A James Beard nomination I forgot to mention
In my post and news brief about the recent announcement of the semi-finalists for this year's James Beard Foundation Awards, I said that Cindy Wolf, to my knowledge, was the only Baltimore-based chef to make it to the finalist (aka nominee) level.
True for the chef awards but there are other James Beard awards. Nancy Longo was a nominee for the James Beard Humanitarian Award in 1995, losing eventually to Paul Newman. As Longo says (on a facebook post I happened to see), "If you're going to lose, lose big"
That's Pierpoint's Longo with her beloved Cuisinart, from this recent story about chefs' favorite things

I've never been to Pierpoint. Everytime I drive by it seems empty or closed. Has anyone had any experiences there?

I've eaten there several times. Nice neighborhood restaurant. Nice food, nice service, reasonable prices, reasonable wine list.
