If you have been to any of the farmers markets in the Baltimore area you have met Eula McDowell and hopefully tasted any one of her Savory Bean Soups and Nikki Lewis with her trip down sweet street Mallow Crunchies (formerly Mallow Munchies). A dream, a vision, a belief and a strong following has led both these culinary nomads to their own permanent homes opening this week.
Eula McDowell’s Big Bean Theory has a solid roof over its head in the Owings Mills Malls food court. From her Lentil Gumbo with Veggies to her Veggie Mushroom & Black Bean Burger with Cucumber and Dill are just some of the selections that will delight the vegan and vegetarian. It is all about the bean; Lentil Loaf with Smashed Sweet Potatoes with Herbs and Greens or Lentil Lasagna with Mushrooms. Take home her Black Bean and Mango Salsa, Red Bean Hummus, Chick Pea Cookie Dough Dip, or Red Bean Bread Pudding. Eat in, take home – The Big Bean Theory is open for business.
Not everything is vegan or vegetarian. Eula does an amazing Fish Fry every Friday. The fish battered in bean flour, fried, is accompanied with creamy macaroni and cheese, smashed sweet potatoes with herbs, roasted string beans or green medley. Eula is promising to offer up cooking classes.
