My one gripe with Red Brick Station is how they serve their sweet potato fries. They are served with cinnamon and a bit of sugar, which I find disconcerting next to a burger. I love sweet potato fries, but prefer them done as a savory item. That said, when I mentioned it to the waitress, she replaced them quickly with regular fries.

I also had a lot of help from the chef when I had an allergic reaction to the crab dip. He went through all the ingredients with me over the phone. It wasn't his fault at all... that was when I discovered my allergy to Old Bay, which I'd had 2 days in a row. The crab dip pushed me over the edge. It was a delicious edge though. I really appreciated the chef taking my phone call and treating it seriously.

Red Brick continues to be a bright spot in the suburban dullness that surrounds it. They took a sizable risk in opening it there (with the on-site brewery) but I hope they continue to do well. The food and beer is respectable and the service has always been professional and timely.

@Summer:
That's a great ruse to get recipes...thanks for the tip!

Me: I think I'm allergic to your stuffed calamari...exactly how many oz. of kefalo is in that? lemon juice? oregano? And at what temperature did you prepare that? and for how long?

Black Olive:

LOL @ charlie brown!!

LOL, Charlie brown! Good luck! be sure to mention that you need to know exact proportions because your allergies are VERY sensitive.

On the Camden Yards note, the O's need to get their act together. I thought it was a nice night yesterday and decided to head to the ballpark. I waited in the line at the box office and Gate C for close to 45 minutes and had a friend scope out the lines at other ticket booths which were just as bad. I missed a third of the game waiting to get a seat which was not fun.
Then I made the mistake of wasting my money on ballpark food. The new system is a disaster - you order at the counter and then have to wait for some employee who is quite fond of eye rolling to yell at people behind her to put together your food. They have a whole bar of toppings for burgers / sandwiches behind the counter and don't give you an opportunity to add anything or tell you everything they have to top your burger with (I was too short to see what was in all the containers). So they just basically yell a lot and hand you a greasy hockey puck of a burger plain on a bun and send you on your merry way. They also only help one person at a time too so while you wait for your food they don't take other orders and the line is slooooooow. I miss the old system where you went up to the counter, ordered, and as soon as you got what you wanted you went to the register. It made more sense because if you were getting something that didn't require a wait you could be in and out quickly.
The whole experience makes me want to avoid baseball for the rest of the season. Such a shame, we have a nice ballpark in Baltimore.

This one goes on the must-try-next-week list. The on-site ales are the draw for me.
