What: Chicken Nuggets, Double Cheeseburger, Fries
Where: McDonald’s, Southside Shopping center (825 E Fort Avenue – map) How Much: $8.23 (with drink) Synopsis: There’s this crazy new place in South Baltimore called “McDonald’s,” they serve burgers and fries and bizarre cups full of salad. Ever heard of it? |

What: Fish Burrito Where: Pop Tacos, Cross St. Market (Light and Charles St. – map) How Much: $8.00 (with drink) Synopsis: Pop Tacos is remarkably similar to most other burrito joints around town, but their selection of filler extends way beyond your standard beef or chicken and includes shrimp, fish, shredded pork, and a few others. This Fish burrito was great, and very fresh. It also had an interesting almost-sweet-but-very-spicy flavor to it, which I got into. |

What: The Balto Bird w/ MD Crab Soup Where: Prime Central (1715 Edmonson Avenue – map) How Much: $~10.50 Synopsis: This hole in the wall place out in Catonsville has a pretty awesomely wide variety of pit beef/turkey/ham sandwiches and grill foods that everyone loves. The Balto Bird pictured (blurrily) consists of pit turkey, cheese, bacon, honey mustard and lettuce/tomato for $6.95. |
The bowl of crab soup, only $3.50! The sandwich was great, and the soup was good, but it needed more salt and more tomato – though that’s just my taste.
Another menu item I simply must try is the “Double Dog Dare” – a footlong hot dog bun with TWO hot dogs, all covered in onions, chili and cheese.
Check this place out, for sure.

After a mere 24 hours of attempting to scientifically determine who has the greatest nachos in the Baltimore area, it has become apparent that a number of qualities, exceptions, and/or ground need to be established as to what will and will most certainly not win points in the “Yeah these are good nachos” column. Obviously a stringent set of Nacho Laws must be a living, breathing work in process; given that, I present the beginnings of what will be the gold standard by which all nachos are judged.
…more to come. like I said, living breathing work in process.
| Mankind has always endeavored upon the noblest of causes: clean burning energy, environmental protection, penis enlargement creams, breast enlargement creams, that kind of thing. Today I announce my intent to contribute my services to the pantheon of Makind’s legacy and discover once and forever – where can Baltimore’s best nachos be found?
Truly this is a noble cause, as nachos are quite simply the raddest bar food imaginable. Cheesy, sloppy, piping hot nachos with jalapenos, meat, lettuce tomato and 76 kinds of cheese are the stuff that the most mouthwatering dreams are made of. And the internet may provide a few answers here and there, people may tell you anecdotes about how rockin’ the nachos were over at Holy Frijoles, but I’m a PhD in Nachoology and I am more than utterly qualified to decide which nachos served in Baltimore are the best. |
 |
Now, this is going to take some time. I cannot possible eat ten plates of nachos over the course of a single weekend, and I will require suggestions from you dear readers. So if you think you know where the best nachos in Baltimore are served, please feel free to suggest it via email or commentation. Otherwise, hold onto your butts kids. It’s NachoQuest 2009.

What: Sliders with Fries Where: G&A Restaurant (3802 Eastern Avenue – map) How Much: $7.25 Synopsis: G&A Restaurant was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives a while back on Food Network on which their Coney Island hot dogs and sliders were featured prominently. And damn, these things are pretty good. Slightly buttered rolls, entirely too much ketchup and mustard (which I like), and very filling. Price wise I almost always feel like sliders are expensive considering the portion, but given the old school diner atmosphere and giant, unlimited refill sodas over there you’d be pretty silly not to stop by and try them sometime. |
 |
What: Buffalo Chicken Pizza Where: Taps Baltimore (1439 South Charles St.) How Much: $5 – WEDNESDAY NIGHT ONLY Synopsis: Crackery crust, very thin and light. Pretty average in the flavor department. I was a bit disappointed that they used buffalo sauce instead of pizza sauce, it didn’t really taste like a pizza to me. And normally this pizza sells for $9.95, which seems expensive for the quality. Though, they have several other varieties so perhaps the others are better. I’d recommend it for the cheap Wednesday price though! |

I love to eat. Who doesn’t? And recently I’ve been finding that I also enjoy documenting what I eat – being that every mobile phone has a camera rammed into it, I can quickly snap a picture of what I’m eating, jot down how much it costs and where I got it, and take mental notes on whether it’s good or not. Now and forever more, I will share these glorious bits of informationaries with you all. The format will be as such: What it is, where I got it, how much it costs, and a brief paragraph about whether it was good at all.
For example…

What: Southern Maryland Pulled Pork BBQ sandwich
Where: Gertrude’s (10 Art Museum Drive) How Much: $10 – LUNCH ONLY 12pm-3pm Synopsis: Filling, tangy, really really good. The bottom bun got soggy so I couldn’t pick it up. Fortunately forks still function in today’s society and I ate it that way. Came with pasta salad (or slaw) and fries. |
