Guinness Brewery in Baltimore

I'm betting not a lot of people know that there is a Guinness brewery in Baltimore. And it kinda stands to reason cause they don't actually brew "real" Guinness there. They brew Baltimore Blonde and a rotating lineup of experimental beers. However, they do serve actual Guinness there (it's just in kegs from somewhere else). So...pretty confusing. 

 

But they have fries. Barrel Cut Fries to be exact (even tho this menu didn't specify).

$9 for a basket. Pretty good.

Shaped weird. But lightly battered and delicious.

Nice.

Hard to beat this combo. DO IT. 

The Venetian Inn

Went to the Venetian Inn in Tontitown recently with a bunch of work peeps. The last time I've been there is probably at least 25 years ago. 

The decor has not changed, but why should it?

It was empty on accounta the Tontitown Grape Festival was going on. Score for us.

Holy crap? Italian Fries? YES. Ever notice that everything at an Italian restaurant automatically becomes Italian by default. Fries become "Italian Fries", chicken wings become "Italian Chicken Wings", etc.

 

Whoa.

 

Steak fries with mozzarella, Parmesan, Alfredo sauce and some orange sprinkles and green stuff.

 

They are really good. DO IT.

P.S. The wings are really good.

P.P.S. The spaghetti with sausage is really good too.
