Elizabeth Large at The Sun has posted a list of 100 food related things that Baltimore locals should try. It was taken all from reader suggestions (and doesn't appear to have been edited much based on a few of the entries). I love lists like this because I'm always trying to find new good things to try.
Here is the list, with the things I've had in bold. Thoughts or comments on these? Anything you'd add as an essential Maryland food experience (most of these are Baltimore related, but I know we're located all over).
1. Have a jumbo lump crab cake from Faidley's on a Saltine.
2. Pick steamed hard shells at Mr. Bill's Terrace Inn in Essex.
3. Eat Bertha's mussels.
4. Drink a Natty Boh.
5. Snack on a Berger's cookie.
6. Put marshmallow on your snowball.
7. Split Maryland beaten biscuits and put some thin slices of ham in them.
8. Serve sauerkraut with your turkey.
9. Get a chicken box (fried wings, western fries, dinner roll) from a Baltimore City public market.
10. Maybe the chicken box should be from Tyrone's?
11. Lake trout. And for those of us who watched "The Wire," have a grape soda with it.
12. Breakfast at Blue Moon Cafe down in Fells Point.
13. Corned beef on rye at Attman's.
14. Chiapparelli's house salad.
15. Knock back a goblet of Resurrection Ale at Brewer's Art.
16. Take a Sunday morning stroll through the JFX Farmer's Market.
17. Thrasher's french fries from the boardwalk in Ocean City.
18. Have a Black Eyed Susan at the Preakness.
19. Chow down on a pit beef sandwich at Boog's during an O's game.
20. Shop for shoes and chocolate at Ma Petit Shoe in Hampden.
21. Have a soft crab sandwich on white bread.
22. Eat a box of Rheb's buttercreams. Not at one sitting, of course ... on the other hand, why not?
23. Order a Tio Pepe sangria (red). It contains fruit, so it counts as food!
24. Polish sausage from one of the two Ostrowski shops.
25. German sausage from Binkert's
26. Fisher's popcorn downy ocean, hon!
27. Sunday brunch on the terrace at Ambassador Dining Room, an atypical setting for an Indian restaurant.
28. Get peach cake from Woodlea Bakery.
29. Eat the pumpkin appetizer at the Helmand.
30. Eat a Wockenfuss caramel apple! Mmmmm.
31. Thin crust pizza! Iggies and Joe Squared.
32. Savory muffins at Red Canoe in Lauraville.
33. Try some of the special flavors from Taharka Bros. (formerly Sylvan Beach) ice cream and Pitango Gelato.
34. Make fun of the hipsters at Golden West and Rocket to Venus in Hampden.
35. Have a special occasion dinner at Charleston. Ask Chef Cindy Wolf to fix what she thinks is best that night.
36. Change your mind about vegan/vegetarian food at Liquid Earth.
37. Try the charcuterie at Clementine.
38. Macaroni and cheese with bittersweet chocolate from Jack's Bistro.
39. Throw in a shrimp salad from Kibby's and/or Mary Mervis.
40. Smith Island Cake, but only from Sugarbakers.
41. Gorge yourself on the Monday night all-you-can-eat at Vaccaro's.
42. Discuss a bottle of wine with Tony Foreman at Cinghiale.
43. Eat roasted vegetables at Donna's ... wearing black.
44. Veal Chop at Da Mimmo.
45. Bookmaker salad at Sabatino's.
46. Get a crab cake and a lemon/peppermint stick at the Flower Mart. Isn't a fabulous crab cake, but even an average crab cake in Baltimore is better than anywhere else!
47. Order any sandwich at Trinacria. But no calling ahead to order like I do. You must wait in line for the full effect.
48. Order the popcorn and deviled eggs at Woodberry Kitchen. Before your appetizers, not in lieu of.
49. Have lunch on the patio at Sanders Corner overlooking the Loch Raven Reservoir.
50. Head to Carroll County for the best cream of crab soup at Smokey's BBQ on Liberty Road.
51. Stop at DiPasquale's in Highlandtown for their Italian and meatball subs.
52. Fried chicken livers from the Lexington Market.
53. Bagel with lox and cream cheese or apricot spread from Greg's.
54. Sit at the bar at Cinghiale and order anything. Talk to Rob about wine when Tony isn't in town.
