As the new Costas Inn North is set to open this month at the Timonium Race Course Grandstand, we offer a birthday tribute to Mister Costas with Nick Triantafilos and Chuck Jacobs joining Nestor on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour to story tell about his recent passing and legacy of kindness and generosity you can feel inside the walls of the legendary Dundalk location.
Nestor Aparicio and guests celebrate the life of Mr. Costas, who passed away recently, and the opening of a new Timonium location. The conversation reflects on Mr. Costas’ impact on the community, his humble beginnings, and his dedication to family and friends. The new Timonium location, set to open by the end of April, will offer a similar menu to the original Dundalk location, except for crabs. The discussion also touches on personal anecdotes, including Mr. Costas’ generosity, his love for baseball, and his influence on the community. The Maryland Lottery and local businesses are mentioned as sponsors, and the segment ends with a tribute to Mr. Costas and anticipation for the new location.

Nick Triantafilos 01:09
how are you doing? Well, doing well. Thanks. Best, yeah.
Nestor Aparicio 01:13
I mean, your dad’s been staring at me here. He’s got pictures on the wall. I’m all over the place, and he’s alive to me. I keep looking back in a cage. Here I see Mike. I on his birthday. I’m having a hard time, and I know you are as well, but I been texting with your brother today. Your father set this whole thing up that life would go on without him, and I come in here to add a delicious crab cake. Timonium is happening. Everything your father set out to do in life. Certainly, I think in this last month, we’ve realized how much he accomplished.
Nick Triantafilos 01:46
Yes, it is tremendous amount, tremendous amount. What can you say about the man’s life? You know? Well,
Nestor Aparicio 01:51
you put that picture up this morning, four in the morning, birthday cake shot of him on it. Now, what are the odds? Chuck, I text Pete a day after I left here super week, and I said, april 11 is the next time I’m coming in anyway to settle out of that date, huh? Just I did not know it was his birthday. I clearly thought he’d be here. I always thought he was going to do the show. He never did the show with me. And the reason was he didn’t like his English enough. He would always say to me, I know they don’t want to listen to me. I Yeah, you beat the nickel. That
02:23
was the beauty. That accent was awesome when it he
Nestor Aparicio 02:25
refused to come on, and then he started making fun of me. He would come over when I’m packing the bag up. He would wait for me to get the last cable. Everything would be and he’s like, I’m ready. I’m ready to do I don’t do next time, next time. I’ll do next time. And then that’s next time never came. What would he say about this business? Because the question I would ask him, and I’ll channel you and your brother and your sister when you come on, is, how did it wind up here? I mean, how did it wind up here in this area? Because Ken even came and said, we used to play men’s baseball back here. There was a field back here. You were a boy when that were back a long time, right? Oh, yes. How did dag make it the Dundalk of all of all things? Well, when he came
Nick Triantafilos 03:07
over from Greece, he ended up in edgy mayor of all places, down there off of Lincoln Avenue. Why? Well, that’s where his family was, okay. They were already here. Yep, yep. So he came here, and he lived on Lincoln Avenue, and they had a bar next bar at the time, which is now the sale in Okay, yeah, and he was there for several years. He met my mom in 60 and they got married in 61 and here we are, and here we are. You came on 60 very shortly, 62 Yes, there you go, alright, well, from Edgemere, and then they will drive by this place. And my dad will say, one day we’re going to own that place, all right, yeah. And eventually he ended up making this was here, just the original bar. Here. That is the original the addition came when, late 80s, early 90s, 9192 for the addition 90s.
