Suburban House
 Back in November 2007, good friends of mine moved up to the Ralston neighborhood of Pikesville, just off of Reisterstown Road. While driving to their house one day, I noticed a strange looking building with no windows and a huge sign on the outside displaying “Suburban House”.It turns out Suburban House is a full-on Jewish style diner/deli, with a proper diner menu, the likes of which do not exist in Baltimore City proper, at least not to my knowledge (feel free to correct me, I don't get out much these days). Yes, there’s Attman’s Authentic New York Delicatessen on Lombard Street downtown, but it isn’t quite a sit-down diner. It’s more a deli with seating, and quite delicious, but a deli nonetheless. Not in the ten years since I moved to Baltimore from Brooklyn (New York), have I had such tasty diner slaw with a real garlic pickle atop. The last time I saw that kind of slaw/pickle display was at a favorite diner in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The slaw not too mayonaisey, the pickle garlicky and just crisp.  My Suburban House waitress knew what I meant when I asked to have seltzer for my beverage. The Turkey Reuben I ordered was served on fresh, grilled rye toast, with melted Swiss cheese (damn you, delicious cheese), deli sliced turkey breast, sauerkraut, and some thousand island dressing for gooey zest. The sandwich came with french fries that might have been the most delicious fries I’ve ever had (is that really possible? there have been many fries in my life), seemingly fried in some crazy flavored oil that made them taste really freakin’ good. Perhaps an animal product of some sort, or maybe just extra seasoning.They also serve things like cheeseburgers, cheese steaks, crab cakes and shrimps, lox and bagels, matzoh ball soup, and much, much more. Look at their web site for the full menu, or better yet, just go there and eat. *Thanks to Damon Locks for lending me his camera to photograph this food. |
