Baltimore restaurants had to change their methods of operation on a dime during the pandemic and many barely survived. Fortunately for some, there was an online community that stepped in to help out; food bloggers.
As the most difficult time for local, independently owned, restaurants in recent history wore on, Baltimore food bloggers from different internet platforms pulled together to spread information and content that helped all of their favorite spots stay open.
Simone Phillips, who crafted multiple viral Twitter threads from her handle, @charmcitytable, highlighted her Baltimore favorites. She has had threads ranging from seafood to vegan to Black owned restaurants and more.
“Folks would mention those threads specifically when they showed up to the restaurant to get their plates,” she says. “So it was really cool that it had, and continues to have, such a positive response from everybody.”
