Pit Beef

It is a little known fact in the Baltimore area that pit beef is a regional thing. You won’t find it much, if at all in, Virginia or Pennsylvania. This article from the New York Times explores the subject in detail.

One of my favorite places for pit beef is Fast Eddie’s in Fallston, MD. I like mine cooked medium, with onions, horseradish, and barbeque sauce, on a kaiser roll. Fries or onion rings, and coleslaw are the standard accompaniments. I have yet to venture is to making my own, but when I do, I’ll share the results.

This truck roams Baltimore delivering well crafted sweet treats. They tweet their location (@icedgemsbaking) and bring the goods. I had the chocolate hazelnut when they were in the area last week. It was just what I was hoping it would be. I’ll be back when they come back for sure.

This roaming truck is a great lunch option. Everyday they set up shop at a different location in or around Baltimore. They tweet their location the day before, and again the morning of. If it is in your area it is worth a stop. I had the Elvis burger yesterday. It was fantastic.
