Ding ding! 🛎️ Order up!
Our December issue is hot off the griddle. This month, we pay homage to the enduring joy of Baltimore’s old-school eateries: diners.
“The diner counter is the caffeinated version of the neighborhood bar,” writes research editor Amy Scattergood, “where you can sit with a refillable mug and talk up your server or your neighbor over a plate of eggs and home fries, a short stack, and a side of bacon, and feel somehow at home, whatever time it is, and wherever you are.”

There’s no place like Baltimore. 💕
“Sure, there are bigger cities and fancier cities and more famous ones, but is there any city on earth that combines Baltimore’s creativity, personality, quirkiness, and grit?” writes editor-in-chief @maxthegirl. A resounding no to that.

March Issue Preview
Feast your eyes on our March issue, Baltimore. Our annual Best Restaurants list is officially here. 🎉
A decade ago, our food and dining editor [tag] Jane Marion developed an internal ratings sheet to codify the selection processes. It addresses four categories—food, ambiance, service, and value. Within those categories, our dining editors ask dozens of questions: Did the menu meet its mission? Was the food executed as ordered? How was it plated? How did it taste? How was the overall pacing? Was it fun to sit in the space? Would we go back again?
The result of this work serves as a sort of annual report card of the scene.
