Nestor Aparicio 00:00
Welcome back, W N st Towson, Baltimore. Baltimore positive we are. Weโre in the window at the Beaumont here at EGS in Mellor in Frederick road. Iโm surprised he still will have the chairs out here because they were out of your lake in Maine in June. Before the break, itโs all brought to you by our friends at the Maryland lottery I still have I have about this many to give away today. And then by August the third weโre gonna be over cost this I have books, shirts, hats, things, giveaways, flyers, pictures, stuff schwag thereโll be giving away in addition to fresh Maryland a lot of scratch offs, our friends and window nation have also put us on the road 866 90 nation I am a one year out on the eighth of august of getting my Windows put in. You buy two you get two free summer long deal. You get two years 0% financing take advantage of that. Actually two years 2% financing. Sorry about that. Letโs get that right. Dannyโs here I eaten this joint. You know that one of the weird things a State Fair came first and you know this how are you by the way great brother do weโre gonna do a sports today weโre gonna do a football. Weโre gonna do a little Kingsville history. Weโre gonna do lamb chops. Weโre gonna do that airline chicken. But this has been an unbelievable thing to witness with Don Mohler and I walked into state fair going on five years ago. Now it was a friendlies. Trying to figure out what a diner was going to be. Evans been on the show 1000 times heโs out fishing today. So youโve been, you know, put into this position at the Beaumont. But between the Beaumont getting open and guapo getting open, and now the new location underneath El Guapo. Thereโs like this total barcade speakeasy thing that I havenโt totally witnessed. I was there during the building stages as I was in here, when this bar was being built. This is really been an incredible thing for Catonsville. And I think you see it and feel it in here in a restaurant that wasnโt open for lunch. This time last year. Thatโs now crushing it for lunch. Iโm witnessing a burger over here. People come in all sorts of people walks. The state fair thing is used its way over to the west side of the ledger. It
Don McCafferty 02:00
absolutely has Esther itโs been a real pleasure to be here and State Fair really started us off and it was our first location really known for its big whiskey list. And that was the place to go first. Our chicken and waffles and shrimp and grits. I mean, the whole list was great. And then open El Guapo which is our Tequila Mexican, Mexican tequila restaurant 300 plus two kilos on the bar there and see see that he had cleared Okay, see. And that thatโs been a big draw for us. Thereโs been a lot of tequila folks out there. Itโs the number one spirit being consumed in the nation right now and that was great for us. And then the bow mountain just seemed seemed like the next logical step. You know casual fine dining great steaks right down the street from truths, great wine list and craft craft cocktails.
Nestor Aparicio 02:44
We stop it all the time. I donโt know that Iโve sat at a table more than once or twice with my back in recent years. Iโm always at the bar. Itโs itโs a limited bars, no TV or distractions. You know if the Oreos are on apple plus or wherever they are, you know, go to the state fair. I grew up Iโve watched soccer watch World Cup. Oh gwap boy, Jane Miller and Rob Roblin join me it oh Guapa Johnny Oh, stop by. I mean, I like all the places but thereโs something about like, dinner for me is here. Breakfast for me is stay fair. Nice. salutely
03:17
Breakfast in town. blogpost
Nestor Aparicio 03:19
a place when you drink bowl game. I watched football watch NFL games in there last year. Like I watched Monday night game watch a Thursday night game and theyโre just sort of off the beat but is he had some tacos and rock a couple today was
03:30
absolutely the TVs and rocket and then downstairs is the newest adventure weโve got going on. As you said earlier. barcade is a great way to describe it.
Nestor Aparicio 03:39
We didnโt know what the hell that was. I mean, Evans I barcade Iโm like once a bar cane so whatโs the bar?
03:44
I mean a barcade imagine you know go back to that. The ad style arcade thanks Stranger Things that meta is Miss Pac Man in there. I miss Pac Man. Well, we have Miss Pac Man on a on a wall. Itโs not the old school original table top where you sit across sit across from each other. Yeah, thatโs an old classic example. We got all the classes and if thereโs a golf simulator, you can go play 18 holes of Gee, weโve got golden tee but itโs an actual full on swing golf simulator. You can go play 18 holes down there. Itโs
Nestor Aparicio 04:12
not top golf. Itโs bottom golf. No, itโs
04:13
bottom. Basement golf and theyโre doing it. Theyโre doing it right. Itโs itโs been a lot of fun. Oh, itโs been open. Weโve been open now. About six weeks down there.
