On very rare occasions I get a chance to re-live my youth from a food perspective. Many of the Highlandtown/Brewer's Hill delicacies are gone and replaced with bi-lingual establishments selling enchiladas. The only food spots still left on the west side of the underpass are Matthew's Pizza, Eickenkranz German restaurant, and Hoehn's Bakery.
Luckily Hoehn's Bakery on the 400 block of Conkling Street has not change a bit since I was a kid and probably not from when it first opened in 1927.. My mom would walk me up the Avenue every Saturday to get donuts and I can still say that Hoehn's makes the best honey dipped donuts in the city. They might not have the variety of a Dunkin Donuts but who the hell wants a purple Joe Flacco donuts anyway. The honey dipped donuts are so good that I don't bother with the other simple flavors. I've already polished off 2 donuts today and I'm about to go for the trifecta.
