Where is Jon Parker when we need him?
In case you missed it, Steve posted the following under No. 8: Grass-Fed Items. He happens to work with me, so I asked him why he didn't post it under Top Ten Wine Bars, where a discussion about Junior's, the wine bar that will be replacing Vespa in Federal Hill, was going on. He explained that he got tired of scrolling down to find the right post. (My blog has a search function, Steve.) Anyway, here it is: ...
Somewhat off-topic, but to follow up on the Junior's Wine Bar discussion: I was there this week for an art opening and the owners told me they'd have a soft opening this weekend and be fully operational by the middle of next week.
It will be a full restaurant menu, they said -- California wine country cuisine. It's in the old Vespa space in Federal Hill, but greatly expanded, with a chic decor.
I know that commenter Jon Parker says after all the false alarms he'll believe Junior's is actually open when he sees it, and he seems to live nearby, so I'm hoping he'll alert thirsty readers on opening day.

I will definitely do so. I do walk by there a few times a week heading for the Dog bar for pizza or Elvis for yummy tacos. I peeked inside through the door and it looks like they've done quite a bit of remodeling -- possibly expanding the dining area past what used to be the back wall at Vespa. I will stop in and check the place out when I see that they're actually open -- I'm always up for pizza. It looks good in there from what I could see.
It's been a long hard row getting this place open. Here's hoping its worth it.