Nestor Aparicio 03:55
I remember when I came in with my mom the first time in the addition happened. She she lost her bearings. My mom down here some Friday nights for crabs and whatnot, leave the kids at home. This was an adult place. Now rogerios, because we could walk through, well, we could walk to ruggerios. So that made it different, because my family didn’t drive, you know, so that’s what we were. But when they went out without the kids they went to they came here, right? A big and more than that. The last time I saw your father alive back there, I tried to get him in a picture, and he
04:33
was he being shot. Pronounce your
Nestor Aparicio 04:35
last name, so I get it right. Train topless, certainly as the East Baltimore pronunciation, that’s
Nick Triantafilos 04:40
not we lost. Is the alright, you know, if you want a little clear to it,
Nestor Aparicio 04:44
last time I saw him alive here, I looked across the bars with my my wife on this side, and one of my best friends growing up, John Rapha lead, his good Greek guy raffle his family. So I ran into John Rapha lead Margie and. Their daughter, and she’s a little basketball player, softball player, and I saw my saw love. I came over, your dad was kind of in the way over there by the lottery thing. And I thought, wanted a picture, and he disappeared. And I’m like, Alright, then we’ll just take the picture without him. And we took the picture of me. And then I looked at Margie, and I realized margie’s Dad was my dad’s driver to work, but he always worked the three to 11 shift, and my dad worked day. So sometimes on weekends, my dad would pick up a three to 11 to get time and a half right, because that’s where the point was right, and Mr. Joe would be his driver would so I looked at her, and I thought, Oh, my God, you married my best friend. Your father used to drive my father get their checks cashed onto the whiskey sign, and they would bring home in a bag steam shrimp, the only way God meant for them with beer and onions, the way you do, you know what I mean, the way, the way you do them. And my dad would bring shrimp home if he was late on a Friday, my mom would know is because, always a Friday, because of fishing, like all that, my dad would bring shrimp home from Costas with Mr. Joe Thomas, whose daughter married my friend who I took a picture with here three weeks ago, because that’s what Dundalk is. Is it not small tomorrow, right? How long have you been coming to Costas? Because I, every time I come in, Chuck manages drug city, but I’m two out of three times I’m here, you’re here.
Chuck Jacobs 06:22
Yeah, I was 16, so it was 1989 and this is before the restaurant side, and I was working on the grounds crew for the Orioles. And I grew up here in North Point village. And there what? St, st Monica. Okay, I still have the house by the element. My son’s mother is st Patricia court. Yep, and we
Nestor Aparicio 06:44
hard to be a saint in the city. I gotta give that No. Well,
Chuck Jacobs 06:48
we needed a place to cash our checks, so we came to casas, and we’d park in the lot where the restaurant is. We’d come in that side door, hook the right and go right to the wind. Everyone came in that side door, right. And then there was two gentlemen working, and some most time your dad was here, and Nick and Pete were cashing checks, and they see my logo on the check, and it was the Baltimore Orioles logo. And Nick more than Pete, but we start talking baseball next, you know, I’m staying at the window for 15 minutes, and that happened for three years straight. And then the restaurant opened up, and my daughter, it was her first ballet recital, and we said, let’s try to stop down and get some food. They got a restaurant a Casas. Now we came in and it was packed. I mean, it was just open not long before that, and Pete saw me come in, excuse me, and he picked up a reserve sign and said, Chuck, right here. I got you and I it was great. So and then when they had music here, my previous band played here many of times, Jim and I played here, a heavy soul, and so just coming in, just relationships. And then my sons both worked here, crab room, servers, etc, and
Nestor Aparicio 07:51
even pointed half a Dundalk. Your
07:53
family had some reach.
Chuck Jacobs 07:57
Chuck’s family. You know, people would say, like, you’ll go there by yourself. I’m never by myself, ever someone I know someone here. Always, that’s true. So I never had a problem like coming after work to get a drink and
Nestor Aparicio 08:07
watch. It really is the truth that when I’m in here, I never know who or how I’m gonna run into somebody I can’t be no came in. I’ve been here three hours now. Beano came in, right? And Beano and I started the show, and I’m like, welcome back. We’re W, n, s, t, and then Sasha beaver sister Julie looking at me. I just started the show, and she walked out. She’s making monkey shines here over your father’s memorial stuff, laughing at me, waving to me through the window. And it, you know, I feel like I’m at home when I’m here today. This doesn’t feel like work coming in here, talking
08:43
Oh, he radiated love. Well,
Nestor Aparicio 08:44
there’s today’s his birthday, and I swore I wasn’t going to make you cry. You’re not going to make me cry because, well, I’m crying, dude. I was wrecked when I left the funeral couple Sundays ago, and I went home, I went to bed at 630 that night. I woke up three in
Nick Triantafilos 08:57
a morning a love, huh? Headline, all I can think about we lose
Nestor Aparicio 09:01
special people in this community when I’m talking like Scotty art Donovan, I’ve gone to these funerals in this city that I hope the people in the caskets knew how much people love them and how much a bar and feeding people it is the cheer story. It really is. Everyone
Nick Triantafilos 09:20
was his friend. Everyone was, oh, there’s no question, he took a vested interest in everyone he met. He connected on such a human level, such a personal level. Yep, you know, he was always there to lean on if you ever needed a picker upper. Yep, you know, he celebrated, oh, your great accomplishments. Have you had something great happen in your life, but genuinely embraced your sorrows with you as well. Yeah, he was there one or two words, but that’s all you needed. Well,
Nestor Aparicio 09:45
I told everybody when I wrote genuine, just because very genuine. It was very genuine. I wrote that piece about him morning of the funeral that Sunday, because I woke up and I’d been away all week when he died, I left Epcot and. Checked in with my wife was at Epcot on that Monday before opening day, the day he passed, and that Monday night, I went back to a hotel room 930 and I’ve worn out. I walked 50,000 steps. I drank my way around Canada. You know, some moose heads, but I came to my room and I talked to my wife for a couple minutes, say good night to her. And I put the phone down, and the phone went off, and I was like, half asleep in a hotel room, and I looked down Ray Bachman texted me about your dad.
