A recent e-mail from Jay Block brought up a great subject, one that we needs everyone's input. Jay Block wrote, “I figure you would be the person to ask. Do you know how to get the recipes for Burke's Onion Rings and Oyster Stew? Far too many memories to let die.”
As a number of Baltimore landmark restaurants close we can no longer enjoy their signature dishes. Whether it is the strawberry pie from Hausner’s or Harley’s burgers in the special sauce – we yearn, yet crave these dishes.
The Chesapeake Restaurant’s crab imperial (RECIPE BELOW) was reprinted in The Baltimore Sun so long ago that my late mother’s copy turned yellow and crumbled. Does anyone have a recipe for Marconi’s Lobster Cardinale or the Koffee Salad from the Pimlico Hotel? These are dishes that memories have been built around?
Question One – What dishes are you missing and craving from now closed Baltimore eateries?
Question Two – Do you have recipes from these closed restaurants you are willing to share?
