A Baltimore Crab Cake Thread! 🦀 Koco’s Pub
4301 Harford Rd, Baltimore, MD 21214

Genuinely curious to hear people’s thoughts on seeing paid blogger ads/ partnerships on IG. I always see people either making jokes or critical comments and want to understand generally how people feel about it. Just wondering.

I’ll give my thoughts too but y’all first 😂

Some of the most FRESH fish you’ll have in the area is at Fishnet inside of Mt Vernon Marketplace!

Yesterday, I was invited to taste the menu with fellow bloggers. Overall, the food was good!

1/ Fishnet def lets the cut of fish speak for itself & I think it works for their concept.

Everything is lightly seasoned & you can add add’l sauces/spices after you receive your order. Ex: The lake trout & steak fish here are perfectly crispy but spices are added on top

BBQ in Baltimore:

Who currently has the best BBQ in the area? Bonus points for a spot with great sides! ...And for Pit beef/turkey where are you going?

One of my favorite happy hours is at Bar Vasquez in Harbor East. They have a $5 menu that includes a rotating cocktail, 2 or 3 wine options, and snacks. Great place for a nice dinner too. Here are some of the snacks and one of the cocktails (changes monthly). All $5 each and all very good. The dipping sauce for the fries is a malbec aioli.

For a 🔥 chicken box, where are you going?

The best chicken box and your order!

Diners in Baltimore!

My favorites are Pete’s Grille (Greenmount) and Paper Moon (29th St).

Where do you go for diner eats? 📸:
1 & 4 are from Sip & Bite-great for late night but I had a bad experience my last visit so will need some time before I go back. On their good days, the sweet potato pancakes and milkshakes are great!
2. Shakes from Papermoon
3. Blueberry Pancakes & more from Pete’s Grille

I know I’ve give suggestions but want to hear everyone’s favorite vegetarian/ vegan spots in Baltimore.

The menu doesn’t necessarily have to be all veggie/vegan! 1. Hawaiian Girl from My Mama’s Vegan on Greenmount ! You all know how I feel about this place. 😍
2. Grilled Peaches over arugula with candied curried pecans from Tom Cat’s Kitchen (this isn’t always available but catch them at Waverly’s farmers market)

Smashing Grapes Kitchen + Wine Bar in Annapolis opens today!

I was invited to try some of their menu last night and loved everything. I think this will be a great date night spot. This candy apple cake was incredible! Highly recommend leaving room for this. I did try one cocktail called Lavender Field. Gin based and very good.
