Spoons Cafe Mentioned on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball Broadcast

Last night the Baltimore Orioles played in the MLB Little League Classic in Williamsport, PA. The game was broadcasted on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball, as well as on ESPN2’s KidsCast hosted by young broadcasters. During the KidsCast, Orioles player Ryan McKenna was interviewed in the 6th inning and gave a shoutout to Spoons Cafe & Coffee Roasters in Federal Hill.

When asked by 14-year-old broadcaster Leo Roth if he has any favorite food spots in Baltimore, McKenna said, “If you’re breakfast people, go to Spoons Cafe. It’s right Downtown. They got some really good breakfast – some really good waffles, omelettes, scrambles, all that stuff.”

SouthBMore.com posted the video to Instagram and Spoons responded in an Instagram story saying, “Whaaa!!! This is so cool!!! Thank you so much Ryan, we’re honored!!!”

Spoons has been serving breakfast and coffee in Federal Hill since the 1990s.

Patrick Dahlgren Returns as Owner of ‘Rowhouse’ in Federal Hill

Patrick Dahlgren, who started Federal Hill restaurant Rowhouse more than 10 years ago, has taken the business back over after selling it a few years ago. Dahlgren focused his time away from Rowhouse running his other restaurant The Avenue Kitchen & Bar in Hampden. He is also a partner of a bar in Dewey Beach, DE.

Dahlgren, who purchased the building at 1400 Light St. in 2008 and performed a large renovation before opening Rowhouse, called it “his baby.” He said he knew he would likely return at some point and said “it’s good to be back.”

Dahlgren said he needed a break from the business after his best friend and fellow Rowhouse staff member Alex “Albo” Wroblewski was murdered in 2017 during a robbery in Locust Point. He described how difficult it was to be in a building where he spent so much time with Wroblewski.

Dahlgren and his contractors are currently spending Mondays and Tuesdays doing renovations to the space. One new addition will be a wall dedicated to Wroblewski. Dahlgren will also bring back the tradition of putting a picture of Wroblewski’s face on the Heavy Seas Loose Cannon beer tap.

Dahlgren also plans to revamp the wood storefront and improve the outdoor seating area, and said he’s interested in getting parklet dining on the street. A new sound system and television will be added inside, and a new mural will be completed on the second floor. The mural on the exterior wall of Rowhouse will be redone.

Dahlgren changed the name of the restaurant from The Rowhouse Bar & Grille to just Rowhouse.

Chef Audiel Viera, who’s been working at The Avenue for five years, is leading the kitchen at Rowhouse. While the menu will remain “new American” at Rowhouse, there will be some Mexican influences as Viera is originally from Mexico. Dahlgren said there will about 25 items on the menu including fresh fish, New York strip, and entrée specials every week.

The menu features tacos, sandwiches, salads, and starters such as street corn, wings, and truffle fries.

Brunch is a big focus for Rowhouse and Dahlgren said he’s going for a “Fort Lauderdale vibe.” Brunch is on Saturdays and Sundays and features a D.J. playing “background music.” Brunch items include crab benedict, steak and eggs, cream chipped beef, breakfast tacos, pancakes, and more.

Dahlgren’s stepfather is Heavy Seas Beer owner Hugh Sisson, so there will once again be a strong Heavy Seas presence on the beer taps. Rowhouse also offers cocktails with fresh ingredients, as well as wine.

Rowhouse is now open Tuesday to Sunday. It offers dinner during the week, and brunch and dinner on Saturdays and Sundays. Dahlgren said they are working towards being open seven days a week, and later adding weekday lunch.

The second floor of Rowhouse, which has a bar and additional dining room, can also be used for private parties or by sports fan clubs.

Dahlgren, who has lived in South Baltimore for many years, said “we want to be a destination restaurant, but serve the neighborhood first.”

