Personal Narrative: Woodberry Kitchen
Brunch this week was at Woodberry Kitchen. Hard to believe this place has been around over ten years! Chef Spike Gjerde and chef Lou Sumpter are always serving up some some local, seasonal concoctions that folks (including myself) can’t get enough of. In 2015 Gjerde took home a James Beard Foundation award. Sumpter a Maryland native was also recently honored by Eater for up and comers in the food industry under 30.
I’m typically very pleased when I come here although I prefer to go for dinner.
The potted vegetables were awesome, I loved the wood roasted eggplant dip and will be recreating soon. I’m cutting back on dairy, but had to give the crab pot a try and it was worth it l! There was a perfect balance of lump crab meat and cream cheese, delicious! …show more content…
Then there was the Scrapple!
There was a big debate on scrapple at the table! Where is it most popular (Philadelphia vs Baltimore), should it be thick or thin cut, or should it be avoided altogether. Personally, I love scrapple and thought it was a stable in most Baltimore households. I like my scrapple a little bit thicker than what i was served. It was still somewhat addictive all the flavors were all there, and reminiscent of my childhood when my mother would fix me a scrapple and egg sandwich before school.
How do you like your scrapple?
