Regular commentator Sarah joins the "trolling" series with a list of guilty pleasures. She is a recent transplant to Columbia and Howard County, but native to Maryland. Her fiance works in Greenbelt. She works in Baltimore. Her guilty pleasures are written short and sweet -- although they tend towards fried and cheesy in real life:
The lobster grilled cheese at Victoria Gastropub in Columbia. Get it with the duck-fat fries. Your arteries will curse you, but, man, this is a lovely sandwich. Fries are vegetables, right?
A four-piece chicken dinner with mac & cheese and candied yams at Chick N' Friends in Columbia. You don't need all that food. But it is SO good. Go ahead and finish off with the sweet potato pie. You had a rough day.
The crab cake sushi roll at Niko Japanese Restaurant in Ellicott City. You heard that right. Yes, it's deep fried. No, it's no authentic. Make sure you go during the lunch buffet.

4 piece chx dinner, macncheese, and candied yams?? you're right! I totally deserve it. tonight!
ReplyDeleteYou can't go wrong with any sandwich at Victoria, as far as I'm concerned.
ReplyDeleteI second Adam's comment...
ReplyDeleteI think Victoria's is highly overrated. Service is slow, kitchen is slower. I have eaten there three times now, and their food is average at best. The cuban is over cooked and dry. The poutine is stoggy. The burger is meh, and the cobb salad is, well an average cobb salad.
ReplyDeleteJust not impressed. After three tries, I will probably not go back.