Nick Triantafilos 10:25
That’s how you found I’m like, Ah, dude. I’m like, I
Nestor Aparicio 10:29
can’t call my wife. I’m not calling her. And then she got mad in the morning. I you know, I was up at four in the morning and whatever. And then I had to tell her, and my wife, ah, you know, she loves your dad, man, you know, so everybody loved your dad. You’re gonna go bust me up for but I’ll just say this, in that period of time, that week, I had to write about your dad, and I thought about what a institutional spot this is that maybe that didn’t resonate for your family. Maybe it has, and this will get you, get me out of crying. Talk about Timonium a little bit. Yeah, but you took on the second location. Speak on behalf of your family. How many times Costas was told we should go to Bel Air? We should have a west side. We should have South Side. We should be at the airport. We should be at the Orio games. We should and you, you, you run horses, you’ve raised a family. You’ve raised people, his kids, you know, my mother, my kid, all of that. Pete called me Christmas week and said he sent me a note. He said, Hey, I gotta talk to you. I’m like, oh, everything’s all right. He’s like, Hey, we’re going into the racetrack. You know, we’re not gonna be official for a week or so. But you know, your brother called me, tells me this, and I’m like, That’s interesting. But race track and your old man and all these horses around, yeah, where
Nick Triantafilos 11:47
he was in the game 30 years you’re supposed to be Yeah, seemed like a natural progression.
Nestor Aparicio 11:53
Give me that, because the reason Nick’s not here, he’s out there right now. Yeah, pizza, pizza there. You’re
Nick Triantafilos 11:59
gonna love the place when you see it, man, it’s incredible. It’s beautiful. Beautiful gives you the comfort of Costas and just like you’re here, Dad’s vision, Pete. Pete’s fun. The heck of a job. How come? When’s it going to open? That’s all that matters. We’re shooting for the end of April, so she’ll be up before the derby fall goes. Well, yeah, end of April, yeah, it’s a couple weeks. I know. I know. Are we that close? Really? We are that close now I’m hearing any major setback. I’m
Nestor Aparicio 12:24
getting the family. This is an insider interview. This is they will not have crabs, real crabs in Timonium. You still got to come down to the dirty. Gotta
Nick Triantafilos 12:35
come the original location for the crabs. Yes, yes. But we’ll have all the other favorites that made this place what it is,
Nestor Aparicio 12:40
I just had two crab cakes at Beano ransom here, and he, he’s Gucci. He’s Sedona guys. They want their crab cake broiled. You know what I mean? Yeah, I’m down and dirty. I want fried. Yeah, I like fried too. I hate a fry. Those my fingers. I ate it finger by finger by finger. I didn’t get any fork, none of that today. And I’m like, crunch, crunch, crunching. I’m like, that’s the way I like it, you know. So I can still get a fried crab cake and Timonium. I could always get
Nick Triantafilos 13:09
everything you can get here except crabs. That’s the only thing that you won’t be able to get into otherwise, the whole menu, all our favorites, the Rockefeller, everything’s all there. I did
Nestor Aparicio 13:17
something to honor your dad today, and I didn’t realize it till I ordered it. I was up in Toronto two weeks ago. Didn’t get anything to eat in Toronto, big city, and I really was looking for a heato and or a shawarma one or the other. Swarms little more garlicky for me. My wife wasn’t with me. I had to sleep with myself. So I don’t know about the garlic. I got a blister. I wound up not getting the heato. And then on my way over here today, I sort of like, I stopped. I got Chuck from drug city here, by the way, and I got, I got Nick from Costas. I got a jewel drug city. I have a problem with drug city. I take it up with George in a minute. But I came over earlier, and I sat at the bar here, and I got the menu. Karen brought it over. She if you know what you want, I’m like, I don’t know what I want, but I think I want to. I want to heat up. So today, my daughter in law’s favorite thing on your menu is the chicken Hedo. Oh yeah, because you make this a ziki, agree, they know what they’re doing. That’s mom. That’s mom. Okay, I got it today, and I never get it because I get the shrimp. I get the right mushroom caps, which are the best in the world I get today, to honor your father, I got a silly chicken Hedo here, like the last thing down on the menu for me, after all the seafood, all the stuff you do, and it was unbelievably delicious
Nick Triantafilos 14:36
stuff, huh? I mean, it’s like, you’re Greek. It’s
Nestor Aparicio 14:39
all Greek to me. They got
14:40
their act together back there. Can I
Nestor Aparicio 14:43
complain about drug city? Can I launch a complaint officially? I went in today. How many bottles of wine you got in there? Chuck,
Chuck Jacobs 14:48
10,000 liquor store, I would assume quite a bit. I
Nestor Aparicio 14:52
went in today. And maybe it’s because my wife is rated it and you need to reorder it. George, who’s the, who’s the managing the. The liquor store so I can get the right person, Eric. Eric, it’s on you, Eric and Rachel. Rachel is the wine person. She does. Rachel ordering specifically. Listen to me. You are out of layer cake mall back. And I went in there today. They had every mall back the trip. He shouldn’t get it did. And I looked and I saw the back of one empty rack full of all back every mall back Argentina, high all this, mine’s gone. What are the odds of that? Very popular back. I guess it’s very popular. All right, we’ll regroup over there. I can help you with bourbon any day.
