Next Sunday's review
It's very confusing, I know, because as a Dining@Large reader you know when I'm actually on vacation, and then in the print edition -- usually about two weeks later -- it says there will be no review this week because Elizabeth Large is on vacation. I work farther ahead than I really need to just in case something comes up (like the stomach flu, or it turns out the chef left the day after I ate there so I have to quickly go somewhere else).
But next week I will have a review in the paper because I didn't need to use the one I did before I left for today's paper because today was my year ender. And, no, I'm not going to link to it today because then what would I do for Monday Morning Quarterbacking tomorrow? ...
Anyway, next Sunday I review the Abbey Burger Bistro in Federal Hill. This is a place that Richard Gorelick could have done in the weekend section; but I was interested because it's where Christopher Paternotte, the chef who opened the presently closed Vin in Towson, ended up.
You would think a burger bar -- er, bistro -- would be a one-trick pony, but there's more to the Abbey than that. Sometimes it's an unexpected "more" for a bar, like having a children's menu. Check out my review next week in the Arts & Entertainment section.

Hope you tried the Soy Sesame Wings---I crave them! Have visited five times since its opening and have been pleased (and very full) each time. Love a hard fried egg on the bison burger!

Fried egg on bison burger? Why? I LOVE bison...why would one plop a fried egg on it?

Dottie, for the same reason the Germans plop a fried egg on a perfectly good schnitzel and call it Schnitzel Holstein: Because its there.

I thought I was running out of weird poems about food to tie into D@L, but then I found a new one. The Oeuf of Paris examines the very question of why someone would put an fried egg on a burger or a pizza.
