Bistro Rx- New Chef, New Menu Items - Still Great Wine & Beer
New chef in town - excited? Loss for the Wine Market is Wayne's gain at Bistro.
Slowly he is adjusting the menu - like adding White Truffle Oil to some dishes' French Fries.
Some newer entree adds- are the St. Louis style ribs & crab cake -huge portion, Steak & Frites topped with a Gorgonzola glaze - aka huge chunks of good stinky cheese and trout with smashed garbonzo beans!
Remaining are both beef and bison burgers as well as bison and beef steak options.
Largest changes to date are with the brunch menu.
Check out this weekend - pancake battered-fried, Twinkies served with strawberry coulis.
New brunch burger has bacon and yes of course the fried egg - really should this be a brunch item or menu staple?
Great shoestring fried with or w/o truffle oil!
Tuesday nights are half price bottles of wine - entire menu - not just the cheap ones- treat yourself - you won't be disappointed - well you may not be able to go back to the $15 buys but hey- risk I am willing to take every time. Wayne also is one of the few in town selling Cava by the glass. By the glass means the individual mini bottles which you easily get 2 pours from- fabulous idea!
Happy Hour 4-7pm.
No New Year's Eve party hear - just great entree specials like lamb! Get to Bistro Rx this weekend and give it a try!

Lots of Booze News- Beer & Wine!
Love Mahaffey's Pub?
Think we all know the answer to that question! YES! Owner Wayne is rounding out his business venture with the opening of Bistro Rx . Look out Canton and Upper Fells residents, Butcher's Hill is getting its own wine bar that serves food.
It will open next week on Thursday, 10/7.
No longer do you need to hit up the crowded square - though we appreciate Helen's Garden!
No more grabbing just a drink at Chesapeake in the Can Co. Lets be honest, Chesapeake is really a retail wine store which serves cheese and some tiny pizzas. Great select and knowledgeable staff but it is not the same as having wines paired with several course. That is not to say Bistro Rx will be pretentious. For those that know Wayne personally, I think you will agree given his hard work ethic and personality Bistro Rx will be a huge success. If Mahaffeys is any example of how folks take their beer serious and not themselves. This neighborhood will embrace Bistro Rx quickly.
Located at 2901 E Baltimore St Baltimore, MD 21224-1343
Please get out next week and help Wayne kick off the grand opening with a bang.
Curious about the name- building used to be a pharmacy long long ago....i.e. Rx.
One can keep up with Mahaffeys pub or bistrorx on twitter.

Valdeón Cheese- Best Spanish Blue Cheese
Currently, this has to be my favorite cheese and maybe all time favorite Blue cheese.
Selling at Baltimore's Whole Foods for $11.99/lb.
Made with Cow's or Goat's milk. Wrapped in Maple or Chestnut leaves. From the Leon region.
What is so surprising about this blue is its pockets of caramel like sweetness. It is of course very salty first off but as you let this cheese melt in your mouth you feel the creaminess and embrace the earthy, mild stink (in comparison to other blues) and then you find these spots of nutty sweetness. I would compare it to how some aged Goudas had tiny almost crunchy sweet crystals.
What to pair this with:
Strawberries & Balsamic glaze
Figs & Steak
Cherries & Pork Chops
Candied Walnuts & Radicchio
Fresh Spinach & Toasted Hazelnuts
Caramelized Onions & Morels
Wine: Fruity Pinot Noir, CA Zinfandel, Round Cabernet, Albarino