Chuck Jacobs 15:40
But yeah, I can definitely Eric or Rachel. Rachel does the ordering with Eric. Of course,
Nestor Aparicio 15:44
put a case in a case of special discount drug cities, like a place I’ve really been going all my life, baseball cards, video tapes, that special little area in the video tape area that’s now the fountain that I remember when,
Nick Triantafilos 15:59
oh yeah, oh yes, that’s right. It was a video. That’s right. It was, well,
Nestor Aparicio 16:03
right before I was 18, you know,
16:06
8586 87 and city
Nestor Aparicio 16:09
to go in there, that’s for adults only. In there, they got the smokers in there, where smokers were, you know, I’m talking about, I sure do. Nobody out there, who knows what a smoker even is right? That’s how old we are. Fountain. And what you do down old
Chuck Jacobs 16:26
time soda fountain, we serve up a great lunch menu every day. Was this lobster mac and cheese. You get no bougie. We’re doing a little bit of
Nestor Aparicio 16:32
lobster product now. We’re trying to put Costas out of business over there with a lobster bag. Not at all. We
Chuck Jacobs 16:37
do a nice menu every day for lunch, soup, salad, rather soup and sandwich rather and nice little spot, homemade sodas, just like they used to make back in the day. And it’s a nice little place.
Nestor Aparicio 16:46
Maybe a butter, Scott, would you make me a butter? What’s that thing? Butterscotch? Old Fashioned. I’ve had one old fashioned in my life, in my whole life, that was you and your son and Gina shock, that’s correct. I went. It was her birthday. Well, your first my birthday. I did my show on my birthday in there, and my son, who never hangs out with me, he’s gonna, is he here now? He said he was stopping by. I don’t know where he is, but he only lives over here in Dundalk, but he came to the show, and I wrapped everything. I was kind of like your old man, like I wrapped everything up, and I walk downstairs, and I’m walking through, like, somewhere where, like, the food is, and all the bubble gum and the hair clips and everything’s there in front of the pharmacy. And there’s gene shock walking in the middle of drug City. She wasn’t dressed up, had no makeup on or whatever. Gives me a hug. What are you doing here? Yeah, that’s pretty good, Gina, what do you do? And I said, it’s my birthday. It’s your birthday. We gotta go get you a drink. Come on, let’s go to the bar. Yeah, that’s nice. And I’m over there drinking eyeballs. I’m drinking butterscotch eyeballs. By the way, Gina put the band back together. They’re playing Coachella tomorrow night, and I’m seeing him in Vegas in a couple of weeks, she sat here, she did Christmas right in this chair with her dog, Penny, her little dog. So we got real celebrities in Dundalk, you know, but no bigger celebrity than your dad, anybody. And
18:12
he was the mayor. He
18:15
was
Nestor Aparicio 18:16
what has over this course of losing your father, is there anything poignant that’s happened in regard to somebody knowing him, with a story you didn’t know about in some way,
Nick Triantafilos 18:26
cheese? So many said it’s amazing how many people he touched. I mean, did you learn
Nestor Aparicio 18:31
something literally? And say, I learned something that, Oh, my God, it took my father dying to learn I never would have known that in a million years.