Report on “Late-Evening Chaos” in Federal Hill, Additional Deployments Requested

Email from Councilman Eric T. Costello to the Mayor’s Office and Baltimore Police Department:

Gentleman, the chaos in Federal Hill during the weekend late-evenings has hit new levels of lawlessness, similar to what Fells Point has experienced over the past two years. We are on the verge of losing this neighborhood and I am intent on ensuring that does not happen.

This past week, I requested the Board of Liquor License Commissioners (BLLC) coordinate with the MD Alcohol Tobacco Commission and conduct an assessment of this situation. The results of that investigation are attached and are consistent with the above (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hruFzm_0DdrnZqv0KiQvluci7JSJm6JZ/view?fbclid=IwAR2ITRs2jsvnt_9_B9dtQf-3tzrYPf9IETrTDwdYuEk648XrLe4_8Wz5MQ4). IN addition, attached is a letter signed by three community associations and two business associations outlining repeated incidents this summer and requests for additional law enforcement, which have gone unanswered to date (https://drive.google.com/file/d/12aSkG2U-6cN-RoMJRHtyPqRhQ8rM7aZR/view?fbclid=IwAR0prHd5zm6LVRzIieV9fm-gy-YaQjD3quIjyjdTHuQnTsUV7pZzyJiZPlw). As you are aware, local media covered the latest incident which can only be described as too all-out brawls occurring simultaneously: https://twitter.com/AntMob7/status/1558334332778995712?s=20&t=tpt-rg75dWVntdxpYe_Uuw&fbclid=IwAR1lGkFybi1tag3shY-H3JFk5YS8s4n45SIJpaZnbddqE1v-3LVYeiELCcM

I am requesting a deployment plan for this weekend to be provided by COB, Thursday Aug 18. In addition as part of that plan, I am requesting the following resources be deployed to gain control of this intolerable situation through high-visibility and proactive enforcement:

1. Mobile Metro Unit
2. Mounted Unite (Horses and Officers)
3. SWAT
4. Additional Patrol Overtime

Finally, I reiterate my previous request that sworn parking enforcement and law enforcement prevent parking violations, double parking, and obstruction of the free flow of traffic. Unattended vehicles in the roadway should be cited and a tow requested. Individuals returning to their vehicle prior to the two truck arriving should be subjected to a traffic stop and be issued citations for obstructing the free flow of traffic and other applicable violations. Should have questions, Please don’t hesitate to reach out to out. Thanks, EC

State of Maryland Board of Liquor License Commissioners for Baltimore City report:

BLLC Investigative Report

To: Chief John Chrissomallis
From: Inspector Kenyatta Washington
Subject: Fed Hill Observations
Date: 8/12/22
On 8/12/22 myself and Inspector Tudhope were in the Fed Hill area from approximately 9:30pm- 1:00am making visual observations of the establishments, patrons, and activities

From the 1200 blk of S Charles to the 900 blk of south Charles is heavy foot traffic outside of the bars mostly were juveniles due to the tight security. It’s an overwhelming amount of people walking with open bottles of liquor and six packs of beer freely drinking on the sidewalks and in the street. The north side of market appears to be the busy side. The outside tables are being taken over by non-patrons sitting at them selling and using narcotics this was observed by the BLLC. After speaking with several staff members of the various establishments they stated they are hesitant to try and remove the said people in fear of retaliation. Light St is another area where the outside tables are being taken over by non patrons. The next concern is the cruising of the motorcycles and Sling Shot vehicles. With no traffic enforcement these vehicles stop on S Charles and on Light St and hold casual conversations with people on the sidewalk while doing this they are impeding the free flow of traffic. Based on our observations if there is no plan of action in this area things are going to go from bad to worse.

On August 13, 2022 I assigned Inspector Robinson and Inspector Tudhope to the Federal Hill area to conduct surveillance of establishments, patrons and overall activities. Below are the findings from that day.

