What: Chicken Kebab on Nan, Pork Dumplings

Where: Silk Road Express (3400 North Charles St., Johns Hopkins Homewood)

How Much: $8.96

Synopsis: Slightly nestled in a courtyard (Martin Center) just off of Charles on the Hopkins campus, Silk Road boasts a wide variety of Asian and Mediterranean cuisine and it is cheaaaap. The pork dumplings (8!) were only $3.95, I figured as an “appetizer” it would be fairly small but it actually ended up being a meal in and of itself. I had to take the kebab sandwich home for dinner!

If you go, try any of their combination platters. Under $6, with lots of sides and options to choose from.

The weather has been shockingly gorgeous recently, and Baltimore area restaurants (preferably with outdoor seating) are taking full advantage! Rub BBQ (1843 Light Street, Riverside) is running a great special through March 14th, get an order of Fried okra with a Lonestar Lemonade for $10 or get the same special with two lemonades for $13 when you mention their Facebook page!

So go right ahead and friend them on Facebook, get on down there, and mention this offer!

Everybody (at least, mostly) loves Abbey Burger Bistro (1041 Marshall St, Federal Hill)! The expertly crafted burgers, the waffle fry nachos, the ….pitchers of water, it’s a great place! But I find their list of “specialty” burgers a little too fancy, and additionally I’m a big stupid American who doesn’t like to take the time and energy to use a pencil to fill out forms. Which is why I DID take the time and energy to scan in a blank menu from the Abbey and fill it in in Photoshop so I can just print out my favorite combinations! It’s super fun! Print these out and take them in on your next trip to the Abbey and tell ‘em I sent it.

What are YOUR favorite combinations??!?!?!?!?!?
