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.

Inner Harbor

USS Minneapolis Saint-Paul (LCS 21): The US Navy commissioned its newest littoral combat ship USS MINNEAPOLIS-SAINT PAUL on May 21, 2022. She is a fast, agile, mission-focused platform designed for operation in near-shore environments, yet capable of open-ocean operation. She is designed to defeat asymmetric “anti-access” threats and is capable of supporting forward presence, maritime security, sea control, and deterrence. Her ship’s motto is “I will either find a way or make one.” (Free Tour)

Tall Ship Danmark (Denmark): Built in 1933, DANMARK is a steel-hulled, three-masted fully-rigged ship. She serves as a training vessel for young people seeking careers at sea. She is operated by the Maritime Training and Education Centre, MARTEC, in Frederikshavn, Denmark. Besides training in maritime English, engineering, safety, seamanship, firefighting, and maritime techniques, life on board influences the trainees’ ways of thinking and their social skills. (Free Tour)

USS Constellation** (Historic Ships in Baltimore): The USS CONSTELLATION, a National Historic Landmark, is a sloop-of-war, the last sail-only warship designed and built by the United States Navy. She was built in 1854, using a small amount of material salvaged from the frigate USS Constellation, which had been disassembled the year before. (Admission Fee)

HMCS Moncton (M708, Canada) – A Kingston-class coastal defense vessel that has served in the Canadian Forces since 1998. MONCTON is the ninth ship of her class.

US Light Ship Chesapeake/USS Torsk** (Historic Ships in Baltimore):  Commissioned for the United States Navy on December 16, 1944, the USS TORSK was the only submarine out of its Tench Class fleet of ten to see service during World War II. Over eighty sailors lived aboard Torsk. After numerous war patrols and duties as a training boat after the war, the TORSK arrived in Baltimore to serve as a museum and memorial in 1972. (Admission Fee)

USCGC 37**(Historic Ships in Baltimore): The U.S Coast Guard Cutter (USCGC) 37, a National Historic Landmark, is one of the famed Secretary of the Treasury Class Coast Guard cutters built in the mid-1930’s. Commissioned in 1936 as USCGC TANEY, Cutter 37 was designed for law enforcement missions, search and rescue, and maritime patrol. She is notable as the last warship afloat that fought in the attack on Pearl Harbor. (Admission Fee)

USNS Newport (T-EPF 12): Operated by the United States Navy‘s Military Sealift Command, NEWPORT is a Spearhead-class high-speed catamaran. She is designed to operate in shallow waterways as a versatile, non-combatant, high-speed transport for troops, military vehicles, and equipment. Her missions includes overseas contingency operations, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, support of special operations forces, theater security cooperation activities and emerging joint sea-basing concepts. (Free Tour)

USCGC James Rankin (WLM 555): Named after lighthouse keepers, the US Coast Guard commissioned a new “Keeper” class of coastal buoy tenders in the 1990s. With a home port at the nearby Coast Guard Yard in Curtis Bay, her mission includes aids to navigation (ATON) support for the Chesapeake Region. Each spring she deploys the star-spangled Francis Scott Key buoy, marking the general area where British forces commenced bombardment of Fort McHenry during the War of 1812. (Free Tour)

USNA Yard Patrol Craft (YP): The mission of the Midshipmen-run Yard Patrol Squadron (YPRON) is to provide the Brigade opportunities to enhance their leadership, seamanship and navigation skills in a safe and controlled learning environment that mimics that of the Fleet. Midshipman crews practice onboard Yard Patrol Craft (YPs) and execute out-of-area movement orders to ports on the Eastern Seaboard. (Free Tour)

Fells Point

HMCS Glace Bay (M701, Canada): Sister ship to HMCS Moncton, GLACE BAY is a Kingston-class coastal defense vessel that has served in the Canadian Forces and Royal Canadian Navy since 1996. She is the second ship of her class and second vessel to use the name designation. She is assigned to Maritime Forces Atlantic (MARLANT) and is homeported at CFB Halifax, Nova Scotia. She has participated in many military and defense exercises worldwide. (Free Tour)

North Locust Point

HMS Richmond (F 239, Great Britain): RICHMOND is the seventh Royal Navy ship to proudly bear the name. She enjoys strong affiliations in both Richmond upon Thames (Southwest London) and Richmond, North Yorkshire, England. Classified as a Type 23 frigate, she recently spent time in the Arctic working alongside NATO allies during the largest military exercises in the region in over 30 years. Her ship’s motto is A Deo et Rege (From God and the King). (Free Tour)

Port Covington

USS Carter Hall (LSD 50): Classified as a Dock Landing Ship, CARTER HALL’s mission is to transport Marine personnel, landing craft, vehicles, and cargo; land them ashore using landing craft and helicopters in support of military and humanitarian assistance operations; and support and withdraw them as necessary. She acts as an invaluable component to a joint Navy-Marine expeditionary unit (ARG/MEU), one of which is forward deployed at all times to quickly respond to any potential developing crisis. (Free Tour)

USACE Reynolds: The REYNOLDS is a steel debris vessel named after John Reynolds, a former Chief of Operations for the Baltimore District, Corps of Engineers. Built in 1992 in Pensacola FL, she patrols the waters of the Baltimore Harbor and Patapsco River for debris that could be hazardous to navigation. Equipped with a hydraulic front end loader with a mesh basket, her crew can pick debris directly out of the water. In support of the USACE Clean Energy Initiative, she runs on B-99 bio-diesel. (Free Tour)

USACE Catlett: CATLETT is 61-foot survey vessel christened into the fleet in 2017 and named after former hydrographic surveyor Harold Catlett.

