Restaurants in this area have had success serving upscale Southern cuisine (most notably Louisiana and Savannah/Charleston), but I can't think of one that has introduced upscale Southern Sunday supper cuisine to Baltimore. Until now.

The menu at Night of the Cookers on Antique Row is an unusual combination of barbecue (and other down home cooking) and high-class dishes like duck breast with risotto and blood orange vinaigrette. It will be interesting to see how this plays in Baltimore.

You know I don't like to say much about a restaurant before the actual review runs, but I will tell you this: I wouldn't mind some more of that etouffee.

Look for the review in next Sunday's Arts & Life Today section.
