A regular reader of the blog who goes by FrankieSez e-mailed me to say that he'd had great food and drink recently at Brasserie Beck in Washington, and that he'd heard the restaurant might be opening a Baltimore location.
"I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by Brasserie Beck on (I think) K Street in DC (partially because I am a Belgian beer lunatic, partially because the food was insane)," he wrote. "Supposedly Brasserie Beck is taking space in the first floor retail portion of the Legg Mason Tower!"
I contacted the restaurant and heard back from Polly Wiedmaier, the wife of chef Robert Wiedmaier. She said expansion to Baltimore was "in the works," though she did not disclose a location or timetable.
"We haven't signed a lease and we're looking at different locations," she e-mailed me. "Feel free to check back in the next few weeks."
The restaurant bills itself as a "contemporary Belgian brasserie with an exhibition kitchen." You can check out the menu online.