Nick Triantafilos 18:40
So many. Just the one thing that resonated through all the conversations I had is how he would be there for people. Sometimes during their darkest moments,
Nestor Aparicio 18:49
they would come to him, yeah. When they come to him bad, they would come to him, yeah.
Nick Triantafilos 18:53
And how many people attributed the fact that they were here today because of that? And I’m not, I’m talking more than one person. It’s amazing. How many people he touched on such a deep level,
Nestor Aparicio 19:02
he came in here as a quiet he’s a quiet man,
Nick Triantafilos 19:05
yes, very quiet, very high man, quiet, humble man intimidated
Nestor Aparicio 19:08
me for years with his quietness, right? Like, I don’t know how many years I came in here before I really started speaking to him. And I mean that in a respectful way, and I even mean that to the last breath that I saw him, when he gave the pen to my wife, he came. He loved those I watched him. I watched him pour drinks here the last time I ever I don’t know why I was fixated on him three weeks ago when I saw him here, but I was fixated on watching him. And He came over to me and he offered us a beer, sweetheart, do you need a beer? You know, like, it’s what he always did. We were over there, and I watched him, and he gave my wife a pen on the way out. And I don’t know why it struck me that he would give her a pen because she did. We didn’t want dessert, like she was going out of town or something. She’s like, I don’t want any dessert. Don’t. Make me don’t put it. He would put it a bag.
Nick Triantafilos 20:03
8You know, he was that way. He was that the gift to
Nestor Aparicio 20:06
me in the whole aftermath, when I wrote about him on that Sunday morning, was that that Vice video, that Steve Show, yeah, came in, and I still got to get Steve on a show at some point. But that’s that’s not um, that video inspired my documentary. That it captured, we did did a good job catching the SSL well, your brother text me when it was live at Christmas time, about a year and a half ago, and I didn’t watch it for like, another couple weeks. It already had a couple 1000 views by the time I found it, and my wife and I watched it over dinner one night for the it’s only 12 minutes long, and I watched it, and I’m like, that’s who he is. And I don’t know how vice got him and your brother to sit down over there and tape that thing, but I wanted to do that with your dad so bad, and I was so thrilled in watching it that he said what he needed to say. And he just the way I am, just the way I am. He said, you know, and to me, the fact that you have that, and that that was made was a real gift to me, because that replaced him coming on my show for me, and the things I would ask, because I would ask, sure, where he got he didn’t want to do it, you know,
Nick Triantafilos 21:19
once he got to know you, he’d warm up a little bit, but he didn’t like to talk about talk about himself very much. You know, you talk about
Nestor Aparicio 21:25
No, and that’s why I wanted to learn from him in that way. I mean, he comes over
Nick Triantafilos 21:28
here to this country at the age of 15 with $5 in his pocket, right? And you talk about stories of the significance of things that I didn’t realize until later. Every time a young, young, you know, kid, little kid comes up, you know, whatever, 2345, years old, my dad will always give him $5 my
21:45
granddaughter, yeah, like your
Nick Triantafilos 21:47
granddaughter, he would, he would $5 always $5 No, always five Yes. And it took a long time to put it, this, put it together, but when he came over from Greece, all he had was $5 in this.
Nestor Aparicio 22:00
He was giving that $5 away. It’s just, it’s just, it’s, it’s,
Nick Triantafilos 22:04
you know, it’s kind of crazy, but that $5 just comes full circle all the way around. Was always $5 that he would give to somebody, you know, well, my
Nestor Aparicio 22:10
old man gave your old man five bucks back in the 70s for shrimp again and again
Nick Triantafilos 22:15
and again. What were crab cakes? Like? 75 cents? 95 cents?
Nestor Aparicio 22:19
Yeah, I’d be no here. And I said, Hey, you come up with Costas? He’s like, Yeah, man, you know, Costas is legendary, you know, like his pals taking crabs home to his mom, who, she loves your crabs, so And look, my son has shown up here. See, I knew he would be here. Wave hi to the camera. Tell everybody He’s alive. He’s still here. What color’s your hair? Pink, all right. Pink, that’s good. That’s all right.
22:42
You might be able to pull that
Nestor Aparicio 22:44
off. I can’t with this. Let this out when? When I let this out. How can I complain about my kids hair? When? This is what my hair looks like, right?

And I talked to your dad one day, credited this establishment and Dundalk and him becoming Baltimore County Executive back in the 7076 I campaigned against him for John colahan. He said to me, we beat his ass, is what Ted said. And Ted was this big at the end of his life. But Ted, when I brought Costas up, he would cost