Nestor Aparicio 04:21
See Evan took me and my wife and I it wasnโt open yet. Because it was still like setting stuff up getting the bar together. And every Monday, whenever it says that sometimes itโs Tuesday or Wednesday, but itโs usually not like these places get open that well because he gets these joints there.
04:38
Everyoneโs was eager to get the space opened especially we were kind of sitting on it for a few months during the transition of ownership and
Nestor Aparicio 04:46
was it itโs like a basement underneath of El Guapo itโs crazy. The latest
04:50
business down there was a poster had been there for many years but in in the years has been a bowling alley Iโm told an old movie theater so itโs very big. Why Add space that about 75% of which has been allocated to this bar Kade and the other 25% Itโs not quite open yet but that is going to be our cocktail speakeasy bar so itโs going to be a you know, I was right about the speakeasy true speakeasy where he you know, itโs going to be hidden doors you need to be walked back and craft cocktails very, you know, Swank seating areas, couches, that kind of stuff. Itโs going to be a
Nestor Aparicio 05:22
great upscale part of the Beaumont is that weโre just going to be itโs like the basement of the BOMA, but you have to cross the street
05:28
Yeah. You know, weโll have someone walk you down there and get you in the right area and you go back great place to do dessert finish you know finish with a really stellar cocktail. Itโs gonna be a strong cocktail program down there all you know all classics and Iโll craft coffee Nick
Nestor Aparicio 05:42
made me something here. Iโm have cranked up and itโs
05:46
the mind sour mic.
Nestor Aparicio 05:48
I showed my wife. I sent a picture because we had dinner on your dinner the night. Did you put her on to that mind Saturday on the night we tried to do that because I want me to Cabernet which was delicious. The Zac Brown
05:58
Zac Brown cab is for chicken fry. Right? And, you know so the cocktails we do here really kind of on a whim weโll try and change things up here and there. That that particular drink to me was a twist of a knee works our traditionally made with whiskey. Also helping a friend of ours out whoโs one of our reps.
Nestor Aparicio 06:17
I donโt know that I like whiskey. Iโm going through this and Iโm going to be a drug city on the fourth and George down there unbelievable spirits selection and whiskey selection over there. Bourbon rye, rye, all that stuff. I drink tequila at home. I drink rum on airplanes. Like literally when I fly Iโll have like a Roman diet with some live little Cooper Lee Bray kind of spin. Absolutely. I get off the plane in Vegas and a rock Do you know after three of those going across Kansas 38,000 feet, but like I am much more inclined to drink a beer. Iโm much more inclined to drink red wine and white wine. But I donโt know what the gateway is like, youโre like tequila is the number one like the tequila gateway for me was Julio Bermeo. In May of 1994. When I went to see Joe Smith play out in San Francisco and I wind up with this tequila connoisseur that poured tequila at my wedding. And so I get tequila, like, honestly. But in the last 30 years, itโs sort of caught up and at one point was all vodka, vodka, vodka, vodka.
07:15
Thatโs the 90s 90s Vodka, you know, early 2000s We kind of started this whiskey trend. And then Agave spirits really come quickly after that. But you know, whiskey is is still I think the heart of the American spirit. Right. Thatโs what what most itโs still what most guests are ordering here and, you know, on a regular basis,
Nestor Aparicio 07:33
and to lead people drink whiskey than I do. Well,
07:35
sure. But, you know, weโve got a lot of great whiskies here. We can lead you into, you know, as a gateway. And so, you know, Iโm happy to take you through the bar listed.