55. Tamales from the food truck on Broadway.
56. Coddies on a cracker from a rowhouse bar.
57. Wander aisles of exotic produce - lychees! jackfruit! Indian eggplant! - at H Mart or Lotte Plaza in Catonsville. Eat some yummy bi bim bap or udon soup at the food court and then pick up a beautiful fresh whole fish for dinner before you head home.
58. Go to a bull/oyster roast or crab/shrimp feast at any number of Baltimore venues as long as you go to at least one at a V.F.W. hall, American Legion, Steelworkers Hall, fire hall, state park, etc.
59. Prime rib at the Prime Rib.
60. Greenberg Potato Skins from Prime Rib.
61. How about the fried green pepper rings at Gunnings!
62. You have to get a Popular Mozzarella Pie from Matthew's Pizza!
63. A baloney-wrapped hot dog from Attman's.
64. Pit beef from anywhere without a door.
65. Late night dinner at the Bel-Loc Diner.
66. Eat a "Tour of Samos" at Samos in Greektown (Greek salad, tzatziki and pita, kalamari, spinach pie, chicken souvlaki, dolmades, lamb chops, garlic shrimp, gyro, roasted potatoes).
67. Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding at Ale Mary's
68. Eat anything on the menu at Andy Nelson's.
69. Gravy fries.
70. Chicken salad from Graul's Market!
71. Old-fashioned Maryland stuffed ham.
72. OTTERBEIN'S COOKIES!!!!!!!!!!!
73. Raw beef and onion sandwich with raw yellow onion and salt and pepper on fresh rye bread (or pumpernickel).
74. Buy a crepe at Sofi's and enjoy it while watching a movie at the Charles.
75. Naron candy.
76. Polish dog with "the works" at Polock Johnny's.
77. Italian cold cut sub at Pastore's in Towson.
78. WOCKENFUSS CANDIES!!!!!!!!!!
79. Order the chocolate-chili bread pudding at the Blue Agave.
80. Have a picnic at Fort McHenry.
81. Any sandwich from Eddie's in Roland Park.
82. String bean rolls at Cafe Zen.
83. Garlic fries at Brewer's Art.
84. Oysters and beer at Cross Street Market!
85. Coffee from Zeke's.
86. Smoked platter from Neopol at Belvedere.
87. Go to the Wine Market on a Monday night and enjoy a neighborhood discount (extended to all diners).
88. Have an ice cream that contains vegetables at Dominion Ice Cream. [Ed.'s note: Now relocated to Hampden.]
89. Have Old Bay on things other than seafood. For instance, corn on the cob, potato salad, coleslaw.
90. Margarita in a hubcap from Nacho Mama's.
91. Take the Clipper City brewery tour.
92. Have a Black Eyed Susan cupcake at Charm City Cupcakes. It's one of my favorite things about Baltimore!
93. Get fruit and veggies from an a-rab.
94. Sip 'n Bite.
95. Sip a Bloody Mary with an Old Bay rimmer. I only see this done at Baltimore restaurants.
96. Enjoy a meal at Salt.
97. Eat the Berger cookie pie at Dangerously Delicious Pies in Federal Hill. A new tradition built on the old.
98. Mary Sue Easter Eggs.
99. Eat sushi in Towson.
100. Wiener schnitzel, red cabbage, and more at Eichenkranz in Highlandtown. The last traditional German food in the city.
I'm not sure what is so special about sushi in Towson, and I don't know why some things needed to be in all caps and exclamation marks, but whatever. A few things I'll add to the list:
I've heard a number of times about Mr. Bill's Terrace, but when we go out for steamed crabs (normally just eat them on the back deck), we usually go to LP Steamers. A rowhouse in Locust Point with some picnic tables inside and a roof deck when the weather is nice. Family run and classic Baltimore, and the crabs are great. Don't branch out to anything else on the menu, though.
If you're at Gunnings getting the fried green pepper rings, also get the chocolate eclair dessert. Yum. It's huge, big enough for like four people, and just awesome. You can also get an even bigger version that my family sometimes has in lieu of birthday cake.
The outdoor deck at Little Havana. Brunch with mimosas and spanish eggs or dinner with the fried pork cubes and a pitcher of mojitos.

