Great food, great service, great scene—combined with free valet parking and set amidst the diverse and booming Hampden food landscape, The Food Market has earned its place as a new Baltimore classic. {The Food Market, 1017 W. 36th Street, Hampden}
Anyone who knows me knows that one of my top go-to food destinations in town is The Food Market on “The Avenue” in Hampden. Opened six years ago by Chef Chad Gauss, it’s as popular as ever, both with neighborhood locals and diners from around the city. The approachable menu offers clever spins on classic dishes, incorporates seasonal aspects, and changes regularly, so there’s always something new to try. And the consistency of the food quality, as well as how quickly it arrives from the kitchen, makes it one of the best dining values in town.
