A little bird told me...

So I've got the scoop on what's happening with an famous, old institution in the Baltimore community. My source spoke with an owner a few weeks back and filled me in on the fantastic news. Badly damaged by fire last year, Suburban House had closed its doors indefinitely. Rumors ran rampant that perhaps the beloved deli/restaurant would not reopen. Luckily, such rumors were false--as rumors often are. Thankfully, look for Suburban House to reopen sometime in April. Even better still, there might be two locations.

Suburban House is slated to relocate to Pomona Square on Reisterstown Road, just off the beltway. It will replace Fuddrucker's, which has been plagued with bad luck during this recent economic crisis. Too bad for Fuddrucker's. I never tried their burgers, but heard I wasn't missing much. In any case, this will be a great location for Suburban House to reopen, as (in my humble opinion) they needed a little refreshing of decor.

For those of you who haven't visited, Suburban House is an authentic Jewish kosher deli/restaurant. They also cater various events as well. The menu is extensive and it is often difficult to make a decision as to what to order. That's okay, the prices are so reasonable, you can afford to come back to Suburban House every day of the week if you'd like. Famous for their oversized sandwiches, one can order a sandwich called, "The Mayven" (chopped liver, corned beef, sweitzer, Bermuda onion, and dressing). A personal favorite of mine. Colossal sandwiches like "The Mayven," easily comprise your entire daily recommended caloric intake. Be prepared for a doggie bag or two. Their whitefish salad is unparalleled, and no visit is complete without a side order of potato pancakes, served with sour cream and apple sauce. Service is casual and friendly, and your coffee cup stays full and fresh. An added treat, you can practice your Yiddish with their cute place mats which are great conversational material. Suburban House will be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I'm sure a lot of you are anxious for this restaurant to open up. Their website is still up, with full menu, if you'd like further temptation. The original location may reopen as well, making it an option to the Pomona Square restaurant. As I recall, Suburban House filled up quickly, so two locations might not be a bad idea. I suppose now all we have to do is wait.
