While I do admit that we mostly enjoy "dining out" rather than just "eating out", I also love finding "funky little joints" which is why I adore Guy Fieri of Triple D's (Diners, Drive In's & Dives) from the Food Network, so with my handy book written by him, given to me by my daughter & her boyfriend of all his "favorite spots" I will, of course, be checking some of them out!
On my trip to Baltimore a few weeks ago, he suggested & highly recommended the "Blue Moon" Diner for Breakfast, and while I am not a big breakfast fan, it was worth the 45 minutes- yes, a 45 minute wait for this fantastic fun little hole in the wall joint!
Back in my catering days, I used to make a stuffed french toast- thick challah bread filled with vanilla flavored cream cheese, mixed with marscapone cheese, raisins, cinnamon and sliced bananas, sauteed to perfection with GOOD maple syrup! Well, Blue Moon had a version with Brioche bread, sliced bananas & strawberries, and then dipped in their own special "Captain Crunch" cereal & served over fresh whipped cream, garnished with raspberries & blueberries! OMG!!
So, Guy is the Man and I will checking out a few lunch places that he writes about, as well as talked about on his show, and some places suggested by some friends & clients, as well as the dinner reservations I have had for MONTHS for 2 of my special places there, so look for my posts when I return next week & I will try and add some photos! Happy Eating!
Too funny - I went to the Blue Moon Diner in Baltimore 5 years ago and it was amazing! I haven't been able to remember the name because we just stumbled upon it and it was such a find! :)
