New Crown Royal Commercial Filmed at The Outpost American Tavern in Federal Hill

Canadian whiskey company Crown Royal has a new “Kick Off With Crown Royal” series of commercials that has a very Baltimore feel to it. It stars former Ravens Hall of Fame Safety Ed Reed and was filmed inside The Outpost American Tavern in Federal Hill.

The 16-second version of the commercial is set entirely at The Outpost, and the 30-second and one-minute version of the spot also have shots from within The Outpost. Both longer versions of the commercial have additional shots of Baltimore.

At the end of each of the commercials, Reed does a cheers with Glenn Younes, who is the executive director of the Ed Reed Foundation and was a former sports talk show host on 105.7 The Fan.

Spirts Tavern in Upper Fells Point is also featured in the series with “Dave” the doorman set up outside.

The Alliance Restaurant Group, which owns The Outpost, told SouthBMore.com that “it was awesome to be featured in a national commercial.”

Trial By Fire Candle Co. Opens Production Space in Federal Hill

Trial By Fire Candle Co. opened an office and production space earlier this year at 1412 Light St. in Federal Hill. The first-floor space has been used as on office space in recent years.

Trial by Fire was started by Federal Hill resident Mike Hoffman in April 2020. Hoffman has been the singing piano player at Ropewalk Tavern and its other locations at the beach since 2014. Hoffman said a lot of people around the neighborhood know him as “Piano Mike.” Hoffman was playing piano full time between Ropewalk, weddings, casinos, and events before COVID-19.

Hoffman also attended the The Culinary Institute of America (CIA) and was a corporate chef for 10 years. Hoffman started making candles as a hobby and said being a chef helps create the scent combinations for the candles.

“It’s the closest thing to being a chef without making something edible,” he said.

When the pandemic hit, Hoffman began selling candles to raise money for Baltimore Bartender Relief. He would Venmo the profits to random bartenders around the area. The demand for his candles picked up and he want from pouring 50 to 100 candles at a time to 500 to 1,000 a time. This catapulted Hoffman’s candle-making business into his full-time job, although he does still play piano a couple times a month at Ropewalk.

Trial By Fire does a lot of wholesale with its biggest customers being Brightside Boutique and 2910 on The Square, as well as some businesses in Hoffman’s hometown of Philadelphia. The candles are also offered on Trial by Fire’s website.

Hoffman plans on hosting some pop-ups at its Federal Hill location around the holiday season. He also hopes to open a full-time retail shop in Federal Hill in the future when he can catch up on production and have the adequate staff.

Trial By Fire’s candles are 100 percent soy and carcinogen- and toxin-free. Hoffman said they have a long burn time with the 8-ounce candles lasting 50 to 60 hours and the 16-ounce candles lasting 80 to 100 hours. He said “the whole house will smell good” with his candles.

Hoffman makes earthy and masculine scents, and gives many of them comical names. Scents include Basic Witch, Fifty Shades of Flame, F*CKBOY REPELLENT, and Dirty Hippy. He expects All I Want for Christmas to be his top seller in the coming months.

Candles are $20 for an 8-ounce candle and $32 for a 16-ounce candle.

Hoffman uses the basement at 1412 Light St. for pouring the candles and the first floor for storage, display, and processing orders. In production, Hoffman mixes the fragrance oils to make the scents, adds them to the hot wax, and then pours the solution into the glass candle jars. He then labels the candles and boxes them up for shipping.

Trial by Fire has three employees who help Hoffman with production.

Blowfish Poke Opens at Cross Street Market in Federal Hill

Blowfish Poke has opened at Cross Street Market in Federal Hill. It takes the place of Annoula’s Greek Kitchen, which never reopened after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Blowfish Poke is owned by Na Yi and Jennie Kwon. Yi formerly owned two Hunan Taste locations and started the Jasmine Smoothie World and Bubble Tea franchise.

Yi and Kwon took a trip to Hawaii to learn more about poke and Hawaiian food before launching Blowfish Poke, which now has three locations. Its Clarksville location at the Clarksville Commons food hall opened in 2019, and its Marriottsville location opened in April. The company also has two food trucks and will be opening a location in Washington, D.C.

Blowfish Poke’s Clarksville location won Best Food Hall Stall in the Baltimore Magazine Best Restaurant Readers Poll 2021 and has won other local awards in its brief history.

Yi said they were pursued by the leasing team at CANAdev to come to Cross Street Market.

Customers at Blowfish Poke can build their own poke bowl or get different Hawaiian specialties. Customers first choose a base of white rice, red rice, spring mix, or a combination. Next they choose a protein of tuna, salmon, crab salad, shrimp tempura, grilled chicken, or beef. Customers can add unlimited toppings such as cilantro, green onion, edamame, seaweed salad, avocado, and kimchi. Crisps such as sesame seeds and wasabi peas are added next, followed by a sauce which includes the options of Yum Yum, spicy mayo, spicy Korean, sriracha, soy sauce, eel sauce, and avocado lime.

Hawaiian entrees include the Loco Moco which is a beef patty with rice, gravy, and a sunny side egg; the Kalua pork with cabbage; and garlic shrimp. All entrees come with a choice of two sides with the options being macaroni salad, broccoli salad, or rice.

Additional sides available for purchase include Spam Musubi, fries, deviled avocado, and a shrimp tempura box.

