Baltimore Diner blog.
Richard Gorelick was appointed The Baltimore Sun's restaurant critic in September 2010. Before joining the paper staff fulltime, he contributed freelance criticism and features articles about food to area and regional publications. Along the way, he dispatched for short-distance trucking companies, shilled for cultural non-profits, and assisted in cognitive neurology research – never the subject, always the control.
He takes restaurants seriously but not himself, and his favorite restaurant is the one you love, too.
Jill Rosen has a story in today's Taste section about the enduring appeal of snowballs. Our friend who is moving to San Francisco will be happy to learn that an former Marylander is operating a snowball truck out there.

Not a snowball fan. I'd rather have ice cream

Agree whole-heartedly, AR. I've never understood the love for snoballs. I'm also not usually a fan of italian ice, also I do LOVE The Cow on Main Street in Reisterstown. If you have not experienced the power of The Cow, GO FORTH!

Ooh - The Cow! Chocolate-Banana ice with soft serve! It was a regular haunt when I lived in Owings Mills before heading north to Hampstead.

Filipino halo-halo. Jackfruit, strips of young coconut, sweet beans, sweet bananas, shaved ice doused with evaporated milk and the whole thing topped with leche flan and ube (purple yam) ice cream. Yumm.
