Time to hit the Beltway,,,


It's been a while since I last went around the Beltway to sample foods from Glen Burnie to Catonsville, Pikesville to Towson, Essex to Dundalk. And a good bit has changed since then: some places have closed, others have opened, yet others were pointed out to me that I didn't even see the first time! So I'm going back in, people.

This time I won't be hitting every single exit on its own. Instead, I'll be hitting a few at a time: the Glen Burnie area, the Catonsville area, etcetera. It will give me a chance to get through this more quickly, and to spend less money on gas and food (always helpful). I will also get the chance to stop at some of the places I only passed by the first time, and again to comb the comments for places I missed.

Look for it starting around June. First stop: is there anything around Exit 1 that I haven't seen yet? I've hit Cookie's already.

Can't speak for Exit 1, but when you get back around to Exit 14, I'd recommend stopping here: www.ilovegrilledcheese.com

Already have. I just haven't posted it yet. Literally, like, this week.

Joe's New York Deli at Efficiency Citgo. Excellent deli using Boars Head meats. Exit 1 off 695. Literally - go through the light instead of turning left to Cookie's. Great little truck stop dive.

Oh - open 24/7 - so no problem like what you had with Cookies'...lol!

For Catonsville, I suggest Deven's Deli & Market on Nursery road - directly opposite G & M - Deven has a deli in Ferndale and he took over the old Whitey's building - gave it a fabulous make-over and they have the best Shrimp Pasta, Shrimp Salad, Crab Cakes (only $5.99) and rotisserie chicken to die for. It's also a market and you can get just about anything you need. Oops....I am giving away my next food review...lol....

Wow, you've given me a lot of leads. Thanks!

In Arbutus, try Pizza Paradise for their unique curry pizza sauce.

So glad you are doing this again! I highly enjoyed reading your posts especially when I lived in Baltimore County.
