Riding the Yacht Rock Revue waves of ultimate tribute success

Yacht Rock isn’t just a music category of modern documentary making, it’s a spirited way of life for Nick Niespodziani, founding member of Yacht Rock Revue who tells early adopter and sailor hat cruise fan Nestor about the real history and ethos of the greatest tribute band in America. Go steal away with them at the new Baltimore Soundstage on Sunday, September 21st.

Settling your stomach about acid reflux and GERD

We all know that awful feeling of eating too much or the wrong kinds of foods and the unpleasantness of an upset stomach.

Banding together with friends and family at Trifecta Food Truck & Music Festival in Timonium on September 20th

It’s fun, affordable and has become a Baltimore fall tradition for anyone who loves great music.

Joe Flacco: Coming back to Baltimore to set the record straight on Cleveland

We’ve been writing about and talking to Joe Flacco about football since the day he was drafted in Baltimore in 2008.

Do you believe Justin Tucker, words of Ravens “leadership” or the 10-game suspension from NFL?

It’s pretty simple: Justin Tucker is gone from the Baltimore Ravens and serving a 10-game NFL suspension for the outrageous conduct outlined in a tremendous piece of journalism done by the sports and news reporting team of Chris Korman at The Baltimore Banner. Here, he continues his Maryland Crab Cake Tour discussion with Bill Cole and Nestor about local journalism and its difficulty and impact.

The offseason business of last place and Camden Yards renovations for Orioles

When it’s been as lousy as it has been for as long as it has been, we all realized the Baltimore Orioles rebuild and retool under new ownership could be a “work in progress.” Georgetown sports business professor and one-time leader of the Birdland sales and business operation Marty Conway discusses this tumultuous time in MLB for media, money and labor peace whilst Camden Yards gets renovated and David Rubenstein tries to figure out a baseball franchise presumably with Mike Elias still picking players.

Kicking up the truth about Justin Tucker at The Baltimore Banner

As local journalism continues to evaporate, The Baltimore Banner proved earlier this year that a big story still needs real professional journalists, facts, witnesses and lots of lawyers as the Justin Tucker scandal was unearthed by its team. Sports editor Chris Korman joins Bill Cole and Nestor to discuss what really happened after Justin Fenton and Julie Scharper received a tip about the kicker of the Baltimore Ravens being a serial predator nuisance to women in the massage industry all over the region.

No. 11 on #TastyNes Tour & WNST Baltimore 27th Anniversary: Pennsylvania Dutch Market and Mary’s Donuts Maple Bacon Glazed

It’s the kind of donut that makes you want another one – or three. If you love fried dough and want some tasty, tender, loving, Amish care in every light bite, come see this beautiful family operation one morning late in the week. Right on York Road in Hunt Valley. Pick the one you like because every choice is the right one at Mary’s Donuts in the Pennsylvania Dutch Market.

No. 12 on #TastyNes Tour & WNST Baltimore 27th Anniversary: Chap’s Pit Beef

It was all ours in East Baltimore for decades before Guy Fieri and the food culture of America discovered this little pit beef shack secret in Armistead Gardens. The operation has moved a few hundred feet in recent years and looks – and tastes – better than ever. You knew this was high on this list. It was only a matter of where…and how, so let us show you.

As Orioles continue to flail, Ravens set to sail into Buffalo with Super Bowl expectations

Our favorite sports cartoonist Mike Ricigliano has been a recurring cast member for four decades on the local scene. In preparation of another Baltimore vs. Buffalo war, Ricig once again shared his twisted Western New York roots and Orioles heart with Nestor at Koco’s Pub on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour. And how he’d draw up another Super Bowl parade…

The Bills Mafia fund for Mark Andrews is over $146,624 and you need to meet one of the kids who made it happen

This will be the best story of “Buffalo” week. Last winter, we met Ryan Patota and Nicholas Howard, who began a Go Fund Me page for juvenile diabetes awareness after Mark Andrews’ infamous drop against the Bills and the online bullying began in the aftermath of a tough playoff loss for the Baltimore Ravens. Nestor welcomes the heroic young Patota back onto the show to tell his special journey in life and why you’ll want to help support this aspiring sports journalist’s efforts for Breakthrough. Watch and be inspired!

