Breaking out of my comfort zone, tasting different gourmet things at Aldo’s [classic article]

Though I travel all over the world and taste different foods, I’m no different from everyone else: I have my favorites and they’re hard to pass up! Aldo’s is by far the most gourmet Italian restaurant in Baltimore. Whenever I go there, power players and celebs who are passing through the city are chowing down. I’m always so tempted to chime in with my two cents when I overheard their plans in terms of world domination!

I recently went to Aldo’s, where co-owner/chef Sergio Vitale personally selected some things for me to taste, a complete surprise. Aldo’s doesn’t have a tasting menu per se, but you can always ask him for recommendations! They’re not the recommendations that you get at any restaurant — things they want to push. They’re specially selected to show off culinary flavors you might not be expecting.
