Recent Woodberry Kitchen Meals & the C.M.P.


I've found myself at Baltimore's Woodberry Kitchen quite a few times this fall. A big reason is that because of their commitment to local food, their menu is constantly changing with the seasons' available ingredients.
On their appetizer menu, I finally had their Pork Buns which are served with soft pretzel rolls and a sweet onion relish. They were really hearty and delicious.



I'm a huge fan of their John the Butcher's plate- which is their charcuterie selection. It changes each time I've had it. Recently, the plate had a fantastic piece of blood sausage (top).
A few months ago, I was really impressed by some delicious headcheese (above).





As far as entrees, a few months ago, I had some of the best tuna I've ever had. The tuna was fresh from New Jersey's shore. It was lightly seared on the outside with a spicy rub, so the inside was essentially raw. The flavor was so fresh, I wonder if the fish was even ever frozen or just shipped fresh on ice a few hours away. It was spectacular.




Recently, I had their stout braised short ribs served with spaetzle and pear. The beef was so tender, I almost mistook it for pork.










On the show The Best Thing I Ever Ate, Duff from Ace of Cakes gave a plug to Woodberry's C.M.P. (Chocolate, Marshmallow & Peanuts). The dessert comes out in a glass with a hard sugar top. When you break into it, inside there is marshmallow fluff, malt ice cream, chocolate sauce and peanuts. So simple and just so good.

  1. Oh man! I love pretzel rolls! They sometimes have them at Bon Appetit in Princeton, if you get them early enough before they sell out...
