Stanford Grill: Good Food Done Right

April 15, 2014 12:18 pm

Sometimes you just want to eat classic American cuisine ably executed. If that’s the case, stop in at the Stanford Grill for hearty, satisfying food made with great ingredients and served in sizable portions. This local institution has earned raves from locals for its exceptional service as well, which is professional and courteous. But it’s really the food you’re visiting for, and some of the top dishes include the spectacular steaks – the prime rib is exceptional, as is the filet mignon. Other good selections are the rotisserie chicken, which is cooked slowly so it remains moist and delectable. The sides are also quite good, with the buttery mashed potatoes earning special raves and the macaroni and cheese being big enough to be a full meal. For dessert, don’t miss the bread pudding, which regulars rave about. Stanford Grill also hosts regular jazz brunches with live music that draw big crowds.

Trattoria E Pizzeria: From The Crust Up

April 8, 2014 1:06 pm

This casual Italian restaurant is regarded by locals as one of the best pizzerias in Howard County, for a number of reasons. The first and most important thing is their pizza crust, which is hand-tossed and fired to get to the perfect balance of chewy and crispy. The sauce is made with fresh tomatoes and has a great balance of sweetness and acidity without overwhelming the crust, and the range of toppings is very diverse. Regulars recommend that you keep your pizzas simple, however, with Italian sausage and broccoli both being favorites. The best thing about these pies, however, is how refreshingly light they are. At Trattoria E Pizzeria, the high-quality ingredients make for great pies. If you don’t feel like a slice, Trattoria E Pizzeria offers a variety of other dishes, from baked pastas to satisfying calzones.
