So, where did everybody go?
A few of you posted last Friday about your weekend dining plans. (Even if you didn't post on Friday, we'd like to hear about your dining experiences now)
Michelle was headed to the Sakura in Hunt Valley, and Ryan97ou was hoping to get to Chameleon Cafe. Sarah G made my mouth water with her mention of the Eastern-Shore chicken at Big Bad Wolf's House of Barbecue. I remember Big Bad Wolf's Scott Smith telling me that he learned about what makes good chicken barbecue as a cook for Eastern Shore firehouses.
Courtney was headed up to Philadelphia, and she was planning on making the head-to-head comparison of Pat's vs. Geno's, the neighboring temples of the Philly cheese steak.
As anthropology, it's a worthwhile experience -- it's fun to watch people waiting and eating. As gastronomy, it's strictly from hunger. Neither cheese steak even qualifies as good bad food -- they're bad bad food. Absolutely I get why natives appreciate them, but bleccch.
