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…

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. Forest Park golf pro R.J. Sheppard joins Nestor to discuss an amazing weekend of Scottie Scheffler memories and wonder aloud if there are any more PGA memories coming in the future of Baltimore after a pair of big weeks and a great setting here in the north county.

The wave that comes after the Ocean City MACo power conference for Maryland

If you’ve seen our Baltimore Positive threads the past two weeks, you know we were in Ocean City discussing the future of Maryland with key business leaders, politicians and influencers in an sea of conferences, parties, beers and cheer. Bill Cole and Nestor discuss the summer calling of Maryland business to Ocean City and what happens after you meet new people…

Jackpot fever!

This is the big one! Seth Elkin of Maryland Lottery talks big Powerball jackpot with Nestor as number soars and Ravens scratchoffs return just in time for football season.

Sweating the Labor of Maryland

The business of Maryland business is jobs and putting people to work in our state. Portia Wu is the Maryland Department of Labor Secretary and joins Nestor to talk economy, the local workforce and the threat of federal cuts on this side of the DMV, where more citizens serve Washington, D.C. than anywhere else.

Adding wings to more flights and heights in Wicomico County

As a Catonsville native who became a school teacher-turned-politician on the Eastern Shore, Wicomico County Executive Julie Giordano educates Nestor on how and why Salisbury is flying higher these days and the issues that matter in her growing community on the edge of the beach but still down on the farm.

Adding up the numbers of Maryland Lottery revenue

Every year at the MACo event in Ocean City, John Martin and Seth Elkin of The Maryland Lottery give Nestor a full report and where all of the dough goes through casino and sports wagering and the many streams of revenue and distribution for the state’s gambling agency. It’s more interesting than you think…

In search of that next great sandwich in life…and finding it on the road to Philly!

The next time you’re out having the best meal of the week or month or year, just remember it’s the icing on the cake to the good life when you find a new place or experience that is memorable. Our preacher of the American Dream, Leonard Raskin, joins Nestor in a search for that next best meal. Even if it’s a hoagie at the foot of the Delaware Memorial Bridge…

Are you as disgusted by the Orioles woeful leadership as we are?

The franchise with the “under new ownership” sign on its last-place standing in the AL East, an evaporating fan base and a cowardly baseball operation that is now fielding minor league tryouts at Camden Yards with the remnants of a bunch of No. 1 draft picks, decided to raise ticket prices while continuing to lower the bar for tone deafness. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss their mutual disgust with every aspect of the Baltimore Orioles, on and off the field – from David Rubenstein and Catie Griggs down to Mike Elias and the sloppy play on the diamond. Stink. Stank. Stunk…

A half a billion reasons to play

It’s getting serious. Seth Elkin of The Maryland Lottery talks big jackpots and Home Run Riches long balls from the Orioles with Nestor before the Ravens season scratch-offs are set to arrive later in August.

Our 27th Anniversary #TastyNes Tour around town brought to you by Curio Wellness as part of our Maryland Crab Cake Tour takes us back to Catonsville and one of the tastiest special occasion treats we can find to splurge on and feel completely self-indulgent in buttery, velvety decadence.

No. 27 on #TastyNes Tour and WNST Baltimore 27th Anniversary Countdown: Philly Pretzel Factory

We begin our month-long journey in the celebration of tastiness and our 27th Anniversary with a stop in Bel Air for the smell of fresh pretzels in the oven.

The connection – and distinct disconnect – of modern Philadelphia and Baltimore professional sports

They met over 40 years ago in the professional sports space. Now a Philadelphia lawyer, Baltimorean Micah Buchdahl was once a Washington Capitals PR assistant who later ran a MISL soccer franchise and maintains his long friendship with Nestor via the Eagles, Phillies and 76ers family passion on his timeline. It’s always a pleasure to welcome Buchdahl home for a discussion about winning, losing and spending the money it takes to host parades and keep fans (and their wallets) engaged.

Everything you ever wanted to know about the “Nastee” theme song from the man who wrote it

If you ever listened to Nestor Aparicio on the radio anytime from 1994 through 2014, you heard the opening theme song many times. “Do you want to get Nastee?” was a line written and rapped by Kwame’, who is involved in the National Hip-Hop Hall of Fame induction ceremony on August 23rd. Last month, he appeared in a community event here at Gwynn Oak Park and the stars aligned to allow him to finally face the music of being a very fun and important ingredient in the sound of the history of Baltimore sports radio.

Getting progressive in the Fast Play lane of Home Run Riches

As baseball season crosses over into football season, Maryland Lottery Executive Director John Martin gives Nestor a sniff for a taste of the Ravens scratch-off contests coming this fall once the kickoffs kick off. But, meanwhile, the Home Run Riches winners add up as the Birds’ bats have awakened with the warm air of summer baseball.

Dela Where and Tax What? Dewey stay or Dewey go?

After a recent quick trip to rock out with Tommy Conwell and The Young Rumblers at the Bottle & Cork in Dewey Beach, Delaware opened his eyes to the incredible growth of the “Lower Shore” of our neighboring “tax-free” state, Nestor asked financial advisor Leonard Raskin why he bought a place in Bethany Beach instead of Ocean City – or anywhere on the Maryland side. The taxes don’t lie…

There’s still time to swing for fence this summer

Amidst a bunch of fun new summer scratch-off games, there’s still time to cash in on the baseball season. Executive Director John Martin of The Maryland Lottery discusses Home Run Riches and big summer winners with Nestor,

Going beyond the coffee on the menu at Zeke’s
