Pictures: Oscar-inspired dining in Baltimore
Food is a major player in only one of this year's nine Academy Award nominees for Best Picture. But that didn't stop us from thinking about food while we were watching them. Take a look at the nine Baltimore restaurants and foods we were thinking about while the lights were down.--Richard Gorelick

'The Artist': The power table at Chazz: A Bronx Original
Most of the eating in "The Artist" is at the breakfast table, but the"Citizen Kane"-inspired breakfast vignettes in "The Artist," are less about crullers than a crumbling marriage. The restaurant scene with Peppy's interview, filmed on location at Cicada in Los Angeles, nicely illustrates a style of power dining that Baltimore hasn't seen since the Polo Grill. But Chazz: A Bronx Original , the actor Chazz Palminteri's restaurant-sized letter to his home borough is sealed with a kiss of Hollywood glamour. There are marvelous sight lines, a dramatic staircase entrance and tucked in the back of the main dining room, Chazz's Table, a power booth fit for John Goodman's studio boss.