Nestor Aparicio 07:43
Daniels with my wife on my 50th birthday, because we played Nashville, Nashville. A couple years is 9018. Thereโs ATMs before the play. And we took a trip down by 30 peopleโs boutique trip. You know, it was just sort of like, hey, itโs my birthday. I donโt want to take 400 people to Nashville. But the day after the game, we did a special bus that took us down to and I drank the Frank Sinatra I drank you know, I went after it all. So you tried all the goods and I actually like on that day really kind of liked it. I think the thing I donโt like is scotch. I think Scotch is like a different level of light. It
08:19
definitely isnโt. Itโs tasty. Like
Nestor Aparicio 08:22
you gotta have a real taste for it. You know, you do
08:24
and itโs got a lot of that smoke inherent to it because of the Scotlandโs full of people. peat bogs. Thatโs the the fuel theyโve got there to cook the bar a lot about this. Yeah, Iโve got a, you know, an encyclopedia of crazy and mixologist, officially, well, officially, Iโd say yes. You know, Iโve got a little bit of chef and a little mixologist, a little bit of accountant, you know, itโs what it takes to run a lineage, lineage.
Nestor Aparicio 08:46
Absolutely. Given your last name yet. McCafferty. Don Mokona on that means something to people here. It does this guy my age. It means your dad in mountain Mount Washington. Absolutely. And steaks and the piano and the cartoons on the wall that I think the beef jerky. I think those cartoons live down at LUNA del C.
09:13
Thereโs a couple a couple of folks auction those off I remember seeing one year a big wall of them years ago in Hunt Valley at the demons ribbon.
Nestor Aparicio 09:22
I remember that I
09:23
looked at the bison Wait a minute I walked over the manager said you want to buy one of these it said no Iโm quite sure you bought it from me actually. And
Nestor Aparicio 09:33
so theyโre iconic. I donโt know the artists name but that artists set up in the cafe
09:37
did he set up a Saturday it was Saturday evenings now this is I was in my early teens so I donโt sit there what are you doing? Theyโre washing dishes bussing tables, whatever dad needed, especially when the Greek
Nestor Aparicio 09:47
audience whoโs of the era of the 90s and that if they had a steak or I had I donโt know that I ever ate it mccaffreyโs for dinner. I always had lunch there. And I had lunch there. 30 times Iโm gonna tell you people I had lunch with there.
10:03
I mean, the lunch menu there were so great. We had my favorite sandwich. I mean, I still with a steak somebody else had the sports when was that shave prime rib with gravy and they had all you know, it was a it was a great place in the hamburger. I still have not had you know, found one thatโs topped it. And you know, luckily I still have the recipe so I can make you know, can make it when I need to. But really, yeah,
Nestor Aparicio 10:22
I got a grill now. Fire that thing up,
10:26
you know, but itโs, it was a great experience for me. Iโve been in the restaurant business my whole life. Be surrounded by Dan from Gilman and bus tables, wash dishes. And thatโs where I got to meet all the greats old. You know, we had the radio show every Monday night with Josh Lewin did the show in your place. We also at Tom met Tom, Maddie and Bruce Laird. Shoot Jeff. And it was great. So Iโd come down and sit out. You know, I always aspired
Nestor Aparicio 10:50
to have a show at your dadโs place, because thatโs where BHEL did their thing. And I was very competitive. But my 25th anniversary is coming up. And Iโve done things Iโm really proud of a few things Iโm ashamed of that Iโll still admit to doing. Because some of them were fun, and some of them were deserved. But when I went on the air, it was December of 9192. April 92. I was on the air five months with Kenny Albert in the ballpark was opening right? Yeah, the Colts were gone long gone. Your familyโs name meant something. Mount Washington was kind of a very calming neighborhood or with a tavern there, right. Like
11:24
this opened up and you had that old deli there had been there for 100 years, but you know,
Nestor Aparicio 11:27
and light rail was just kind of doing right just coming in. So it was the upscale it was before Ruthโs Chris was Ruthโs Chris, but it was after the Chesapeake. Would you say that the Chesapeake closed down. Your dad got some of those customers. Ruthโs Chris in the downtown dining came back, you
11:44
know, back in those days, early 90s. Really, I mean, if you look at old old Baltimore dining, as far as to fight anyone, it was very few and far between of, of of those staples, and we still have the prime rib to Pepys. You know, the old house nerds. These are these are staples back in the 90s. And there wasnโt that many restaurants where you look now Baltimoreโs got a ton of really fabulous restaurants.
