Editorial Reviews

"Suzanne Loudermilk and Kit Waskom Pollard, two well-established Baltimore writers, have penned a new book that finds a table for readers in some of Balitmore's long-gone eateries, "Lost Restaurants of Baltimore." It's a history of the city through its restaurants -- a book of food and social trends for which readers will find themselves hungry." BaltimoreStyle


"The book chronicles more than 100 years of the city's restaurant history and delves into the stories of 35 beloved spots that have come and gone. (Think everything from Martick's Restaurant Francais and Peerce's Plantation to Spike & Charlie's and Louie's Bookstore Cafe)." Baltimore Magazine
