Great Plates of Late Around South Baltimore

Birria Tacos from El Salto 

I’ve been dying to try birria tacos ever since they became a seemingly hot food trend in America. I’ve always loved a good French dip sandwich, so I had a feeling I would be a fan of birria tacos. And, after trying them at El Salto in Brooklyn, I am in love.

The Quesabirria at El Salto are soft tacos with pulled beef, cheese, cilantro, and onions cooked in the consome de birria and topped with tomatillo sauce. The meal also comes with a side of consome de birria for dipping which is a must.

These tacos were so, so good.

Curry Chicken from Taste of Jamaica 

Sweet Home Jamaica in Brooklyn has quickly become one of my favorite places to pick up lunch. It has daily lunch specials, which include a meal and soda, for $8. I previously raved about Taste of Jamaica’s jerk chicken and now I’m about to rave about its curry chicken.

I’ve never had Jamaican-style curry chicken before and clearly I’ve been missing out. This tender chicken had so much zest and flavor, and the sauce seeped down well into the rice and beans in the bowl.

What I order during my next trip to Taste of Jamaica will be a tough decision.

Maccheroni Alla Pescatore at Velleggia’s 

I have been looking forward to trying Velleggia’s at Cross Street Market in Federal Hill for a while and finally made it happen this month. The space has a more upscale feel compared to the rest of the market and has an inviting vibe.

As an entree, we got the Maccheroni Alla Pescatore which has linguini in lemon sauce with lobster, clams, shrimp, parmesan, and micro greens. The pasta was fresh and the sauce has a unique flavor that paired well with the seafood. The lobster really stood out to me.

To go along with our meal, we had some tasty cocktails and the Penzanella salad.

Biscuits and Gravy at Riverside Taphouse 

Riverside Taphouse has been recommended to me many times and recently I took advantage of a free Sunday morning to try out its brunch.

The biscuits with sausage gravy melt in your mouth and are super flavorful. They also came with two eggs.

We also got the Breakfast Wrap that had egg whites, turkey sausage, onion jam, and Swiss cheese in a wheat wrap. It was really good and really filling. The side of breakfast potatoes hit the spot, too.

We are fired up about our 1st official flagship In Maryland and look forward to recreational sales in July.”

Cookies has proprietary products and the Baltimore location will also sell products from other brands. Cannabis will be available as flower, pre-rolls, vape carts, concentrates, and edibles.

South Baltimore Gateway Partnership Announces $742,708 in Community Grants

South Baltimore Gateway Partnership press release: 

The South Baltimore Gateway Partnership (SBGP) announces $742,708 in Community Grants to support 29 projects across South and Southwest Baltimore. This round of funding attracted proposals totaling more than $2.1 million. Community Grants are awarded based on previously determined criteria, including alignment with strategic goals. SBGP Community Grants funding is provided by the Local Impact Grants generated by video lottery terminals, including at the Horseshoe Casino Baltimore. Since its establishment in 2016, SBGP has committed approximately $26.8 million of core intergovernmental Local Impact Grant funds to projects across the SBGP District, ranging from small community grants to large capital projects.

Community Grants funding ranges from small “spark” grants under $2,000, to large grants reaching up to $100,000, which Paul’s Place in Pigtown was awarded this application cycle. Their Executive Director, Tim Regan says, “We are grateful to be awarded this funding to support the installation of a community kitchen garden on Ward Street. With a garden to grow produce, we’ll be able to turn currently unused space into one that will help us further our mission to address food insecurity and grow public health knowledge around nutrition. We’ll also increase support of the Paul’s Place community kitchen on Ward Street, along with our culinary training program housed at Groundwork Kitchen on Washington Boulevard. This is an exciting opportunity to transform our campus on Ward Street in service to the community.”

A rigorous application review process ensures that awards are distributed equitably and are diverse and inclusive in geographic location and project type. Youth in Westport and Cherry Hill will receive support through Improving Education’s grant. “Early childhood education is the foundation of school and life success, and we’re so proud to collaborate with children, families, and the Head Start program at Westport Academy through our All Children Ready initiative. Funding will allow us to improve Kindergarten readiness while changing the trajectory of student success and empowering children and families to succeed in school,” says Jarrod Bolte, CEO.

In Sharp-Leadenhall, youth support will come in the form of technology assistance. Joyce Dingle, Director of Outreach for theSouth Creek Community Development Corporation says, “We live in an increasingly technological and digital society, and we want to ensure that the students who attend the SHARPkids Program have access to the computers, computer networks, and software to participate in it. We know that access to these tools and resources increases students’ ability to work cooperatively with each other, give peer tutoring, improve motivation, and increase self-esteem.  With this grant, we can continue to support children in Sharp-Leadenhall in enhancing achievements even after the school-day has ended.”

In addition to the projects described above, Community Grants funding will support a variety of other programs:

• The “Green Lions Collaborative” project will bring residents together to grow food, cook, and exchange ideas from different cultures. It will also fully transition a school-based garden into a community-engaged garden and will promote collective action to ensure its maintenance and sustainability. (The University of Maryland Foundation, Inc d/b/a the UMBC Foundation, Lakeland)
• The “Steel Boxes and Signs” project will update garden planters and install signage for gardening and compost bins at two garden sites with approximately 18 community members that currently conduct maintenance and improvement.(Pigtown Food For Thought, Pigtown)
• RICH’s “Youth Leadership Program” will provide year-round youth programming and workforce development offerings including entrepreneurship, photography, modeling, STEM education, rowing, and self-development. The new RICH Juice Bar will generate additional revenue for community-based workforce development. (RICH – Restoring Inner City Hope, Cherry Hill)
• The 31st Annual Federal Hill 4th of July Parade aims to bring together Federal Hill and surrounding communities to celebrate the neighborhoods’ charm and history. (Stars & Stripes Parade Committee, Federal Hill)

A full list of Community Grants awards can be found here.

In addition to Community Grants, SBGP offers smaller Clean and Green Grants through the Enhanced Services Program. Funding up to $5,000 can support projects in the SBGP District under the following categories: Waste Reduction through Environmental Sustainability (composting, reusable products, etc.), Trash Removal (community cleanups, bulk trash removal, contracts for services, etc.), Capital Investments (trash receptacles, facilities, etc.), and Education & Training, (PSA campaigns, workshops, etc.). Using this grant, Neighborhood Design Center fully-funded their Trash Dash event in April 2023, with over 50 volunteers removing more than 80 bags of trash from Middle Branch Park in Cherry Hill. This funding is currently available on a rolling basis. Learn more and apply here: https://sbgpartnership.org/clean-and-green-grants/.

A new round of SBGP Community Grants funding will be available this coming summer in 2023. Visit https://sbgpartnership.org/community-grants/ to learn more and apply.
