Food Folks I Admire

Baker’s Dozen: Dave Sherman of Catalog Coffee

February 23, 2025 by Amy Langrehr

Dave Sherman is one of the most positive-minded people I know. He sees the good. And not in a rose-colored glasses way, in a real way that makes you understand how he got to that feeling of goodness. He thinks way beyond himself and he helps other people see the good in the world, too. …

Michele Tsucalas of Michele’s Granola

February 20, 2025 by Amy Langrehr

Years ago, in the land before social media (gasp!) there was a small group of women who either owned and ran a local food businesses here in Baltimore. This was about 2012 or 2013 and I think the group was called á La Carte. I was a member, along with about 10 others and we …

Baker’s Dozen: Brian Lavin and Sam White of Costiera

February 20, 2025 by Amy Langrehr

Before I tell you about Brian Lavin and Sam White, I have a question. Did you ever go to Gnocco in Highlandtown during their three-year run a few years back? If you did, you probably remember being wowed by the food and drinks and the warm, intimate feel. I was very sad when it closed, …

Baker’s Dozen / Liz and Kevin Irish of The Local Fry

September 15, 2024 by Amy Langrehr

I remember when I first met husband and wife team Liz and Kevin Irish, it was at their original location of The Local Fry in Federal Hill. I was coming in to take some photos for a piece I was writing about them. I was super excited – I thought, wings and fries? – please …

Baker’s Dozen / Binda Singh of Ananda

September 15, 2024 by Amy Langrehr

Binda Singh is the epitome of hospitality. The impeccable suits, the astonishing memory, the professional yet warm and relaxed way he treats his guests at Ananda. And, yes, I usually focus my local writing on people and places within (roughly) Baltimore City limits, but for Binda, I will break the “rules”. He is so good …

Baker’s Dozen / Sam and Paul Micarelli of Cafe Campli

September 15, 2024 by Amy Langrehr

When I first heard about Cafe Campli, it was from my friend Lane Harlan. She had met Sam and Paul Mincarelli when they were both working at a restaurant together here in Baltimore. She said I had to meet them because they were doing something very special and she knew I would love it. And, …

Baker’s Dozen / Brendan Dorr and Eric Fooy of Dutch Courage

July 5, 2024 by Amy Langrehr

I first met Brendan Dorr and Eric Fooy at the bar at B&O Brasserie at Hotel Monaco in downtown Baltimore. At the time (circa 2013), I ran a local food and beverage Instagram and I had enough followers that I would be invited for “media dinners” and other events every once in a while where …

Baker’s Dozen / Damian Mosley of Blacksauce Kitchen

June 25, 2024 by Amy Langrehr

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 …

Baker’s Dozen / Nicole Foster of Cajou Creamery

June 3, 2024 by Amy Langrehr

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 …
