The act of dining or eating out was predominantly “invented” by the French during the Industrial Revolution. In fact, the words associated with eating out stem from the French language. Chef de cuisine (chef), carte des vins (wine list), hostesse (hostess) and hors d’oeuvres are examples of Anglicized words. In its infancy, eating out was reserved for those people traveling, where customers were served in a kitchen-like setting in taverns and inns – the predecessor to the modern day bread and breakfast inn.
Apart from travelers, few people eat out due to necessity. Although the rituals of eating out have become less grand than they were after the Industrial Revolution, eating out is still viewed as an event. Whether you are planning a romantic date with your spouse, celebrating Grandma’s 100th birthday, or are just plain tired of eating at home, Local Restaurants in Gaithersburg offer a plethora of choices. From pub food, family style restaurants or Michelin star establishments, there is something to please every palate and every pocketbook.
Being located on the East Coast has its advantages when it comes to fresh seafood. Baltimore sits on the Patapsco river at the point where it joins Chesapeake Bay. The enormous bay is home to delicious Blue crabs, the most important source of food in terms of quantity, and a chef’s dream. The best of both world’s would be a restaurant combining great steak and seafood choices.
