This Weekend Open Houses is Brought to you by Jackie McGee of Cummings & Co. Realtors:
A federal Hill resident for 16 years and a Maryland Realtor for over 12 years, I enjoy the experience of helping neighbors, friends and new clients as well, in searching for that right home or selling their existing home. My business comes mostly by referral from past clients. That makes my job very rewarding! Each and every buyer or seller has individual and specific needs & goals. I am here to guide them through the various steps with honesty, caring and professionalism. I value responsiveness in others – the lender, the title company, the service tradesman I use to help with a home’s readiness – and above all in myself. Contact me to discuss how I can help you with your home sale or next home purchase. I look forward to speaking with you.

Bluegrass
Chef Will Sterling, the new owner of Bluegrass, invited SouthBMore.com out to taste some of the new flavors on the menu. Sterling and Chef Antonio Rice have teamed up on some great new dishes, while keeping many of the favorites that have made Bluegrass so popular.
I started with the Sweet Tea Smoked Chicken sandwich, which was comprised of a sweet tea-battered chicken breast topped with Carolina BBQ sauce and pickles, alongside hand-cut fries. It was delicious. I followed it up with samples of the cheesecake and key lime pie, both of which were outstanding.
I look forward to trying more of the new additions and revisiting some of my favorite plates.
Our House
During a recent trip to Our House in Locust Point, we enjoyed talking to co-owner Dianne DeSantis about her passion for pizza and making people feel at home at her restaurant. If you haven’t been to this cozy spot, you should definitely check it out.
We started with the Our House house salad with their ‘Dam Good’ dressing (the name really says it all, you’ll be tempted to buy a bottle to take home). We also had the Antipasto Pizza with their red sauce, cheeses, ham, artichokes, and peppers. It was a great, medium thickness pie full of great flavor.
Encantada
I’ve always been a fan of Birrotecca and Nickel Taphouse, so I was excited when owners Robbin and Tanya Haas decided to open their next concept, Encantada, in Federal Hill at the American Visionary Art Museum. The restaurant has plenty of options for vegans and vegetarians, but a lot of traditional dishes as well.
On a recent trip I sampled their starters including the Crispy Chick Peas, Deviled Turnips, and Nashville Cauliflower. I followed it up with the Chik’n Sammy with housemade seiten, Nashville hot sauce onion slaw, lettuce, and tomato on ciabatta. All were vegan and would taste good to any kind of eater. I finished strong with some mango sorbet from Taharka Bros.
Culinary Architecture
Pigtown has a great new marketplace to grab lunch and dinner with the opening of Culinary Architecture on Washington Blvd. They offer all kinds of cool sauces, spreads, chips, and goodies for your kitchen, as well as sandwiches, meat pies, dinners to-go, and more from its kitchen.
On a recent trip we got a their oven-roasted turkey sandwich on a french baguette, topped with cilantro, garlic aioli, carrots, cucumbers, and cheese. We also had a BBQ chicken Australian meat pie and finished in style with a fresh chocolate chip cookie and chocolate pudding topped with extra virgin olive oil and sea salt. Everything was fresh, unique, and tasty.

Have a GREAT weekend!
Joined by friends and neighbors, we had an incredible time at our second annual SouthBMore’s Best Bash at Little Havana last week. Thanks for voting in SouthBMore.com’s competition and thanks for celebrating. We look forward to seeing you again next year!
There was a ton of great food, drinks, and giveaways, all of which wouldn’t have been possible without our incredible sponsors including Sagamore Development, Sagamore Spirit, and Merritt Athletic Clubs and many local businesses, restaurants, and brewers. A big thank you to them, as well as to Jessica Gignac and Rachel Robinson of Intrinsic Events, Little Havana, and SouthBMore.com’s Director of Sales Mary Wargo for helping to put together such an incredible party.
Now check out an awesome photo gallery courtesy of our photography sponsor Matthew Pasley and the photo booth team at Pixilated Photo Booth (purchase photos here), based right here in South Baltimore. Make sure to contact both of them for all of your events and photography needs.
