Sobo Cafe – a warm, welcoming delicious option in Federal Hill

August 4, 2014 by Amy Langrehr

I hadn’t been to Sobo Cafe in years. Anna Leventis, a Baltimore native, has owned and operated the restaurant since May of 2012 and I’ve heard consistently positive things about this place, so I thought it was time I visit again. And I’m glad I did. What a gem. Spreads of spicy feta, rosemary hummus, …

In Memoriam: Nelson Carey, Grand Cru Owner and Friend to Many

July 25, 2014 by Amy Langrehr

I’ve been having a hard time writing this post. It’s not a eulogy. It’s not an obituary. Fred Rasmussen has written a quite lovely one. Have you read it? Here you go.  Nelson Carey, Grand Cru wine bar owner, dies at 50. This is just a thank you. Many considered Nelson a friend, mentor and …

How to keep your farmers market haul fresher longer

July 15, 2014 by Amy Langrehr

One of my favorite food websites is The Kitchn. For a home cook like me, it is a great resource.  I have already referenced this post about a dozen times to see if I’m storing my farmers market purchases properly! A Few General Guidelines Do Not Store Fruits and Vegetables Together. Fruits that give off high …

Chef John Shields and recipes from farmers at Waverly Market

July 14, 2014 by Amy Langrehr

I love Waverly Market. I shop for my weekly groceries there every week and love seeing local chefs shopping from local farmers and purveyors. I go early and I usually see Chris Becker of the Bagby Restaurant Group and John Shields of Gertrude’s, talking with farmers, buying cases of fruit, vegetables, herbs and more.  This makes …

Summer goodness…now, at the market

June 30, 2014 by Amy Langrehr

If you’re like me, you love tomatoes. But not those tasteless ones you see at the grocery store in the dead of winter. No, I’m talking summer tomatoes. From Maryland. And they’re beginning to pop up at local farmers markets, roadside stands and maybe, in your very own garden. My friend Sean invited me a …

VOLT

June 26, 2014 by Amy Langrehr

Dinner at Volt. I had thought about it. Dreamed, real, since watching Bryan Voltaggio compete on Top Chef, which is probably my favorite show. He always just seemed like a nice person – and also a fair, yet fierce competitor, specially with his brother Michael. It was fun to watch…and the food he put out …

Channeling Julia

June 4, 2014 by Amy Langrehr

Julia Child. I can see myself in her. She was obsessed with food and cooking. She loved her people. She came into her own and was very happy and fulfilled later in life.

Makin’ Bacon

June 2, 2014 by Amy Langrehr

I’m completely fascinated by chefs who cook nose-to-tail style – using every part of the animal – like kidneys, brain, feet and more. One of the most front-and-center of these chefs is Chris Cosentino. Often at his restaurant Incanto in San Francisco, he’ll offer a plate called “Odds and Ends,” amazing dishes made out of …
