Girls' night out

JesseSandlin.jpg

Baltimore Foodies, a group readers of this blog may know best because of their audacious foie gras dinner at Salt, is having a dinner at Abacrombie Monday night to honor female restaurateurs and chefs. I'm embarrassed to admit I hadn't kept track of how many important ones we had.

Cindy Wolf, Nancy Longo and Donna Crivello get the press because they've been around a while, but with this multi-course wine dinner you'll get to know host chef Jesse Sandlin (pictured on the left, with Abacrombie general manager Greta Clausen) and guest chefs Jill Snyder of Red Maple and Bettina Clair from Bicycle.
 
On the wine side, Laurie Forster, the Wine Coach and a female wine maker, and Francoise Le Calvez from France will be attending. Wines from the latter's estate, Chateau Coupe Roses will be served. ....


Other female chefs will be available for guests to interact with during the meal.
 
Tentatively scheduled to attend are Nancy Longo (Pierpoint), Ann Nault (Taste), Lisa Heckman (Iggies) and AnneMarie Langton (Helen's Garden). Baltimore Foodies is waiting on confirmations from several others.

I don't know if any seats will still be available for the event when you read this; when I checked just now, four still were.

Hi Elizabeth-

This is completley unrelated...but in "The Sun" today, there is an ad for an auction on Timothy Dean's location with the restaurant name right below....

Any news?

Thanks.

Wow. I hadn't heard a whisper. I'll check it out. Thanks very much for the tip.

Just checked and Timothy Dean is no longer listed on Open Table.

Also unrelated to the post, but somewhat related to the first comment (though this sounds like a fun night out, with only 4 seats left, when you published, I'm sure they're gone by now.) A while back you posted a restaurant up for sale and asked us to identify it. Has that location ever been revealed?

Not to me. I forgot about it. EL

It was Velleggia's (non-disclosure agreement involved)

Some specialists argue that mortgage loans help people to live the way they want, just because they are able to feel free to buy necessary things. Moreover, banks give student loan for young and old people.
