Notes for Patti:
Log in or sign up to post a noteCongrats on the feature in the Baltimore Biz. Journal!! The jacket you're wearing is fabulous :-)
The Spicy Mindy, seems to be their signature sauce the graces several plates. I think you can do the Spicy Mindy as a soup, salad or sushi. The actual spiciness depends on the visit (I have found that it varies) We are scheduled for Tuesday the 9th for another visit. (son’s birthday) LOL
Hey, I stopped by this morning to say hi - let's grab a glass of wine sometime soon at V-NO, I would love to know more about what you are doing. And I have not been to VNO since they added a new quiche.

Every single time.* My recipe for yogurty bliss: chocolate-strawberry mix, topped with cinnamon toast crunch and strawberries, then drizzled with the FREE chocolate syrup, and a light sprinkling of, well, sprinkles.
* Luckily, my wallet and waistline thank me that I don't. At least not all the time.

Went for lunch on a slow Sunday, probably because not many people realize it's open yet. $38 is a bit pricey as far as lunch for two goes, but everything was fresh and good quality. The most stand-out item was a rockfish soup starter for $5.50 - two large pieces of fresh rockfish gently poached in the most amazingly flavorful fish broth, garnished with cilantro, shitaki, julienned carrots, and a few cellophane noodles. Very light and soothing, yet still satisfying.
Next up was a Chicken Katsu "small plate" for $7.95. Paired with a $1.50 bowl of rice, this would have been a perfect lunch portion. Also comes with lemon-ginger dressed salad. The batter was light and crisp, the rice ten times better than your typical asian take-out. I'm sure the more classic Tonkatsu (pork) is even better.
Of course, we save the best for last: the sushi! I restrained myself and only ordered one roll: the Chesapeake ($7.75), which included two(!) shrimp tempura with real crabmeat. Though only 4 pieces, each one was huge. Not the best roll I've had, but tasty enough. The quality of the sushi really shines in their nigiri: salmon tasted wild and rich over just a small clump of sushi rice. At Joss, there's both albacore white tuna, as well as the escolar that many places call super white tuna. We opted for the albacore, which was similarly fresh and flavorful. After tasting the albacore, I can't wait to try the buttery escolar. Looking forward to upping the stars on this one, once I return for more "real" sushi.

Jimmy's
Neighborhood: Fells Point Category: DinersThe sentimental side of me loves coming to Jimmy's, because I get to see generations upon generations sitting in the same dining room, eating the same eggs and bacon that they probably did 60 years ago. The practical side of me hates that you can't put tip on a credit card. Somewhere in between lies the actual...
The sentimental side of me loves coming to Jimmy's, because I get to see generations upon generations sitting in the same dining room, eating the same eggs and bacon that they probably did 60 years ago. The practical side of me hates that you can't put tip on a credit card. Somewhere in between lies the actual food experience.
