Hey all, this is Jess Blumberg from On The Town, guest-blogging for Suzanne. We had a funny moment at the magazine yesterday when managing editor Max Weiss told me that I had to try The Scooch sandwich at 13.5% Wine Bar in Hampden. I asked if she meant the one at Isabella's in Little Italy. We realized that the delicious Scooch—a [...]

After last night’s game at Camden Yards, Yankees Derek Jeter and catcher Jorge Posada headed to Sullivan’s Steakhouse for a victory celebration, I guess. (The O’s bowed to the Yankees, 5-1, in the first of a three-game series.)
The duo downed cowboy rib-eyes, lobster tails, and margaritas, according to Andrea Kunicky of Maroon PR. I hope [...]

I once baked chocolate-chip cookies in my car on a hot summer day. Really! It was an experiment, albeit a slightly failed one.

I love having an epiphany. I had my most recent one when I was staying at the Palmer House in Chicago last week, thinking about what the theme of my blog [...]

Not really. But when I read Elizabeth Large’s blog about the Food Network’s hamburger issue, which named the Heart Attack on a Plate at Mother’s Federal Hill Grille as one of its 50 ultimate burgers, I did get palpitations because I was involved in its selection. I wasn’t exactly a judge for the magazine, but [...]

A recent travel article in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution gave three options for where visitors should eat in Baltimore in its weekly Sunday feature “A Weekend In.” It also divided the choices into budget, moderate, and splurge.
It’s always interesting to see what writers, who don’t live here, might suggest. I agree with the budget recommendation (Faidley [...]

We’ve all heard about Michael Phelps’s in-training appetite. But it looks like he can also polish off some hearty fare when he’s not in the pool.