Bananas and The BMW Championship and a month of sports fun in Baltimore

Sure, Wendy Bronfein is the Chief Brand Officer at Curio Wellness but she’s also a Bananas baseball mom, sponsor of the BMW Championship with a special connection to Caves Valley and loves sports enough to join us on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour to chat with Nestor about when Baltimore comes together to pack ’em in.

No. 16 on #TastyNes Tour & WNST Baltimore 27th Anniversary: Clavel Tacos

For most of our #TastyNes Tour, we’ve been featuring one special dish – our favorite craving item – on most menus at all of these local places we love. But for Day 16 on this journey, there are simply too many tasty tacos to only test one or two at this oasis in the center of Baltimore. When you go to Clavel, get ready to have the best tacos in town and a flavor you’ll savor.

Celebrating 40 years of crab cake love with nice people only (and Koco-nut Shrimp) at Koco’s Pub

The sign on the door says: ONLY NICE PEOPLE ALLOWED! And somehow Marcella Knight and the awesome folks at Koco’s Pub were still nice enough to allow us to celebrate their 40th Anniversary that required some #TastyNes Koconut Shrimp along on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour from the heart of Lauraville with tales of our favorite things to eat in Baltimore along with our favorite Ko-Host, sports cartoonist Ricig.

When the owners of Birdland ask Orioles fans for the next round of funding after a season like this…

When you invite three busy friends and guests onto the Maryland Crab Cake Tour at Costas Inn in Timonium and they all converge simultaneously, you host a candid, spontaneous chat about the realities of a Birdland Insider membership and being a modern Baltimore Orioles customer, fan and an ATM for ownership no matter what happens – on or off the field. A sports editor, a roofer and a duct sucker all walk into a bar with a guy from Dundalk…

Almost a billion and climbing…

The jackpot for the Powerball keeps soaring and Maryland Lottery Executive Director John Martin is here for all that happens when someone hits the big one and to introduce a few new games and Labor Day fun at MDLottery.com.

No. 17 on #TastyNes Tour & WNST Baltimore 27th Anniversary: Icy Delights Egg Custard Snowball

We’re all big kids when we get to the front of the snowball line and need to decide on a flavor. When in doubt, always go with egg custard or skylight. And always go to Icy Delights. Trust me: we’ve tried ’em all! People in East Baltimore know. Dundalk born; now shared even on Sundays in various Baltimore County spots. Cool off! And do the marshmallow if you wanna…

Dear Steve Bisciotti: Ask Chad Steele what he thinks I said about Sage so I can tell Ravens fans why I was really exterminated

“What did do you do wrong, Nestor?” “Why would the Ravens throw you out?” “Why are you the only one in the local media whom they’ve thrown out?” “Why have they treated you this way?” “WHAT DID YOU DO WRONG!?!” I am fed up with these questions from Baltimore sports fans so I wrote to the owner because these questions are his to answer. Letters to John Harbaugh and Eric DeCosta are also coming soon.

On all that ails the Baltimore Orioles…

Longtime sports columnist and decorated author John Eisenberg returns to the Maryland Crab Cake Tour at Costas Inn in Timonium to discuss his Bird Tapes of Orioles tales and lore and to discuss the future of Birdland for everyone in Baltimore who loves baseball. Has it really been 30 years since the Cal Ripken 2131 game? Are they in last place again? Where are the fans? Does David Rubenstein know what he is doing? Is Mike Elias the right guy?

No. 18 on #TastyNes Tour & WNST Baltimore 27th Anniversary: Blue Moon Too Cap’N Crunch French Toast

We lived three blocks from Blue Moon Too in Federal Hill for over a decade and it was dangerous. It should be no shocker that the peanutty, crunchy, brunchy, fruity whipped deliciousness of this original concoction has brought foodies in from everywhere. But, yeah, it’s as decadently delightful as it ever was and worth the wait if you have to on Light Street. (Sometimes we even bring our own maple syrup!)

The heady hangover of BMW Championship and golf awesomeness at Caves Valley

If you witnessed either of the two BMW Championship stops at Caves Valley over the past four years, you know what we’re talking about here at Faidley’s on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour.
