Itinerary

1. Baltimore's oldest public market has stood in Fells Point since 1786, and tucked inside it is a Polish deli that locals have leaned on since 1985. You'll taste mixed pierogies, the soft dumplings that fed generations of the neighbourhood's dock-working families. What you'll taste: Mixed pierogies (potato, or kraut and mushroom) (30 min)
2. You cannot understand Baltimore without the blue crab. At a harbourside seafood spot you'll taste a proper Maryland crab cake, the local benchmark: sweet lump crab meat, barely any filler, the way the city has made it for generations. What you'll taste: Maryland crab cake (30 min)
3. Old Bay is on everything in this city, and at this stop you'll get to know why. We'll tell you the story of the German immigrant who blended it here in 1939, what goes into it, and how it became the seasoning Baltimore puts on almost everything. What you'll experience: The story of Old Bay seasoning (30 min)
4. Somewhere along the route we'll take you through a door we don't reveal in advance. It's a stop that surprises guests every time, and it captures a side of Baltimore most visitors walk straight past. What you'll taste: Revealed only on the day (30 min)
5. A Century-Old Deli on Corned Beef Row Lombard Street was once so thick with Jewish delis that Baltimore named it Corned Beef Row. The institution we visit has been here since 1915, run by the same family for over a hundred years. You'll taste a homemade potato knish, split to share, the kind of honest cooking that built the street. What you'll taste: Homemade potato knish (split to share) (30 min)
6. Little Italy is a few narrow streets of multi-generational family restaurants, and here you'll taste the classics that have anchored them for decades. Think the deep, comforting flavours of Italian-American home cooking, the food these families have served since their grandparents opened the doors. What you'll taste: A classic Little Italy plate (arancini, meatballs, or pizza) (15 min)
7. We finish on something sweet. This pastry shop has been a Little Italy fixture since 1956, and the cannoli are filled to order so the shell stays crisp. You'll taste a mini cannoli, the proper full stop to a Baltimore afternoon. What you'll taste: Mini cannoli (15 min)