Ironically enough
the three I’ve done are 3,4, and 5. And honestly, tried Bertha’s mussels, and it’s kinda dissapointing.
And if I had to contribute an item to a DC area version of this list it would be:
Getting chicken wings and french fries with mambo sauce at any chinese owned establishment, preferably in PG county.

Kinda surprised the soft crab sandwich isn't bolded
It doesn’t have to be on white bread. unless that is all you have got.
I’ve been hearing things about Elevation burger.
I won't eat a soft crab
It has eyes! It looks at you!

nope
eyes

No excuse
The eyes, mouth, gills, and apron are removed before the crab is pan fried (in butter). No deep frying to ruin it, thank you.

Crab foul
If you’re eating a crabcake or soft crab sandwich, not only does it have to be on white bread, it better be Sunbeam. Damn, son, get your crab etiquette right!
"(Brock Lesnar) is never in good spirits and he's not in good spirits now." - Dana White
I've done a fair number of these.
Bertha’s. Tio Pepe’s. Berger Cookies. Crab cakes, snowcones, lots more.
The one thing that bugs me is claiming that there’s only one place left in the city to get authentic German Food…completely ignoring the presence of Mueller’s on Harford Rd. For shame.

Thanksgiving without sauerkraut? No, thank you.

What?
6. Put marshmallow on your snowball.
I’m not from Baltimore.

Shaved ice with syrup
Not an actual snowball that you throw. Took me a second, too.
It’s a snowcone on the Shore. Didn’t know they call them snowballs in Baltimore.
"(Brock Lesnar) is never in good spirits and he's not in good spirits now." - Dana White
I figured that was the snowball part (heard it called that before).
But where does the marshmallow go? On top?
I'm guessing the middle
Sounds kinda stupid, though
"(Brock Lesnar) is never in good spirits and he's not in good spirits now." - Dana White
You can also put some in the bottom of the cup before you fill it with ice
I used to love it, but working with it by the bucketfull changed my perspective a bit.
that looks really disgusting....

a 100 thing area foodies must try on the Eastern Shore, Duck?

Not much of a foodie
Not sure I could get past 10.
"(Brock Lesnar) is never in good spirits and he's not in good spirits now." - Dana White
No it kicks ass
You get your snowball and the put the marshmallow on top. It’s liquidy, sorta like if you stirred up fluff a lot. then you mix it in. Yum!!
Favorite snowball flavor? Skylite.

ahahahah
it’s awesome.

Seriously, it's delicious
Although I haven’t had one of these in at least 10 years, so maybe you had to eat them as a little kid to enjoy them now. We always went to the snowball stand after Little League games. Root beer flavor + marshmallow cream = delight to little Eat More Esskay.

us too after our games
there was a really good snowball stand at the Papa John’s (the farm, not the pizza place). Also these people who lived not to far from us had a stand in their front yard in the summers and my friends and I would walk up there a lot. Nothing says summer like sitting in the hot hot sun with an ice cold snowball.
I don’t even remember the last time I had one, though. I know that like four years ago when I was moving my friend and I were driving through a seriously suspect neighborhood trying to find the dump in NW Baltimore and we drove past a snowball stand on the sidewalk and it was like a 100 degrees and I wanted to stop and get one and my friend was like, “Um, no. We’re driving through the ghetto like a couple of rednecks with two couches in the back of a pick-up truck. We’re not stopping for snowballs.”

It's blue

I like it
although I’m not opposed to grape or cherry. Two classics. Or blood orange.

After working in a snowball stand for a few years, you start to get creative.

blue is an adequate description.
it’s blue flavored. nice but as phil says, it’s a little weak.
I always love the watermelon flavor
It is great
I grew up in Reisterstown and then Carroll County, and every snowball place I’ve ever been too has offered at least marshmallow toppings. Most also offered chocolate topping, too.
There are places where you don't put marshmallow on snowballs?
I never even knew that was a Baltimore thing.

I didn't know there were places that did
Never heard of it. And I’ve lived in Maryland all my 41 years….
"(Brock Lesnar) is never in good spirits and he's not in good spirits now." - Dana White
there are places in maryland where it's called a snow cone?
Snow cone is that hard red, white and blue thing with no flavor you get at the circus. Snowball is in a big thick bad for the environment Styrofoam cup. (for duck, obvi, not Esskay who I can tell knows his way around a snowball)

But I guess I didn’t realize how local.

Snow cone only sounds right
if it’s in one of those paper cone thingies. And comes from the circus. And tastes like water.

If it's just in a cup
It’s either Italian Ice or a Crushed Ice.

shaved ice maybe
italian ice is totally different
Some Day, Matt Wieters Will Make The Cooperstown Crowd Laugh By Talking About The Time He Batted Behind Melvin Mora And Luke Scott. -Keith Law via Matt Wieters Facts
actually no
not shaved ice. Shaved ice is good, they have it at the beach. It’s that really fine, smooth ice. Snowballs are crunchier.
Some Day, Matt Wieters Will Make The Cooperstown Crowd Laugh By Talking About The Time He Batted Behind Melvin Mora And Luke Scott. -Keith Law via Matt Wieters Facts
Ive heard them all up here
Snowball, snowcone, shaved ice, and the amazingly idiotic Philly variation, water ice. Yep, they sure are lame in Philly.
Don't hate my culture, man :)
Next thing you know, you’ll be hatin’ on vinegar on french fries.