10pm. Heavy Dirt bike activity/racing on light street up to key highway. Light foot traffic between 900 through 1200 block of Charles St. A lot of open containers. Cars double parking

11 pm steady foot traffic. Younger crowd. Mild dirt bike activity. Small crowd in front of Starbucks. Heavy open container. Long line in front of Wayward. Small line I front of banditos. Long line to get into watershed from cross St. heavy foot traffic on cross St. cars double parking

12am Heavy foot traffic. Food truck blocking intersection of Charles and cross. Heavy open container. Young crowd. Long lines in front of Wayward. Long line to get into watershed from Cross St. Small line in front of banditos

1am Foot traffic still heavy. Open container still persisting. Long line in front of Wayward. Continuous double parking. BPD Radioed about an assault that took place at 10 E Cross St.

145-245am Large crowds lingering in front of Wayward Banditos and the Charles. Pedestrians blocking traffic. Pedestrians using the outdoor tables to linger around. Smaller crowns lingering on the 900 block of S Charles and the 900 block of light. Very heavy open container activity. Hookah lounges still have lines2 patrol cars drove through area that were witnessed.

SUMMARY
Gentlemen, this was the report from this weekend. Along with the video from the multiple fights on Friday night. From my experience these are the early stages that we faced in Fells Point. Typically, after an incident airs on social media as the one from Friday the enforcement and presence of authority the following couple weekends are critical. With the assaults, juveniles and open containers, enforcement by State and Local agencies needs to occur immediately to establish control of the area. This increase in enforcement is the only way to decrease the likelihood of escalated incidents of violence. If I can be of any assistance feel free to reach out.

Federal Hill Main Street Letter to Councilman Eric Costello:

August 16, 2022

Dear Councilman Costello,

As you are aware, in recent weeks lawlessness and disorder has reached alarming levels in the Federal Hill business district in the late-night hours from 9 PM – 2 AM, on Thursdays through Sundays. We appreciate the actions you have taken to date to bring these issues to the attention of, and work with BPD, DOT Parking Enforcement, the Liquor Board, and the Alcohol and Tobacco Commission. Unfortunately, more work by these agencies and others is immediately required to get the current situation under control before things devolve to the condition that Fells Point experienced the previous two summers.

Community members have witnessed multiple violations of laws and ordinances during this period including illegal stopping, illegal parking, open containers, vehicle noise violations, illegal alcohol sales and the use of BBQ grills on public sidewalks. We have witnessed these events happening when there is a complete absence of greatly needed police presence, but more disturbingly they have also been witnessed in clear view of police presence. These acts have been centered in two main hotspots in the business district: 1) the intersection of S Charles St and both Unit blocks of E Cross St, and the 1000-1100 blocks of S Charles St on both sides of Cross Street Market; and 2) the 900-1100 blocks of Light St. concentrated in front of Zeeba Lounge, Rosa’s, and Arabian Nights. In addition, there are consistent and gross violations of parking in handicapped reserved spaces, blocking ADA pedestrian ramps, blocking fire hydrants, and parking in no stopping zones in the aforementioned areas as well as on the Unit block of E Hamburg St at the corner of Light St.

Although each of these illegal acts are concerning in their own right, when they occur at the same time in a small geographic footprint it creates an atmosphere of lawlessness. This has unfortunately led to more concerning illegal acts such as illegal dice games and the illegal discharge of firearms as occurred at the intersection of Light St and Warren Ave in the spring
2022. Examples below:
● 8/13 – Fighting in the street on Charles St. in front of Mothers
● 7/25 – Illegal stopping on Charles St. and general disorder
● 4/16 – Shooting at the intersection of Light St. and Warren Ave.

