If some famous person showed up on your doorstep and said take me to your favorite place to eat in Baltimore...where would you take them?

Chap's is alright. I honestly prefer Charcoal Grill, though.

harborque is my favorite bbq, in locust point. however if i was taking a famous person somewhere itd be rubens in federal hill. he makes the best homemade hot sauce/salsa/guac that i have ever had.
