Everyone has their favorite places to eat on the regular. Most of the places that I frequent tend to share the same characteristics. Obviously the food is good and the price is right. In Baltimore, most of the places I go have a relatively long standing tradition and a friendly staff. Most of the time, these establishments are relatively small in size. In all cases, the restaurant will not be associated with the Inner Harbor.
In honor to the recent pitching performances of the Orioles starting rotation, I'm going to refer to my regularly frequented spots as The Rotation. Like the Orioles rotation, I will limit my number of establishments to five. In no order, here's the rotation by name, cuisine and area of Baltimore:
- Samos: Greek Cuisine located in Greektown
- Nichiban: Sushi and assorted Japanese cuisine located in Federal Hill
- One Eyed Mikes: American cuisine located in Fells Point
- Nacho Mama's: Mexican located in Canton
- Blue Moon Cafe: Breakfast located in Fells Point
Over the next few days I will give you my thoughts on each place, what to get, and when to go. For places like Samos, Nacho Mama's and Blue Moon, when to go is more important than what to get. These places get mobbed on the weekends because that's familiar with the area knows about them. The good thing about these places is that the food is consistent and when you come home from work on a Tuesday night, you know you are getting exactly what you paid for.
