Food is good
I met Damian Mosley many years ago. I immediately liked him. He’s quietly confident, very thoughtful and works really, really hard. You may know Blacksauce from area farmers markets or maybe you go to their storefront in Remington – or both. The storefront is fairly new, and as you may know, they had a major …
My mom’s crab soup is a classic. It’s simple, easy and incredibly comforting. Like a lot of things she made for us over the years, the recipe wasn’t written down in its entirety — until now. Mom and I have been talking about this soup for the last few months, which kind of broth, crab …
When I started this series, I knew I wanted to include folks I do not know well personally. People whose work, products or ethos I admire. When I first met Nicole Foster of Cajou Creamery, I was struck by her warmth and kindness. And then I had her vegan ice cream and was smitten. (The …
You probably have a “top five” in your head of places you love to go out to eat and drink. Dylan’s is in mine. They’re actually in my top three now. (The other two, in no order, are Peter’s Inn and Petit Louis.) At Dylan’s, it’s not just about food and cocktails that are executed …

I remember following Dana Sicko and Gundalow Juice back in the day and messaging her to meet up so that we could have lunch together. It was one of those times when you feel as though you meet someone but it feels like you were seeing an old friend. That’s rare, Like so many others …
I first had Chef Tae Strain’s cooking back in 2010. You may have enjoyed it, too. It was at Demi, Tae’s pop-up downstairs inside Crush restaurant at Belvedere Square. My friend Susan and I went and sat at the chef’s counter so we could watch them work. It was just Tae and his sous, Bailey …
Sunshine in human form. That’s how I describe Jaime Windon of Windon Distilling to people who don’t yet know her. She truly is that person who lights up a room, the person who makes the party more fun, the person you can count on, too. Whenever I’ve asked Jaime for help or advice or a …
I can’t remember when I first met Lori Yanke, or rather, heard about her via social media and the Baltimore restaurant world. Sometimes those two things don’t equal each other. I mean, isn’t it true that sometimes you follow someone’s work (and social media account…) you feel as if you know them? That happens in …