Aparently calls them “American fries”. Here’s a better marketing plan: don’t sell hamburgers for 14 bucks.
its dan snyder
what do you expect?
although i did get a shake from there at a redskins game and once in union station. for 20 bucks, you can consume two incredibly bad-for-you shakes too!
Wow
I did not know Dan Snyder owned Johnny Rockets. I’ve eaten there once, maybe twice. I wasn’t planning on ever doing it again, but that seals the deal.

We called them snowballs growing up in Hagerstown.
Crap, I had a snowball stand from the ages of 11-13, it was awesome, and we most definitely offered a marshmallow topping and served them in styrofoam cups for the low, low price of 75 cents.

thats awesome
you cant get anything for 75 cents these days. or anything good that is. certainly not anything “blue” flavored with a sweet marshmellow topping.

It's a snowball in AA county
If it is served out of somebody’s garage, or at the end of their driveway, or out of a wooden stand.
If the ice is a mashed up from a block.
And if a top selling flavor is egg custard
its a snowball
Y'all are weird

One appreciation
Thank you for labeling this list Baltimore instead of Maryland. The Babe Ruth Museum pisses me off because they SAY they are a Maryland sports museum, but there’s not a thing about Salisbury U’s multiple state championships or any NCAA champs from UMES. It’s like the state gets cut off at the Bay Bridge.
And if we were including the state, you’d have to include from my neck of th3 woods…
101) Scrapple (preferably with pancake syrup)
102) Oyster Sandwich from Sharptown Firemen’s parade
103) Smith Island cake (9 layers, minimum, preferably 11)
104) Thrasher’s French Fries with vinegar. Don’t shame yourself asking for ketchup.
"(Brock Lesnar) is never in good spirits and he's not in good spirits now." - Dana White
thrashers and smith island cake are both on there

i second jobe: bertha’s used to be the shit, but last time i went, the mussels weren’t even average. they pretty much sucked.
on the plus side, i have their sticker on my car, and once in a while, i get a whoop from a fellow baltimorean who recognizes it.
"I doubt he could reach [second base]...mostly cuz his fucking arm was in Aybar's nuts." – twistedlogic
When I went
my party had planned on eating a full dinner there. We ordered the mussels to start, and it just wasn’t very good. We ended up just going to a place in Little Italy.

Towson is a hidden mecca for sushi?

WHile Natty Boh is still my favorite "light beer"
You guys need to get the Flying Dog. It’s basically local and it’s the best I’ve ever had. I’m not a concessioner of beer, but it’s the best I’ve had.
ANd in re: to #89 “Put Old Bay on things other than seafood.” French fries are amazing with Old Bay. Any kind of fry.
The stock market will never recover, our armies will never again be #1, and our children will drink filthy water for the rest of their lives - HST
Old Bay Mashed Potatoes = yum
And while Flying Dog is good, it’s in the “DC suburb” of Frederick. Be a true Baltimorean and grab a Heavy Seas craft brew from Clipper city. Loose Cannon – their IPA – is one of my favorite beers.
I love Clipper City and Flying Dog
MarzHon, yum.
Flying Dog, love the Pale Ale and Hefeweizen.

Old Bay + mashed potatoes = AWESOME.
Old Bay + Deviled Eggs = is there another way to eat deviled eggs? If so, it must suck. Eggs, that is.
From the Land of Pleasant Living...
Old + Pretty much anything = AWESOME
you have no idea how disappointed i was when i moved to philly and discovered that “crab fries” are just fries with old bay on them. I never thought of old bay on fries as something special.
oh no
If I ordered something called crab fries and they came out without any crab on them I’d be sad. Of course, crab chips just have old bay on them and they are awesome.
Some Day, Matt Wieters Will Make The Cooperstown Crowd Laugh By Talking About The Time He Batted Behind Melvin Mora And Luke Scott. -Keith Law via Matt Wieters Facts
Its just strange to hear people talk about Old Bay as something special, instead of a staple
I dont remember ever not having an old bay shaker right next to the salt and pepper.
I don't get the Frederick = DC suburbs thing.
I know it’s technically their metro area, but why completely escapes me. It’s farther away from DC than Baltimore is. It’s closer to Pennsylvania than DC.
But I love the nickname “Fredneck”. :)
From the Land of Pleasant Living...
I think because
You can hop right on 270 and go into DC. A lot of people live in Frederick and commute to DC, not as many to Baltimore. People who want to live in a sparser area and commute to Baltimore live just over the line in PA.

