Sure, Hopkins is no longer on the Princeton Review's "Is it Food?" list, but when was the last time you actually had a satisfying meal in Baltimore? We're here to solve that problem. We are Carleigh Connelly and Vanessa Simmons, bringing you "D.I.S.H" - Dining In Style at Hopkins.
In a nutshell, we are two culinary-loving seniors who want to make eating in or dining out in Baltimore a little easier for you. We've navigated the ups and downs of the B'more restaurant scene and this year we'll be giving you the inside scoop on the best deals, events and tips for eating well, cooking well and getting to know the best our city has to offer, one overlooked gem at a time.
You know what Citypaper says is best, but we're here to bring you the most unexpected holes-in-the-wall, places really worth that cab fare downtown. In addition to writing about our regrettable pitfalls and perfect date spots, we'll also keep you informed about the latest news in the food world. For instance, is that Kobe beef really worth the meager paycheck you just picked up from a week of your on-campus job?
Before we give our mini first review, we want to know what you'd like to see in this space. Is there a food or drink you've been hearing about? Want to know the background history of a dish or ingredient?
We would love to hear from you, so put down the orgo book, ask that M-level girl if she's up for Indian, and we'll tell you where to go for the best saves, splurges and romantic back booths. Just send an email with your choice of cuisine, budget, and occasion. The rest of the decision making is on us!
Our first recomendation is a hidden jewel, and best of all, it's on the Homewood campus. You probably never knew that tucked in the Hubble Telescope building on San Martin Drive, behind Bloomberg, is a great cafe called Azà fran's. Open for breakfast and lunch five days a week, this little spot is like Carma's Café but with a more extensive menu and lower prices. Dishes are varied, from burgers on Mondays and Fridays to consistently-offered quiches, paninis, salads and daily soups. The salads are not only huge in size, but are also hugely delicious. Make sure to ask for dressing on the side if your looking to keep your entree light. High quality, mostly local ingredients make the panini a responsible choice too.
