Liquor Board Suspends Acme’s License For 14 Days
Very late last night, The Capital’s Elisha Sauers sent out a tweet that the Annapolis City Liquor Board had come to a decision on the Acme case. Acme was under the gun for reportedly allowing underaged customers to drink. Most notable, Kelcey Silva and Van Eney who died tragically last year in a motorcycle accident [...]
Plazuelas Is Open In Edgewater
Plazuelas, the latest addition to the Mexican dining scene in the area opened up yesterday and it was worth the wait! I am not sure what the hold up was–the interior did not look like it had that much done to it, so I will assume it was the County firehosing the business with hoops, [...]

Nova: For The Sushi Fanatic
I haven’t always liked Sushi. Just ask my husband about my first experience 12 years ago. Not only did the thought of raw fish make me queasy, but I am a texture person and so Roe (or fish eggs) getting caught in my teeth… no thanks. About four years ago I started to explore cooking. [...]
Blogger Don’ts
With the invention of the Internet, and more specifically the invention of blogging, anyone now can claim to be a world renowned critic. At what point can we disregard blog-obsessed know-it-alls? Granted, you may think I’m calling the kettle black; but I don’t fancy myself the be-all and end-all of restaurant knowledge, and clearly only [...]
Oh Nah Uh
It has come to my attention that it does not matter if you work at Ruth’s Chris or McDonald’s, there are always going to be customers that try to scam the system. Take for example a situation I encountered recently at work: Imagine a bustling Saturday night, people crammed into our small waiting area by [...]

Ooops, Did I Just Talk Back?
Every now and then a customer can irk a server so badly that we have to refrain from making inappropriate comments and risk losing our jobs. There are times, however, that our inner monologue somehow seems to rear its ugly head before we have time to register the course of events that has just transpired. [...]

Kids
Kids. They’re great. I don’t have any myself but after teaching, coaching, and babysitting, I’m ready to give them back after my allotted time. Sure when I have my own it will probably be different, but cleaning up after kids in the restaurant makes me realize that my OCD could never handle it on a [...]