As such, we are requesting the following actions be taken immediately:
1. Ensure enforcement of illegal consumption of alcohol within Zeeba Lounge and Arabian Nights, as they do not have liquor licenses or BYOB privileges.
2. Provide clarification on legal hours of operation for Zeeba Lounge and Arabian Nights and legally limit these hours if possible.
3. Strictly enforce parking regulations and traffic laws on the aforementioned streets. Specifically, we believe that two police officers engaged in high viability traffic enforcement geared towards deterring motorists from “double parking” in the roadway is an ideal solution. We recommend that Southern District redefine the deployment strategy to include special attention to the following traffic violations from the Maryland Traffic Citation Handbook (https://mdcourts.gov/sites/default/files/court-forms/dccr090public.pdf):

a. Causing standing vehicle to obstruct free vehicle passage of roadway (21 1001 b- $60 citation)
b. Leaving unattended vehicle without stopping engine, locking ignition, removing key and setting a brake (21 1101 a – $70 citation).

We look forward forward to hearing back from your office and look forward to working with you, our State Delegation, and our municipal and state agencies to bring relief to our community.

Sincerely,

Garrett Schiche – Board President – Federal Hill Main Street
Hank Shofer – Board President – Federal Hill Business Association
Beth Whitmer – Board President – Federal Hill Neighborhood Association
Sam Cogen – Board President – South Baltimore Neighborhood Association
Meg Murray – Board President – Federal Hill South Neighborhood Association
Brad O’Brien – President – Southern District Police Community Relations Council

‘HK A Seafood Joint’ Coming to Cross Street Market in Federal Hill

Culinary industry veterans Henry Dudley and Kimber Van Kline are opening stall ‘HK A Seafood Joint’ at Cross Street Market in Federal Hill. HK fills a stall vacated by Royal Farms Chicken and Southrn’ Spice in the past couple of years.

Dudley and Van Kline, who are both chefs, currently run a company offering catering and personal chef services. They also had HK Fish House at miXt Food Hall in Brentwood, MD before deciding to relocate their stall to Baltimore.

Dudley and Van Kline told SouthBMore.com they did successful pop-ups at R. House in Baltimore and one of their customers recommended they take a look at Cross Street Market. They said they “felt a lot of love” from the Baltimore customer base and Cross Street Market “felt like home” when they looked.

“The [Cross Street Market] owners really wanted us here,” said Dudley. “It was a beautiful match.”

Dudley is from Bronx, NY and spent his summers growing up with his grandparents in New Orleans and Mississippi where he worked at their restaurant. He has been in the food industry since 1994 working for hotels, casinos, cruise lines, and private restaurants. A job at MGM National Harbor brought Dudley and Van Kline to Maryland. Dudley recently retired from corporate jobs to work full-time for for HK.

Van Kline is from Harlem, NY and decided to go to culinary school in 2007 after working for 17 years at Verizon. She has a catering background and has been a private chef for celebrities.

The menu at HK is inspired by Friday night fish fries in New York City. It will also have Creole influences from New Orleans and Mississippi with nods to Baltimore seafood.

The signature City Island fried fish sandwich, which is named after a neighborhood in the Bronx, is fried Atlantic whiting on buttered brioche bread. It is dressed with the HK Boss Sauce, cherry peppers, beefsteak tomato, shredded lettuce, and house pickles, and served with fries and cole slaw.

Dudley said the sandwich is similar to one he would order growing up, but with a chef’s touch.It was named one of the eight best new sandwiches in the D.C. area by Washington City Paper.

HK will also have The Hangover, which is the fried fish sandwich with scrambled eggs; catfish and fried shrimp po’ boys on French bread; and a shrimp roll sandwich with Creole dressing on a New England split-top roll.

The menu will additionally offer salads with grilled shrimp and salmon, Creole-fried chicken wings, shrimp and grits, and shrimp, catfish, and fried whiting platters.

The sides include a five-cheese macaroni, greens with smoked turkey, Cajun hushpuppies, and crab chips.

HK will be open seven days a week for lunch and dinner, but the owners are also looking to open their carryout window out to E. Cross St. late night on Fridays and Saturdays.

