Clipper City aka Heavy Seas

Thanks to Heather for organizing this very fun outing!!! Donya, Heather, Sara, Linwood, Renee, Guatam, Liz & Joey were all present to witness Donya's fun. She showed up in such a good mood and it went from there. All eight of us met up for the tour with Chris Farley. No, not that Chris Farley, but it is his real name. Almost as big, almost as funny, but not quite either. The tour itself started strong (until the beer ran out). This was really Donya's day so let's list her top hits:

Asking Chris for his beer when hers ran out
Baltimore Beer Week is in October - we need to go so Donya can pick up her glass!
Stories of $65 lunches and no food
Seeing wert. Not a great sight but fun to watch everyone pronounce

And, finally, we learned on the tour that sugar in beer means more alcohol so we were right to add sugar to Ryan's beer in Max's. Ryan - you are welcome! We decided that Donya,Ryan and Jeff could be the new reality show - The New Three's Company.

The foodie challenge is on!

Only 49 days late. Let's blame the snow. After all, it will be to blame for everything else in Baltimore for years to come. Good thing we have already started. We may be a bit behind but not 100 behind yet. The catching up is the fun part. Starting with this Friday.

OK - for those of you coming to this game late, let's catch you up.

Previously, on "The Foodie Challenge Blog":

In December, the Baltimore Sun published a list of the 100 things every foodie in Baltimore must do. So, our group of foodies (and wannabees) decided to take the challenge. What we expected to be 3-4 people in on the challenge, turned out to be a lot more, and even more in for appetizers (and maybe a dessert now and again).

Those taking the challenge are (in order of commitment):

Sara
Heather
Donya
Kent
Cathy
Liz
Doug
Linwood
Christina
Tim

The not-so-serious
Mo
Nando
Jeff
Kate (veggie limitations)

Late for the reservation:
Gautam
Tom
Ryan
Julie
Tresa

After a few fits and starts, the kick-off was set for Thursday January 14. Wanted it to be on New Years weekend but that's too complicated.

Bon Appetit!