I just had my first Thanksgiving without kraut
in forever (literally). It made me very sad.
"I like baseball, movies, good clothes, whiskey, fast cars ... and you. What else you need to know?"
Also, if you're in/near Hagerstown
Krumpe’s Do-nuts, get them fresh because they aren’t good any other way. Seriously, go there.

100 Things You Should Not Eat in Moscow
Pretty much anything makes the list. But they DO have about 100 ways to prepare spuds. ‘Cause that’s what they can always get, presumably.
Oh, and there are 100 Ways to Drink Vodka.
1. Standing up.
2. Sitting down.
3. Through your nose.
[…]
99. From her other armpit.
100. Standing up again.

"There's only one cure for what's wrong with all of us pitchers, and that's to take a year off. Then, after you've gone a year without throwing, quit altogether." -Jim Palmer
Anyway you ingest it qualifies as legitimate, I believe, although I have never mainlined.
And between you and me: I prefer Absolut (lemon). Just don’t tell anybody or I’m toast…
"Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." Churchill,1942-- a rebuilding year.
50. Head to Carroll County for the best cream of crab soup at Smokey's BBQ on Liberty Road.
Two minutes from my house…delicious food
A few more...
101. Get The Santino at DiPasquale’s in Highlandtown – prosciutto, homemade fresh mozzarella, basil, olive oil and tomatoes on a roll freshly baked right there. Delicious…and the sub size is big enough for two meals.
102. Chicken Rico – The best Peruvian rotisserie chicken I’ve had. Also located in Highlandtown, a few blocks from DiPasquale’s.
103. The best Bagels in town are from Goldberg’s in Pikesville. Not cheap, but very good. High New York caliber.
104. Vaccaro’s Cannoli. EL mentions the all you can eat night, but the cannoli are really the star of the show at this amazing Little Italy institution. They are hands down the best I’ve ever had – and I’ve had them all over the world.
105. She mentions Mr. Bill’s in Essex for crabs, but for me the spot to head to is Cantler’s near Annapolis. Great setting overlooking the water. Great crabs fresh off the boat.
Yes to Cantler's. Good call.
Yes to all of that stuff, really. Well I’ve never heard of Chicken Rico, but now I want to try it.

Definitely try Chicken Rico...
…it’s delicious and they give you a mountain of food for an el cheapo price. I don’t think you can find more bang for the buck. It’s right on Eastern Ave, near all the bong shops. Whether or not this is to cater to the Munchies crowd, I can’t say.
Goldbergs
we have a chain up here in NJ called Goldbergs. The chain is really just a name, as one of the locations is terrible. 2 of their other locations are pretty much my favorite bagel shops though, and bagels are probably my favorite breakfast food of all time. Wonder if it’s the same guys…
As far as Vaccaro’s, they are great. I love me some cannoli. I think I like Rocco’s and Veniero’s in NYC a bit more, but it’s hard to compare really.
You gotta be kidding me...
…Sorry, but I take cannoli very seriously and I also happened to live down the street from Veniero’s for 15 years. Their cannoli are not even close to Vaccaro’s. Venieros’ specializes in fruit tarts and pies and such. The rest of the items there seem like an afterthought so they can call themselves and Italian bakery and keep a straight face. I’ve never tried Rocco’s, but I also have an aversion to Bleecker Street. The best cannoli I had in New York were on Arthur Avenue in The Bronx at a bakery called Egidio. But honestly they were nowhere near Vaccaros’ though.
As for Goldberg’s, I think there is some connection between the shop in Baltimore and those in NJ. The Baltimore shop website mentions they were originally on the LES and then moved to Jersey. But it doesn’t list any others in a chain. My guess is it’s the same family but different members owning the shops.
Goldberg's
I find that there are many bagel shops called Golberg’s. I don’t know how many of you live in the DC suburbs (I live in Silver Spring), but there’s a kosher bagelry in Rockville that, well, to put it bluntly, sucks majorly.
I refuse to buy crabs anywhere off the Eastern Shore.
And thankfully no one said Phillips. They use South Asian crabs now, not even Chesapeake blues. I’ll buy mine all-you-can-eat at the Red Roost or the Old Mill outside of Salisbury, or on the dock at Crisfield and steam them myself.
If I still had traps and a net, I’d just catch them myself. Nothing like a few buck’s worth of chicken necks and back and some heavy duty twine to catch a free dinner….

ew Phillips is gross
Give us SOME credit, dude.
When I was a kid my dad and brother and I would go crabbing over on the ES. It was great.
