Towson, MD: Obrycki’s

Our final Bloody Mary stop in Maryland came at the airport.

While waiting for our mid-morning flight, we enjoyed breakfast and a Bloody at Obrycki’s.

Not going to lie, we weren’t super-hungry, but a sign for their “Crabby Mary” lured us in.

Obryckis Bloody Mary Crabby

Mix: Homemade with Absolut Peppar and rimmed with Obryckis special spicy seafood seasoning

Chaser: No

Fixin’s: Celery, cherry tomato, olive, lime and the coup de grace: a crab claw!

Price: $10.50

We wanted to see if there were other Obrycki’s  locations and in our research, we learned that the restaurant was established in 1944 as a Crab House and Seafood Restaurant in Baltimore’s Fells Point neighborhood by members of the Obrycki family. In 1986 they expanded into a larger location adjacent to the original location 1986, which closed in 2011. Thus, the only current location is, surprisingly, at the BWI airport.

 

So glad we got to leave Maryland on this high note. It would’ve been disappointing not to have some sort of seafood in our drink. This was extremely flavorful and hit the spot. If you’re flying out of BWI, leave some extra time to check ’em out.

Our next Bloody Mary in Maryland (ooh, just had a thought–what if there was a place called Bloody Maryland? That would be fantastic, anyway, I digress) came with dinner at Cunningham’s.

Cunningham’s is an upscale, seasonal restaurant with a weekday prix fixe and plenty of other options, including a great dessert list, extensive wine list and plenty of other libation offerings.

We checked out their Bloody Mary, and also their version of the Moscow Mule.

Mix: Homemade

Chaser: No

Fixin’s: Two Olives

Price: $Unsure

This Bloody Mary, like the one we had at Towson Tavern, was simple and quite small. It didn’t have as much distinct flavor as I had hoped, so for my second beverage, I tried their Moscow Mule, which was a much better choice. Their food was fantastic as well.

From what I am told, this is one of the nicest restaurants in Towson, so if you’re in the area, you should definitely check it out. However, don’t seek it out just for its Bloody Mary.

We recently had a quick one-night trip  to Towson, Maryland (just outside of Baltimore). We didn’t have time to research the best bloodies in the area like we usually would, but we did our best to sample as many as time allowed.

Our first stop was for lunch at the Towson Tavern.

This bloody mary was simple, but hit the spot. You could detect the horseradish and, true to the region, the Old Bay seasoning. They also had “Dead Rise,” an Old-Bay flavored beer, on tap. We sampled that as our unofficial chaser–I think they should start serving them together!
