I recently had the pleasure of discovering another Baltimore hidden treasure. Sunday brunch at Captain Larry's on Fort Ave. A very tiny corner bar with just a few tables and some bar seats. Cash ONLY but does have an ATM on the inside - convenient!

Our party kicked the morning off right with booze! Can't beat the $3 bloodies (Spicy or not) and Mimosas - both of which you could taste the booze- NICE!

If you are a local football fan you will recognize the names of many of their dishes:
Todd Heap O'Pancakes, Kelly Greggnog French Toast, Suggs Slider Package [2 Fried Egg English Muffin Sammies each topped with Cheese & choice of Bacon or Turkey Sausage served with Home Fries, add a burger] etc... our group tried on a few staple dishes as well as daily specials.

Brunchos- or these days - Totos - Tater Tots topped with Scrambled Eggs, Black Beans, choice of Bacon or Chorizo, melted Cheese, Avocado & Pico de Gallo served with Sour Cream & fresh Salsa - Talk about a heart attack in a bowl - this was good enough to satisfy our 6ft+ dining companion w/o a problem.

House made Quiche of the day- Mushroom and Brie served with a side Caesar salad topped with fried tortellini.

Pancakes of the day were Blueberry - couldn't resist had to order a side order of 1 - yes, they not only allow it but encourage it. Served smothered in good BOURBON Syrup. It was like dessert with breakfast.

Special of the day - Breakfast Cheesesteak sub- with whiz! served with housecut fries.

This is only just the beginning. For the faint of heart of they always offered scrambled egg whites, salad, or soup of the day. Average menu prices are $8.

Trust me you won't go hungry or broke at this special corner bar. In case you were concerned - they DO have highchairs for the kiddies. So, do not hesitate - make Captain Larry's your next Sunday hot spot.

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!
