The City That Breeds had a baby. A food baby. Most (all) food posts currently seen on TCTB will be mirrored here indefinitely on the backend, and all new food posts will appear here. Prepare for THE HUNGER, folks.
(and no, this will not be some sort of urban-based vampire fansite, either.)
It was called to my attention while I was away last week that a particular Baltimore Restaurant Events Examiner (quite the mouthful), Jasmine Touton, has given wicked mad props to the WILDLY POPULAR and current long term City That Breeds project, NachoQuest. Knowing full well what she’s talking about, she had the following to say about NachoQuest:
Nacho Quest 2009 is nothing short of genius.
Well stated, Jasmine, well stated. 
BONUS PIC: Here are some nachos I made while on vacation. The best nachos in Baltimore are the ones you make yourselves, folks!
KICKASS NACHOS
Let’s say you’re driving around Baltimore in your Yaris or something, it’s 6pm and you’re stuck on St. Paul headed toward Light St. and those goddamn people who keep blocking the box are holding up absolutely everything. You glance out of your driver’s side window and note the presence of Cardboard Guy, and then it hits you like a sack of kittens – “DAAAAAAAAYAMN! I WANT NACHOS!” Well, fortunately you’re an intrepid yuppie, and you’ve already gone ahead and bookmarked the one, the only Google Map companion to NachoQuest on your BlackBerry Storm 9500

In what seems now like a total no-brainer, it occurred to me the other day that having a fully featured map companion to the relatively new Mealtime! section is probably in order. And so, without further ado I present to you dear readers – the Mealtime! Google Map:

This map will also be added to the Google Earth Projects section, which is in the process of being revamped. Stay hungry people!
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.
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. |
