek at the new Alexander Brown Restaurant in Baltimore

categories: RESTAURANTS

Last week, I was invited to the media preview of the new Alexander Brown Restaurant (135 East Baltimore Street) in Downtown Baltimore.  The renovated bank building on the corner of Baltimore and Calvert Street was the oldest investment bank in the country built in 1901.  It also has the oldest flushing indoor toilet in the United States, but of course it’s non-functional and  tucked away behind a locked door… but a fun fact nonetheless.  This building has bones, it survived the Great Baltimore Fire in 1904 and continued to operate as a bank until 2016.

The newly renovated 150-seat restaurant opens its doors on Monday, February 4th and will offer lunch, dinner and brunch service.  Guests can also sit at the bar and the bar/lounge area and order food from an abbreviated bar menu.

City Paper’s Best Of Baltimore 2015

categories: FYI

I love when a publication releases their “Best Of” recommendations because I’m always curious to see if my favorite hot spots and restaurants make the list.

Baltimore’s City Paper released their annual issue and I have to say I agree with their findings.  Below are three that caught my attention because I totally agree…

BOB2015

  1.  Best Deviled Eggs –  Funny thing is, I had their deviled eggs literally two days ago and I thought they were delicious.  A little pricey though, $6.00 for 3 eggs.   My friend however thought they were too salty and tart.  I enjoyed them because that’s they way my family makes deviled eggs and I’m assuming that tart taste was a little mustard. Yummm!
  2. Best Cheap Breakfast –  I absolutely LOVE Wyman Park Deli.  I frequent that area for work and their breakfast is cheap and good.  When I order a breakfast platter I get a heaping scoop of home fries, three eggs and eight slices of bacon! The cost of the platter is around $7.00 …lots of bang for my buck.
  3. Worst Chipotle – Sadly the Hampden Chipotle is one of the worst I’ve visited in Baltimore.  They are always out of something and the staff is so blah…no enthusiasm, no urgency. And for some reason they are always sitting out in the dining area chilling on their phones.  It definitely made me switch back to the Johns Hopkins Univ. Chipotle on St. Paul.

Check out the full list here and tell me what you think.  What are some that you agree with?