Blowfish Poke also sells mochi donuts which are made from rice flour. Yi said these have surged in popularity at bakeries in New York City and Los Angeles. Blowfish Poke’s mochi donut flavors are matcha, mango, strawberry, purple ube, and chocolate.

Drinks include sodas and Hawaiian Sun.

Blowfish Poke is open everyday from 11am to 830pm.

Poke shop Ono Poke closed at the adjacent stall earlier this year and that stall remains vacant.

New Ownership for Harborplace “Hopefully by the End of the Year”

As Waterfront Partnership was celebrating the opening of phase one of the Rash Field redevelopment at the Inner Harbor, there was a sense of optimism for the Harborplace pavilions that have been stuck in receivership since June 2019. Waterfront Partnership President Laurie Schwartz told SouthBMore.com the ownership situation at the shopping pavilions will be resolved “hopefully by the end of year.” She added, “it’s coming.”

Ashkenazy Acquisition Corporation took over ownership of the Light Street and Pratt Street Pavilions at Harborplace in 2013 and began renovations in 2017. But, the renovations dragged on and tenants began to leave the complex in recent years. This included Banana Republic, Ripley’s Believe It or Not, Philly Pretzel Factory, Urban Outfitters, Build-A-Bear, M&S Grille, Noodles & Company, Five Guys, and La Tasca.

Remaining tenants at Harborplace include Hooters, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., The Cheesecake Factory, Uno Chicago Grill, Tir Na Nog Irish Restaurant & Pub, It’s Sugar, Mason’s Famous Lobster Rolls, and H&M.

New ownership for Harborplace would come at a time with increasing retail struggles for Pratt St. at the Inner Harbor. The Gallery at Harborplace mall will close at the end of the year as the complex has been losing tenants in recent years. Large retail tenants Jos. A Bank and Brio Tuscan Grille closed at 100 E. Pratt St. in recent years. A new retail pavilion is planned for 10 E. Pratt St., but has yet to break ground.

414 Light St. opened in 2019 and has added to the dining mix at the Inner Harbor. Utsuke Ramen opened in 2019 and vegan restaurants Double Zero and Liora both opened this fall.

Waterfront Partnership is also seeking a cafe partner for a space in the new pavilion at Rash Field.

Today, Waterfront Partnership was joined by Baltimore City Mayor Brandon Scott, Maryland Senate President Bill Ferguson, corporate funders, the Baltimore City Department of Recreation and Parks (BCRP), City and State officials, community and project partners, and youth from Solo Gibbs Recreation Center for the ribbon cutting of the first phase of Rash Field Park. On Saturday and Sunday, Waterfront Partnership, BCRP, and local professional skaters will welcome residents and families to the park with free activities for all ages.

Waterfront Partnership has been working to advance the park project with the Baltimore community since 2015. It has engaged with stakeholders to transform the “outdated, concrete-dominated space” on the south shore of the Inner Harbor into “a place for families from across the city to gather, and for children to explore, relax and experience fun, education and wonder.”

Phase one added two play areas – an adventure park with a pair of 30-ft. wooden towers and the BGE Nature Play area; Jake’s Skate Park named in memory of Jake Owen, an avid skater and sports lover who was killed when he was five years old by a cell phone-distracted driver in 2011; a shade lawn; a green overlook; and, the BGE Pavilion. A café is slated to open at the pavilion in the spring with outdoor seating and views of the waterfront.

Waterfront Partnership is working with Baltimore Development Corporation to find an operator for the café.

Mahan Rykiel Associates serves as the park’s designer, and Whiting-Turner serves as general contractor and construction manager. Global design and architecture firm Gensler designed the BGE Pavilion.

Funding for phase one came from the City of Baltimore, State of Maryland, hundreds of residents, and corporations. This includes a gift of $300,000 from T. Rowe Price to support the adventure park, as well as $100,000 each from Brown Advisory, M&T Bank, H&S Family of Bakeries, the Bunting Family Foundation, and Abell Foundation. These companies and foundations joined BGE which committed $1 million to help fund the BGE Pavilion and BGE Nature Play area.

Free events for the public on Saturday, November 6th include a clinic at Jake’s Skate Park with local professional skateboarders, Skate Park of Baltimore, and DJ, Zumba!; an Invertebrate Meet-N-Greet for kids in the BGE Nature Play area; and afternoon yoga taught by Waterfront Wellness partner Breathing Dragon Yoga. On Sunday, November 7th there will be yoga taught by BCRP; biking around the promenade; garden discovery with the Carrie Murray Nature Center; and a skateboarding demo by professional skateboarder and Baltimorean Joey Jett.

Phase two is expected to have a focus on recreation, fitness, and wellness with soccer fields, walking and jogging paths, exercise equipment, an open lawn, a game lawn, a reimagined beach area with volleyball courts and space for families, butterfly and bird gardens, and the relocation of the Pride Memorial.

“We were so thrilled to see our vision for Baltimore families come to life today with children of all ages climbing, laughing and playing in the Park,” said Laurie Schwartz, president of Waterfront Partnership, in a press release. “Truly, none of this would have been possible without the vital funding from the City of Baltimore, State of Maryland and private donors. I want to recognize and thank them all for their partnership and for prioritizing access to quality public open spaces.”

Schwartz said there is not yet a timeline for starting phase two, but noted it would be a quicker construction project. She said the cost will likely be around $14 million.

Phase two has already received a funding commitment from the State of Maryland and CareFirst.
