Michael Costa sheds some light

He told Baltimore Magazine that co-owner-turned-chef Tony Foreman asked him to resign.

"Tony said it was time to make a change and that was it," Costa told me when I called to follow up. "We didn't discuss it. He didn't say, 'X, Y, Z, these are the reasons.'"

Costa hasn't landed anywhere yet, but he is "exploring possibilities" with the catering company Chef's Expressions.

"We're talking about doing something," he said.

Costa lent Chef's Expressions a hand last week at an event at the Renaissance Harborplace Hotel. He called the catering company right after he lost his job because it had done his March 13 wedding.

"They did a fantastic job," he said.

Attention, BaltBabs. Still looking for that wedding caterer? Sounds like a pretty good endorsement.
