So Anthony has already come and gone in Baltimore, but he wrote about it in one of his recent blog posts entitled "Rust Never Sleeps". I don't quite know how to feel about this title and what he's trying to say about Baltimore with it. Is it a jab at our skeeziness or an endearing nod to the working class of Charm City? eh. I think he is pretentious. I prefer Andrew Zimmern; but I can't think of anything worth eating for his show in Baltimore.
So supposedly Tony went to Mo's in Fell's I think? Right off of President? I'm pretty sure that's what is over there. I have never been there but read that it's sort of an old school establishment specializing in seafood, he dines with none other than "Snoop" from the Wire. While I like the association of the Wire with Baltimore, I think there is much more to our intimate town...there seems to be limited focus when it comes to outsiders; either crabcakes or something associated with poverty and drugs. Sad face :(
I will be watching the show though, always interested in Baltimore "in the media".
PS- Bourdian will be in DC next Monday...ugh.

Mo's Seafood isn't "old-school" Baltimore and it doesn't serve Maryland crabmeat. I don't even think it serves Blue Crab. The high prices at that dump are for inferior China and Thai crab. Blech!

Baltimore is a stop on his tour of the Rust Belt.
