Are there any local potato chip makers?
Everyone in MD considers UTZ as local. I have tried the boutique brands and the competitors. UTZ is as good as it gets for me.
Informal Baltimore Birthday Dinner Venue?
Try Tyson's Tavern at 2112 Fleet Street www.tysonstavern.net
They are in Fells Point or Canton, depending on how you look at it.
The food is excellent and atmosphere comfortable. Prices are very reasonable. Sunday is game day and you can watch the game on the large projection screen or the TVs. They have great crabcakes, the usual pub fare, hand-cut steaks, poppers that are out of this world and much more. The food is made on the premises; nothing comes in frozen or premade from a restaurant supply house. The drinks are very well done and reasonably priced. There is an exceptional beer selection both on tap and by bottle. The tavern is on the premises of the original site of National Boh but the historic building has other things to about which to brag. I'm a wine drinker and sometimes just ask the owner to pick something out for me knowing he worked at Flemings and is very particular about everything he serves. Dean makes a proper martini, too! On other days of the week you can hear live, music and watch the games. Over the past two years I have taken at least ten people there for dinner and the place always comes through! You should call in advance for 10 people.
