Baltimore is known for the restaurants that not only have food that permeates through the salty air of the Inner Harbor, but also for the restaurants that fill the bellies of people visiting the outskirts of the Inner Harbor in Baltimore proper. Like seafood? The Inner Harbor has many options for what Baltimore is known for: crabs and crab cakes. However, the outskirts of Baltimore offer their fair share of awesome seafood places. Sadly, Crabby Dick’s closed in 2007 (they’re still in Lewes, Delaware, however!), but there are many great restaurants around Baltimore and Fells Point. Love Southern food, or barbeque? Baltimore has it. Middle Eastern? Baltimore has that too. Italian or French? You bet, Baltimore has it. You can find just about anything in Baltimore as they offer food for every palette.
4Boog’s
Boog’s is a barbeque stand within the Camden Yards. I ordered a roast beef sandwich from Boog’s to eat before I went to see an Orioles game. Boog’s was founded by John Wesley “Boog” Powell, the first baseman for the Baltimore Orioles (1961-74), Cleveland Indians (1975-76), and Los Angeles Dodgers (1977), and is a tradition in Baltimore and the Camden Yards. While the prices are typical of eateries within stadiums, Boog’s offers quality that can’t really be found within other stadium concession stands. Boogs isn’t fancy food, but the way the roast beef was cooked and spiced was good for food to eat while you are watching the Orioles bat homeruns to beat the opposing team, or hanging out with friends before the game starts, Boog’s is one of the best traditional foods to eat.
Baltimore is a favorite city in our house. This article is great.
Thank you, Janie. :) I am thinking about taking a little trip in May.
