Urth and Entourage

UrthFruitPlate.jpg

 

My family spent Thanksgiving weekend watching seasons 1 and 2 of Entourage (when football wasn't on). This is the HBO show set in LA.

The reason I'm mentioning it on my restaurant blog is...

...that so many scenes are set in restaurants, and they aren't stage sets. When I wasn't falling off my seat laughing, I was noticing where the boys eat.

They are real restaurants, and even when the names aren"t mentioned, they are recognizable. The four of them often eat at a favorite of mine, Urth Caffe. And that gives me the opportunity to post this photo of the Urth half fruit plate that I shot last visit.

Unfortunately the grapes were so good I had eaten all but one before I thought to take the photo. The fruit is always cut to order, and in three years of eating at Urth every time I go out there, I've never had the same selection twice. I would love to find a fruit plate in the Baltimore area that was even half as good. Nominations?

Try the gazpacho and half sandwich at Urth. A great meal as you sit and enjoy the weather (and possibly a few celebrity sightings as well).

Ah, a fellow Urth lover

Suzy's Soba in Hampden has a great cold chicken breast and fresh fruit plate that has gorgeous fruit and a green-goddessy dressing. I am not sure if it's on the dinner menu, but I always ask and get it.

Yum!
