I could have called this Food Porn: Baltimore. In fact, that was the whole point of the trip...to hit up various Baltimore eateries to do a "taste of the town" for a few hours with my friend Mike. But we made one critical error in our planning. We started off too big. Copious amounts of meat on a bun, kind of big. We went on from there to try some macaroons and eat some sushi at Ra Sushi, but those aren't even worth discussing because all I seemed to taste for the rest of the day was sweet meat.Our first stop where we peaked too early is called Abbey Burger Bistro in Federal Hill. This came at the recommendation of a bunch of friends who have visited Baltimore. Essentially it's a build your own burger kind of bar, with a crazy number of options. Just look at this list!
We started off with fried alligator bites, which looked a bit like hush puppies. I wasn't too keen on them, but what was coming on the burger more than made up for the less than exciting appetizer.
Meat options included the typical angus beef, but also duck, red deer, wild boar, alligator...you name it, they killed it and made it an option on the menu! I opted for an angus burger with Guinness cheddar, caramelized onions, pickles, and Maker's Mark BBQ sauce, all served on a pretzel bun.
My friend Mike opted for a fried green tomato burger with crab dip, bacon and some other stuff on top. I was too distracted by my meaty creation. As you can see below. So if you make it up to Baltimore, check this place out. I think it was well worth the traffic. Check them out at: http://www.abbeyburgerbistro.com/
