Quite a catch

Oceanaire’s executive chef Benjamin Erjavec is still trying to catch his breath after a whirlwind visit to Alaska (his first) last month to see exactly where the restaurant’s Alaska king crab originates. “We got to see the whole process—from ocean to plate,” he says.
During the trip to Dutch Harbor, Ben went out on the boat […]

Morton’s The Steakhouse in Baltimore and Annapolis are opening their elegant Boardrooms to diners who want to watch the presidential results en masse on a theater-style broadcasting system.

Pizza for lunch

Four of us wanted to share a pizza in the office. But we all had different ideas about who has the best pizza. The tiebreaker was Zella’s Pizzeria (1143-45 Hollins St., 410-685-6999, zellaspizzeria.com) in Sowebo. None of us had ever tried its pies, despite great reviews and a Best Pizza nod from the City Paper […]

Joe Squared closed for week

Fans of Joe Edwardsen’s pizzas will have to go through pie withdrawal, starting Sunday, Aug. 10, while the restaurant undergoes renovations and—this is the big news—installs a coal-fired pizza oven.
Joe says the oven will produce a more authentic pizza flavor and cook faster. A spruced-up Joe Squared (133 W. North Ave., 410-545-0444) is expected to […]

Avi Cohen will be executive chef and owner, and Cole Shewbridge, restaurant […]

Meet your local farmers

You’ve probably heard the latest eco buzz word, locavore, by now. Simply defined, it’s a person who enjoys and appreciates eating locally grown food in season. Now, Watertable Restaurant at Renaissance Harborplace and Slow Food Baltimore are capitalizing on this delicious idea by hosting a five-course farmstead dinner at 6:30 p.m. April 22 at the […]

From pub fare to crab cakes

I made the trek to Columbia this weekend to finally try out Victoria Gastro Pub. It’s been open since mid-December and has already gained a steady clientele. In fact, while we were there, our wonderful server, Laura, told us that there are already plans to open another restaurant in Annapolis. We can see why. The […]
