Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations

Just a quick mention that part of the next episode of Anthony Bourdain's show, No Reservations, was filmed in Baltimore. It's called "Rust Belt," and it includes

The Wire’s best guide us through crab cakes and Lake Trout. At The Roost, Tony and Zamir enjoy an outdoor meal of fresh fish. Afterward, Tony spends some time with ‘Snoop’, a local legend, who gives him a tour of her old neighborhood in East Baltimore and takes Tony to enjoy a mélange of delicious seafood at Mo’s.

The show airs tonight, 7/27, at 10pm.
