Baltimore County is home to some very seasoned and well-developed farming communities. The Zahradka Farm is one such establishment -- a family-run homestead with the groundwork to grow a very tasty crop of fresh produce. And in the late summer, early autumn, Zahradka has the best sweet corn you are likely to encounter at any local produce stand. They have plenty of product to sell, so stop by when you get a chance.
Nando's Peri-Peri presents a very rare opportunity for locals to sample international food from an exotic source. Nando's originated in South Africa, and the food is both tasty and a new sensation to American taste buds. Nando's serves chicken - usually whole chicken - which has been seasoned, aged, and smoked to perfection. Once you decide on the size of your order and the intensity of your seasoning, check out the extensive variety of sauces you can use to further flavor the already tasty dish.
One of the more popular side dishes to compliment the flavorful main course is the Flame Grilled Corn on the Cob. Cooked in the same way as the chicken, flame-grilling locks in the flavor of the corn in a way that the traditional preparation method - boiling - fails to do.
