Seafood- Where to Buy in Frederick County?

I’m hoping some readers can help Fred out.  We usually buy our seafood from the Common Market and we’ve always been happy with what we have got there.  But like a man with the TV remote I’m always wondering if there is something better on some other channel. So where do you get your seafood [...]

Viniferous

I had a chance to stop by the new wine store, Vinferous, which is located on North Market Street across from Volt.  Got to love a wine store (they also sell craft beers) that I can walk to from work.  The store is beautiful but clearly still getting on its feet.  Not a huge selection yet:  they have [...]

Odds and Ends

Just received word that the magazine Edible Chesapeake is ceasing publication.  That’s sad as I always looked for it at the Common Market and enjoyed reading it.  From the release:  I will no longer be publishing Edible Chesapeake magazine. The decision is the result of much reflection on how best to balance the needs of my family [...]

Heard on The Grapevine

Heard on the grapevine that the Frederick Wine House one of my favorite, ok let’s be honest, my favorite wine store in Frederick County will be relocating.  They are going to move to a location in the new  shopping center off Route 26.   This will be the same location as where the Wegmans is going in.  Construction [...]

Jefferson Pastry Shoppe- a Hidden Gem

Family traditions are funny.  Mrs. F brings  her family’s Halloween tradition of eating donuts and cider after pumpkin carving.  The kids love it, but I have to admit  the combination of cider and donuts always struck me as a little wierd.  However if she can accept Guy Fawkes Day I can certainly abide by this.  Besides what’s not [...]

Brunswick Farmer’s Market and Reflections on Vendors

Stopped by the Brunswick farmer’s market briefly on Sunday.  Seemed like a light crowd.  Had a different meat purveyor from Boonsboro, but their bacon etc. all had nitrates in it.  Also their beef was grain finished.  I was really in the mood to cook something up, but there was not a whole lot of produce.  [...]

Fred Foodie Ignored!!

There was an article (here) in yesterday’s Frederick News Post about Frederick area food bloggers.  It failed to mention this site, yes loyal readers not a peep about Fred Foodie.  Oh the horror!  The humanity! The snub!  I pity the next restaurant I review.  It will be ugly.  The food will taste like crap! Of course since sarcasm doesn’t [...]

Caballo Viejo

After hearing some good things about Caballo Viejo I finally got a chance to try this restaurant.  First of all you have to understand that cuisine is primarily Venezuelan.  Not that this is in any way bad, just that if you go in there looking for a typical tex-mex experience you will not get what [...]

Nilgiris Indian Sizzler

There are three Indian lunch buffets in Frederick that I am aware of:  Clay Oven, Bombay Grill and Nilgiris.  I now have a new Indian Lunch buffet favorite.  Its the curiously named Nilgiris Indian Sizzler.  ( Nilgiris I understand- its a mountain range in southern India, but Indian Sizzler?  Is it supposed to be the [...]
