What to pick up or try in Baltimore? Cheap-ish eats.

I owe you all my trip report!

We went to Artifact for brunch one day, it was spectacularly hipster and very good. We shared a strawberry donut, delicious Counter Culture coffees, and a belgian waffle.

We also dined at Fork & Wrench and really liked it. In particular, the Tomato Braised eggs with brisket at brunch. This was another place with interesting decor, I commented to my sister that it had a very abandoned house type vibe. Both of these locations featured old typewriters are part of the decor which I thought was a funny coincidence.

For dinner one night we went to The Food Market. I would say I enjoyed the food here but I was least impressed with this one. The crab soup was delicious, the Duck Confit potato skin was interesting and rich but not a lot of complexity. Garlicky shrimp, recommended by the waiter, was too peppery and too creamy, hard to taste anything else. Roasted buffalo cauliflower was interesting, but a minimal portion. The half baked blondie dessert was amazing, they toasted marshmallow fluff around the edges of the bowl. Tops.

To bring home, I ended up scooping up a box of flat chocolate chip cookies - Otterbein’s. We enjoyed those and hubby thought it was a sweet gift.
