Woodberry Kitchen

As the total view count quietly went over 40,000, I realized I still got a lot to write on the Japan trip recap... will I ever catch up before my next trip? I don't think so... Yet, I want to share with you one of my all-time favorite restaurant - Woodberry Kitchen.

I went there for my birthday a few years ago when I was on a business trip in Baltimore with my co-workers. (I celebrated with my friends in Hong Kong this year... I might do a blog post about the trip later, if I ever get to it...) It still amazes me how I spend my birthday every year and I thank my friends for making it special every time.

The restaurant features seasonal foods from local growers, and dishes of the Chesapeake region. This is a true fresh farm to table restaurant! All dishes comes in relatively small plates which leaves you wanting for more!

This is right across from the restaurant.
I think it's a loft apartment? It would be lovely if I could live there.
The place used to be an old steel foundry, next to a glass blowing studio. This adds an immediate chic and urban vibe to the place. The high ceiling provides lots of light and an open atmosphere.

traditional brick oven!!You know you can trust the pizza coming out from this oven.

The cocktails here are very good and the choices are plentiful. Below are two of the cocktails I tried.

Gov't Mule
VT organic vodka, ginger-lime syrup, housemade ginger beer, lime zest, copper mug
the server said "this is a guy's drink" and i said "ok, bring me one of that!"
I am so glad he said that since I have yet to have a cocktail that beats this one!
