Two seasons where he was out almost half a year, only one playoff win... and he wants the most money of anybody in the NFL.

Seems really immature; also seems like he would benefit from some professional representation.

The love I used to feel is waning, making me more and more ok with him leaving and us finding a real raven to lead the roost.

From the article--

>The Ravens have placed their nonexclusive franchise tag on Lamar Jackson, leaving themselves vulnerable to being outbid for their star quarterback this offseason.
In designating Jackson with the $32.4 million nonexclusive tag on Tuesday, general manager Eric DeCosta signaled his willingness to let Jackson test his value on the open market after over two years of unsuccessful negotiations. The Ravens have the right to match any offer sheet that Jackson signs with another team after the free-agent signing period begins March 15.

>A lot of you have seen me being pretty negative on here,

I mean I can remember you making some snark, but since you've seem to have deleted your entire post history most people won't know if that' true or not. Which I guess is the point of doing that, and that's why a deleted post history is always a red flag to not engage or believe an account.

> RESTAURANTE TÍO PEPE - Never loved the food here but the vibes are immaculate

If the vibe you're talking about is "I may die in a fire in this place", I agree. Maybe it was just because it was one of the first places I went out after Covid lockdowns, but I legit felt unsafe in that space.

No SoBo restaurants like Limoncello. Interesting. it does bug me how many are in Howard County--like every month do they do a hard sell on trying to show how great Baltimore City is but yet feature so many Balt County and Howard county restaurants. Stupid and it downplays some fantastic places in the city. We need people to come HERE. Not go elsewhere. DUH.

My review of these places. Curious where people disagree -

ANANDA - Never been.

ASH BAR - Never been.

ALLORA- Never been.

AZUMI- Best sushi in the city but wildly overpriced. Also fuck Atlas.

THE BYGONE - Get a massage at the four seasons instead they let you chill in the spa area as long as you like

CHARLESTON - Best tasting menu place in town. Wish the bar was bigger.

CINGHIALE - Legit great but not quite transcendent.

CLAVEL - Love this place but actually find their tacos a bit meh.

ALMA COCINA - Legit might be my favorite higher end place right now.

COOKHOUSE - Never been.

COSIMA - Happy Hour is decent. Probably good for groups. Great outdoor space. But the food is extremely mediocre.

DOK KHAO THAI EATERY - Never been.

DUCK DUCK GOOSE - I know a ton of people have had crap experiences here, but if you sit at the bar this is one of the best meals in Baltimore. Incredible steak frites and wine. Get the broccolini it is one of the best apps in the city imo.

DYLAN’S OYSTER CELLAR - Not an oyster guy but solid still.

THE FOOD MARKET - Never liked this place for dinner much due to the cramped noisy vibe but makes for a great brunch or drinks spot.

THE BLACK OLIVE - Somehow have never been.

FORAGED - Need to get back here but my one experience was great.

GERTRUDE’S CHESAPEAKE KITCHEN - Way better than a museum restaurant has any right to be.

GUNTHER & CO. - I always assumed this place was just run of the mill elevated American food but I went for the first time recently and was blown away. Will be back.

THE HELMAND - Has to be the best deal in fine dining in Baltimore.

HERSH’S - My favorite of the elevated pizza places. Too bad the location is so inconvenient from most of the city, but it doesn't seem to be hurting them.

LA CUCHARA - I went to northern Spain in part because of this place so I am a fan. Bar is huge which I love. I wish they had something between their kick ass HH and their pricey dinner.

LA SCALA - Best classic Italian in Little Italy. Too much great Italian in the city though.

LE COMPTOIR DU VIN - Great but maybe a bit overrated or that is what I am telling myself for not trying to get a table. Natural Wine needs to die a fiery death though.

LIORA - Legit great Vegan food.

THE CHOPTANK - Nope.

MAGDALENA - Some of the most interesting food in the city. Atmosphere is really hit or miss though. Great for wine peeps.

MARTA - Was never big on alt so I am looking forward to trying this spot.

THE MILTON INN - Wasnt even great (save the space) before Atlas took over.

MONARQUE - Probably the one Atlas place I would want to go thanks to the performances.

OUZO BAY - For the crowd that wants expensive food in a place that has a DJ booth. The Beach however is legit unique.

BONDHOUSE - I wish this place was good but I gave it two shots and it was not. Bad cocktails to boot.

PEERCE’S - Never been.

PERENNIAL - Never been.

PETIT LOUIS BISTRO - I have always liked this place but I could see people think it is stuffy or mid. It is a french bistro in roland park so I think it is doing what is expected. Wish the frites were better.

PRESERVE - Never been.

LITTLE DONNA'S - Loved Tail Up Goat so I am looking forward to trying this place out.

THE PRIME RIB - Food is solid but the atmosphere is fucking incredible here. Straight 80s "class".

PUERTO 511 - Great stuff. Not as big on Peruvian flavors as other people but I love a BYOB.

RESTAURANTE TÍO PEPE - Never loved the food here but the vibes are immaculate.

ROYAL TAJ - Never been.

TAGLIATA - Fuck no.

TAPAS TEATRO - This place is solid for what it is but does not belong on any best of list.

THACHER & RYE - Never been.

THAMES STREET OYSTER HOUSE - Probably the best seafood in the city (save Faidleys) but I cannot get over how shitty their cocktails are.

TRUE CHESAPEAKE OYSTER CO. - Haven't been yet.

VELLEGGIA’S - Haven't been yet.

XENIA GREEK KOUZINA - Haven't been yet.

THE TITLTED ROW - Haven't been yet.

​

Biggest snub would be Sally Os imo. And I think Cindy Lou's is great as well, though it may be dinged for being in a hotel. Looks like I still have a lot of places to explore!

These lists are always suspect. Take for example, the first on the list, Ananda. I’ve been there a handful of times and it’s always been mediocre and expensive, I only went back because people told me it’s so great but done trying now. Beautiful atmosphere, I give it that. It appeals to people who like the sizzle more than the steak. These guys also were behind the ambassador, which I had similar feelings towards.

Re Ananda from Tom Sietsma’s WP food critic chat a few years ago: “…checking out places for potential review; a lot of places don't pan out, including the mediocre Indian restaurant in Fulton, Md. called Ananda (never mind what GQ says) and the amateurish River Bend Bistro in Alexandria. Visits to both places in recent months were so disappointing (worst naan ever at Ananda), I didn't want to waste the real estate in the Sunday Magazine just to warn people away. “

Man, that's some cringe in translated and re-appropriated Caesar quote at BLK Swan. They must get their inspiration from the Homegoods shopping Rae Dunn purveyors of fine garbage. Just add some "Live, Laugh, Wine."

The Banner article should have included the Atlas properties. They are on point when it comes to Instagramability.
