I'm going to add two things you did not mention that are awesome and unique about Baltimore and Maryland Lake Trout smothered in brown gravy or Momo sauce on a wheat roll. You can find in the Bodegas in Baltimore. Steamers.....which are the Maryland version of sloppy joes on a toasted bun. Also.....A must visit is Ellicott City, which is one of the most beautiful small towns in the entire country. It's 25 mins outa Fells point
Another thing to watch out for is imported crab. There are unscrupulous restaurants that sell gulf crabs from Texas or Louisiana as "Maryland style" but charge premium prices... Check out Maryland's Tru Blue Program as well. Pioneer Pit Beef is awesome with tiger sauce... 🤤
For beers, I like Flying Dog Bloodlines (blood orange) and Big Truck Farm's Half Cab hazy IPA... both are Maryland breweries. There is also a Guinness brewery though I heard they were shutting down their main brewing and only keeping the restaurant, tap house, and a small experimental barrel house. (BOOOooo!)
Miss the crab. Crab soup and crabcakes are a must. Annapolis is highly recommended. Eastport Kitchen is a wonderful place for food and Adam's Tap House & Grille in Eastport is great for Crabcakes and ribs. You'll see MD style crabcakes outside of MD, don't bother, please.
I'm in Northern Va, so I go to the eastern shore pretty regularly, was just over in Cambridge yesterday, but the best seafood is Kent Island, there's the Fisherman's Inn, the Jetty, the Narrows and the Bridges all walking distance of a handful of hotels, Hyatt Place, Best Western, and Hilton if you're passing through or just want to go for the night purely for the seafood restaurants, which we do often.
Natty Boh is no longer brewed in MD, and the Orioles stopped selling it at the Park in like 2016 (or if it’s there, it is not nearly as ubiquitous as it once was, and the big orange cans are nowhere to be found). It was quite a scandal, and it remains a sore point with me. Still, it’s the best ballpark experience in MLB, and the young team is super-fun to watch. We also put our state flag on everything.
Yup. And Utz are from Hanover PA not far from Maryland, and as a PA to MD transplant I like Utz chips and I like the "The Crab Chip.". But to avoid confusion - they don't taste like crab, they taste like Old Bay seasoning, though they call it "Chesapeake Bay Crab Seasoning" on the label to avoid paying the Old Bay folks.
As a native Baltimoron, I must correct you about Natty Boh beer. It hasn't been brewed in Maryland since 1996. It's brewed under contract at Molson Coors brewing facilities in Albany, Georgia and Trenton, Ohio. Natty Boh is not a Maryland beer, it just has a really good advertising campaign that fools the public.
I used to describe Berger's Cookies to the uninitiated thusly. Imagine a conventional fluted chocolate topped cookie. Quadruple it in size. Now imagine an cheerful, enormously obese, lady sat on it, smooshing and melting it, while her boundless love osmosed down, permeating them.
I live in DC/MC/VA, and I am dismayed to say that the seafood offerings pale in comparison to Las Vegas and Reno NV. In fact, I would go as far as saying that really good seafood restaurants with reasonable prices do not exist in the area.
Thank you! Those bonus eats sounds so good!!
MY CITYYYYYYYYY!!!!!! Welcome to Baltimore Mark!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you!
You missed coddies. A fish cake between two saltines with mustard. Delicious!
There are two types of crab soup. The tomato/vegetable one you had and the ultimate cream of crab soup which is unbelievably delicious

Goetzs candy I believe is made in Baltimore that's why it's always so fresh there. My great grandfather worked at Goetzs candy his whole life.
Carmel creams soooo good.
Monument Street just before the strip club
YES to Berger Cookies!
Thank you for appriciating our food here in Maryland ❤
The Glory Days Bar and Grille near me serves honey old bay wings… I still can’t get over how good they are with blue cheese❤
Chesapeake Bloody Marys are the best thing ever. I live in Ireland 7 months of the year. Old Bay is essential, sooo good on chunky chips with vinegar.
So much crabs 🦀! I’m going there soon for my job. Thanks guys. We should collaborate one day!
You should try the Old Bay beer from Flying Dog Brewing. It is better than it sounds.
Frederick native and Dead Float is a fine beer. 😊

You were down the road from us.... heading back to Germany in 3 weeks.

Cohen's coddies a memory worth keeping.
Virginia is for lovers; Maryland is for crabs! 😄
Interesting. I once got crabs in Virginia from a lover….🤔😂😂

Bo is back at the Yard as of this past season with the new ownership
He touched on crabs but they are never frozen and redone. In the winter months, the crabs in MD are coming from the Gulf from Louisiana or Alabama.
next time you get snowball the the egg custered with mashmellow on top
Im on it!!
@@WoltersWorldEats seconding this. Egg custard was the original snowball flavor.
Crab soup on the Board Walk with Beer and Full on Steamed Crabs !
Steamed CRABS. We eat CRABS.
JO Spice!
Utz, pronounced Uhhtz. NOT ootz, just sayin' hon. 😂

And it's about the skunkiest beer around.

Don't forget Maryland style fried chicken.
Mark doesn't know shit 😂
If you’re visiting, make sure you don’t pronounce the T. 😊
Or the I. It's "Bawlmer, Merlin".

Baltimore isn’t part of the DMV
