The 38 Best Restaurants in Baltimore | Eater DC
"We often wonder when Jesse Sandlin sleeps. The Top Chef alum is seemingly brimming with ideas, whether it’s her vibrant Highlandtown spot Sally O’s or neighborhood bar the Dive. But locals can tell she poured her entire heart and soul into Bunny’s, a stylized diner where fried chicken and champagne are at the forefront, which she opened last spring. In a stunning transformation, the longtime Wharf Rat space (all dark wood, like the belly of a ship) morphed into a sparkling, retro-tinged oasis. Whether you’re perched at the huge center bar or one of the round booths in the corner, Bunny’s is made for snacking and sipping — Ritz crackers with creamy pimento cheese dip, dressed deviled eggs, or melty biscuits with honey butter. Playfully named cocktails (we are partial to the gin-based Ramona Flowers) and welcome spirit-free options round out the menu. Of course, patrons can order fried chicken by the bucket, on a sandwich with hot honey and ranch, or atop a black-eyed pea cassoulet. Those options are also available during weekend brunch, when Bunny’s truly shines." - Jess Mayhugh