Dudley and Van Kline said the stall will be redesigned with new colors and cosmetics to give it the vibe of the old school hip-hop they grew up listening to in New York. There will be a hip-hop mural on the inside and signage and a new mural on the exterior wall by the carryout window.

Dudley and Van Kline hope to open HK in October. They are hosting another pop-up at R. House that month as well. They noted they are interested in opening a permanent stall at R. House in the future.

“We are excited to come to Baltimore and show everyone the same love they’ve showed us,” said Dudley. “We signed a five-year lease, we are not going anywhere.”

South Baltimore Crime Updates

From Baltimore Police Department:

The recent, dangerous Orbeez Challenge

Using a gel blaster, also known as an Orbeez Gun, the latest fad among teenagers urges them to “drive-by shoot” innocent bystanders. Even while Orbeez Guns are harmless in and of themselves, they can still cause harm if striking a person at high speed or land directly in a vulnerable spot like the eyes. The fact that certain gel blaster pistols look like real firearms adds to the anxiety and distress that this “trend” can provoke. If your child possesses a gel blaster gun, we strongly advise you to talk with them about the risks involved with this new fad.

Orbeez guns were used in assaults that occurred in Riverside and Locust Point on July 13th.

Fox45 did a report last night on late-night violence in Federal Hill in the middle of the street.

Great Plates of Late Around South Baltimore

Korean Chicken Wings at 1157 Bar + Kitchen 

I recently went to dinner at 1157 Bar + Kitchen in Locust Point for the first time (shame on me!) It is a small restaurant but it’s impressively designed to fit a kitchen, bar, and quite a few tables in there (mostly two-tops).  The “New American” menu is a really cool combination of flavors from many different cultures, and our order certainly took us on a mini trip around the globe. We got four plates – the Curried Brussels Sprouts, Roasted Pork and Poblano Pepper Empanadas, Crispy Spanish Octopus, and the Korean Fried Chicken Wings.

Everything was delicious, but the Korean Fried Chicken Wings really stood out to me. They were really crispy on the outside with a sauce that was such a great combination of sticky, sweet, and spicy. And, they were really juicy on the inside. They come with pickled veggies which provide a sweet and sour complement to this great plate.

These plates went well with the nice offering of craft beers and cocktails behind the bar.

Jersey Bar Slice at Pizza Di Joey 

Pizza Di Joey owner Joey Vanoni is showing off his New Jersey roots with one of his newest items – the Jersey Bar Slice. I’ve heard a lot about New Jersey bar pizza and have been hoping to try the real thing soon.

This is a thinner off-shoot of Vanoni’s extra large New York slices. The Jersey Bar Slice was thin, really crispy, and light with a smaller crust line. It was topped just right with a combination of sauce and cheese. I’m a fan!

City Limits 

City Limits has a really nice lineup of salads and the Southwest Chicken Salad is one of my new favorites. It has Southwest-seasoned grilled chicken served atop romaine lettuce with black beans, corn, pico de gallo, and cheddar cheese. It is tossed in a chipotle ranch dressing.

The chicken is really good and the salad is fun combination of ingredients that go just right with the chipotle ranch.

Bonus: When you order a pint to go with your meal, you’ll inevitably see one of your neighbors at the bar.

Krishna Aunty 

Fast-casual South Indian concept Krishna Aunty recently opened at Cross Street Market and it provides a unique dining experience for South Baltimore. Customers pick a South Indian-inspired meat or bean dish that goes in a wrap or on top of rice, spinach, or a combination of both.

On two recent trips I tried different spinach bowls: The Andraha Chicken, which is cooked in cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, turmeric, and chili; and Keema which is ground lamb with peas infused with cloves, cinnamon, coriander, cumin, garlic, and ginger.

Both were really tasty and packed with a zesty combination of flavors, while not being too heavy at the same time. Krishna Aunty will definitely be a regular in my lunch rotation.