Speakeasy-Inspired Cocktail Bar ‘The Wurst Bar’ Opening in Crossbar in Federal Hill

A new speakeasy-style cocktail bar called The Wurst Bar is opening within Crossbar at 18 E. Cross St. in Federal Hill. As first reported by Baltimore Business Journal, The Wurst Bar will open in the second-floor bar on the western section of the building in an original rowhouse structure.

Kevin Curley, who owns two locations of the high-end, fast-casual sandwich and beer shop RegionAle and who is consulting on the new Locust Point restaurant Fat Patties, will run The Wurst Bar. Curley is good friends with Crossbar owner Leo Poldmae and the two discussed that the upstairs bar wasn’t being used very often.

Curley, who is a Riverside resident, saw the need for an upscale cocktail bar in Federal Hill after the closures of Bookmakers and Bar Liquorice. He loves the vibe at Baltimore speakeasy-style bars such as W.C. Harlan and The Elk Room.

Patrons will have to walk through Crossbar to get to The Wurst Bar, but the space will be closed off with an old walk-in refrigerator door. There will not be a password to get in, but Curley said he wanted it to be a little bit hard to find.

The Wurst Bar is a business within Crossbar and will use the same liquor license, but the two will have separate POS systems.

The Wurst Bar will have an “upscale vibe” and the bartenders will be in dress shirts. “A lot of people are looking for a low-key date night place,” said Curley.

The Wurst Bar will have 15 classic “pre-prohibition cocktails” such as a French 75, Gimlet, Sazerac, and Negroni. Curley said all the mixers will be fresh squeezed and made in house. They will also have some “higher-end” tequilas, whiskeys, and rums behind the bar.

The Wurst Bar opens this Friday. It will be open Thursday and Sunday from 4pm to 12am and Friday and Saturday from 4pm to 2am.

Smash Burgers, Beer, and Shake Concept ‘Fat Patties’ Coming to McHenry Row in Locust Point

Smash burger, beer, and milkshake concept ‘Fat Patties’ is opening in the former World of Beer space at McHenry Row in Locust Point. World of Beer occupied the 3,415 sq. ft. corner suite with an outdoor patio before closing in 2020.

Kevin Curley, the owner of RegionAle and The Wurst Bar in Federal Hill, is the chef and consultant for Fat Patties. He said it is owned by a large Maryland-based restaurant company. If the concept is a success, the company will look to open additional locations.

Fat Patties will keep the 50-beer tap draft system from World of Beer and will offer 30 beers on tap with a focus on local craft beers. It will also offer 10 draft cocktails, kombuchas, and craft sodas.

It will have traditional service at the bar, but will be a hybrid between a sit-down restaurant and a fast-casual restaurant in the dining room. Patrons can order carryout at kiosks or get table service using QR code ordering.

The menu will feature a selection of smash burgers and fries cooked in beef tallow, which Curley noted was in the original McDonald’s recipe. There will also be starters, salads, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, milkshakes, boozy milkshakes, and floats with craft sodas.

Fat Patties is keeping the stage from World of Beer and will also has several vintage arcade games along with Skee-Ball and pinball.

The team at Fat Patties is interested in hosting events and block parties like the ones that previously took place at World of Beer.

Curley said the restaurant group was interested in the location because of the visibility from Key Hwy. and I-95 and the high amount of traffic the shopping center generates. Curley said they saw an opportunity for more night time activity to the shopping center when most of the other businesses are closed.

Fat Patties is hoping to open on August 22nd. It will be open Sunday to Thursday from 11am to 11pm and Friday and Saturday from 11am to 12am.

South Baltimore Resident Sam Cogen Slated as Baltimore’s Next Sheriff

Sam Cogen, the current president of South Baltimore Neighborhood Association and former Assistant Sheriff for Baltimore City, will be the next Sheriff of Baltimore City after a narrow victory over 33-year incumbent John W. Anderson in the Democratic Primary. No Republicans or Independents are running for Sheriff.

Cogen received 39,500 votes (51.81%) and Sheriff Anderson received 36,733 votes (48.19%).

Cogen is a board member of Federal Hill Main Street and South Baltimore Gateway Partnership.

You can listen to SouthBMore.com’s podcast with Cogen here.

Cogen posted the following to his Facebook page:

We did it – Thank you, for electing me to be your next Sheriff!

I started my journey as a candidate in the same manner that I began my 25-year law enforcement career: with a strong desire to serve the people of Baltimore City by keeping them safe.

Thank you to everyone that supported and believed in our vision – to modernize and transform the Sheriff’s Office, which will now become an integral part of our City’s public safety solution. We remain committed to transparency and accountability, the foundation upon which public trust is built.

I want to thank Sheriff John Anderson for his decades of service to the City of Baltimore. I am looking forward to working with him during the upcoming transition, and I wish him well in the future.

Our next step is to form a transition team focused on reorganization and modernization, which will enable us to implement best practices from the moment we take office. We plan to meet with key Federal, State, and City leadership and work collaboratively with stakeholders to implement our vision.

I am honored to be your new Sheriff. When we assume office, we will work hard everyday to make our City safer and reduce harm. We will carry out this important mission in a constitutional manner that recognizes the value and importance of each and every person we have been entrusted to serve.

Most sincerely,
Sam Cogen, Baltimore City Sheriff-Elect
