From brunch goodies to wine education, the Baltimore food scene covers a lot of bases this week. Here’s a look at what’s coming up:
Openings & announcements
Kneads Bakeshop is opening a new location in The Shops at Canton Crossing. The café, which is slated to open in a few months, will offer breakfast, lunch, pastries and – eventually – brunch cocktails.
Bread & Circuses has gotten a cool facelift by way of a new mural honoring F. Scott Fitzgerald. If you’re in the Towson area, stop by to check out the vibrant artwork.
Congratulations to Ammoora for making an appearance on the New York Times’ 2024 best restaurants list.
Cece’s adds Sunday brunch to its lineup next week – starting on Oct. 6.
Remington Brunch Club
There’s a brand new brunch option in town, starting this Saturday – and returning every week. The Remington Brunch Club is a pop-up event that will take place in the parklet of Mt. Royal Soaps. This week’s lineup includes Café Los Suenos coffee and food from Nana, Illegal Tender, and Mr. Roast Beast.
Kimchi workshop
On Saturday morning, HEX Superette hosts a kimchi workshop, run by HEX Ferments co-founder Meaghan Carpenter. The class includes understanding the steps of making kimchi and a hands-on element resulting in a jar of kimchi to take home.
Bees Knees Week
Gunther & Co. is celebrating Bees Knees Week – an annual event sponsored by Barr Hill Gin – with the introduction of a new gin and honey cocktail called the Thomas Jasper Cat.
Dutch Courage is also in on the Bees Knees Week action, with new concoctions available daily, like the Lisbeth Salander, which combines Barr Hill Gin with Earl Grey tea, Kronan Swidish Pumsch, honey and lemon.
At Bunny’s, there are multiple Bees Knees-style cocktails to choose from this week.
During Bees Knees Week, participating restaurants, shops and individuals can get involved by posting photos and tagging Barr Hill. In exchange, for each post, the gin maker will plant bee habitats to help protect the bees.
Peabody Night at Sotto Sopra
On Sunday, Sotto Sopra will showcase local artists and Peabody students during its monthly Peabody Night event.
Wine Wednesdays at Magdalena
Starting on Oct. 2, Magdalena will host a monthly Wine Wednesday event. The first Wednesday of every month, the restaurant’s “Wine Guy” will lead a tasting and discussion focused on a specific wine region.
Greek Night at Ouzo Bay
On Friday, Oct. 4, Ouzo Bay will be even more Greek than usual, when the Harbor East restaurant celebrates Greek Night. The party includes live music, drink specials, traditional foods and some plate smashing, to add to the vibe.
Ggoma Supper Club x Jonah Kim
Tickets have gone live for the next Ggoma Supper Club event – and it’s a good one. On Monday, Oct. 28, Ggoma chef Tae Strain will team up with Jonah Kim, who became a Baltimore favorite during his time at PABU, the much-missed sushi restaurant that was located in the Four Seasons Hotel. Reed Cahill of Royal Blue will handle beverages.
The dinner, which will take place at Foraged Eatery, will focus on produce from the Mid Atlantic and flavors from Japanese and Korean cuisines.

Oct. 12: Seafood Saturday at 32nd St. Farmers Market
