Annapolis (Map, News) - Gov.-elect Martin O’Malley has arrived.
He has a sandwich named after him.
After capturing their votes, O’Malley will now look to win the support of Marylanders’ taste buds with his new Governor Martin O’Malley sandwich.
Chick & Ruth’s Delly on Main Street in Annapolis is naming a sandwich after O’Malley.
“The governor-elect is very excited to have a sandwich named after him,” O’Malley spokesman Rick Abbruzzese said. “It’s a long-standing tradition in Annapolis, and it’s fun to be a part of it.”
Restaurant owner Ted Levitt said that O’Malley wants roast beef on the sandwich.
“I don’t know yet what exactly will be on the sandwich, but it’s completely up to him,” said Levitt.
Levitt explained that they will give O’Malley advice on what to put on it, “just like he gets advice on political issues, but it’s his final decision … he has the veto power.”
Any combination is possible, from the meats and cheeses to the sides — french fries or onion rings — and even the drink. Former Lt. Gov. Michael Steele took advantage of this privilege when he opted to have his salad come with french fries.
The O’Malley sandwich will have to compete with other popular choices, such as the Congressman Ben Cardin reuben, County Executive Jim Smith’s steak and cheese wrap and another 55 named sandwiches.
Levitt said that O’Malley’s sandwich will be in the $6 range. The sandwich will not be added to the menu until mid-January, just in time for the beginning of his term.

Let them eat and drink. Too many hemp products can be harmful to the multinational restaurant bottom line. Go liquor holes.

I was very surprised by the comment. When we go to eat at Chef Paolino, I always take the kids to a table first and either my husband or I order for all of us. Our first time there, we all took a menu to a table and then my husband went up and ordered for the family. I think the writer just misunderstood.

On the evening of 09/07/07 my family and I went to eat at this restaurant for dinner at 5:30 pm. Being our first time there I questioned if they would seat us or should we seat ourselves. The employee advised me we had to go order our food then we could seat ourselves. I ask him if I could please sit first. In my arms was my handicapped 5 year old daughter who from Spinal Bifida can not walk, my husband was carrying our 3 month old son and I had 3 other children with me ranging from 7 to 9. I explained to him I could not continue to hold her and go order my food due to her wait. It would be impossible to hold her and order, pay, ect. Even after explaining why I needed to be seated first he refused to do so. My family and I had to leave that establishment and to say the least was very dissatisfied with our first experience at the Chef Paolino Cafe.I believe this restaurant needs to change there process of ordering and seating customers. This process is very difficult for the handicapped

Chef Alex Powell's enthusiasm for his work and his creations comes across well in this article. As a food connoisseur and a lover of island flavors, it will be my priority to visit the 701 Restaurant. The chef takes me back to my own roots where the belief is that you can never go wrong with simple, natural ingredients. Way to go chef and welcome to DC!

Sounds like a typical visit to most restaruants these days. Steak are always "iffy" I try to avoind them because a chef will tell you fat on a steak helps retain juices, but I don't like fat. Also, if I see a sauce on anything I avoid it. especailly at a place where I have never eaten. I had a friend that was a professional chef. I was grilling steaks at my house one day and asked him to show me how he made his steak taste so good. He rubbed both sides with salt.