Nestor Aparicio 12:05
Weโre almost a foodie town last year with over Cocoโs just to like vet food people can roll around this town and just I roll ready crab cakes, but like I had your lamb chops. You do this corn thing here. Youโre putting specials on, you have this fried lobster tail here. Thatโs among the greatest things that you can get in the city.
12:24
I mean, literally, it really and itโs, itโs funny how easy that thing is, but itโs we just have such a fabulous chef Sharni has the best flour and a chicken fried, like a chicken flour to toss that in. And itโs just the spices are fabulous. And sheโs great. So, yeah, super easy, but itโs amazing. Itโs good quality food done simply but just done right. And whiskey and Whiskey, whiskey and a lot of other things. And I love doing cocktails. And so you did a rum cocktail for me. Sure. You know, we can do whiskey cotton, weโve got gin cocktails. We I mean, I truly love this channel, you know, somebody hit me and I said, Oh, iwrc something else. And Iโm going to try and recreate or, you know, improve upon that. And itโs the itโs the font of the job, right? Every you know,
Nestor Aparicio 13:06
well, Iโll tell you this. I grew up in Dundalk, and not even on crabcakes. But just on dining, right? Iโll see some names that people are coming to concerts and the third or down the drug city. The fourth Graceland in was a place we ate when I was a kid. Cities are places on the east side that were the steak and lobster, crab Crab cakes. Like all of that the place you want to go on your prom date. You know, whatever that would be and whatever your community would be the film are in was over on in the chesco area on an overly area. These were all like places our parents when on a Saturday when they were trying to get smooch the right way with their wife, or going out before they were going to the club Venus in the 70s or whatever. And then like in the 80s and 90s. And I guess I fell into this because Iโm a kid of that era, right? Iโm a kid of the Michael J. Fox era. Oh, the chains, whether it was chi cheese, nobody wants to go to El Guapo. They wanted to go to cheesy cheese. They didnโt want to go to the grace linen. They wanted to go to Outback Steakhouse. You know what I mean? Like the chains Chiliโs, man, I go through all of those. That sort of is I donโt want to say itโs sailed, right? But itโs Applebeeโs is a punch line. Even though you can go there and get a fine burger and get wings and price point like all that you can get at any airport in the world. Chiliโs all that. But thereโs something about Beaumont and state fairs. And as I start to travel and as I donโt Iโm not a foodie, I just I look for places with great food or epi I value anything. I eat i in everything. So it makes it even more fun for me but when I travel, itโs these places that are this size now and tell me are you 80 seats. How many are half that
14:39
youโre 40 I am 4044 with the body full enough weโd count if you count the bar seats here about 52
Nestor Aparicio 14:47
I said 80 And thatโs all wrong. i Yeah, itโs a and I said Ed is gonna be number
14:52
Yeah, and Ed is a small number, but 50s are smaller, even smaller.
Nestor Aparicio 14:56
This scale ability from the and down and change because plenty of places out there I mean my friends and mothers and loonies and these other places that have bigger places that do entertainment do all these things. What this concept is, I donโt say itโs new itโs sort of old right? This is the original dining Iโm gonna have a small boutique store specialty chefs in the kitchen every night Don is at the door every night when heโs not here Bradโs here next year Pete that same people are here and itโs neighborhood and your itโs going to become your favorite place if you love it
15:31
and and really the thing that is that we get such a great opportunity to do here is really showcase our hospitality and really walk in this place I want you to feel like youโre walking into in our living room you know, this is a you know, we want to have a great experience I want everyone to be happy I want and that starts with the staff you know, we hire the best and make sure theyโre doing you know, theyโre doing great, theyโre
Nestor Aparicio 15:51
happy to be here heโs happy she knows after the
15:55
end it goes down and it trickles down from that you make sure youโve got the best purveyors you make sure youโre buying the best quality food and spirits and then at the end of that youโre gonna trickle down to the very best guests experience period and weโre really able to do that on a smaller scale here because you know we know our guests we know them very well first name know their kids names and what they like to drink. So when they walk in the door, itโs not just oh, hi, welcome it you know, itโs Hey, Hey, John. Hey, Stan, you know that welcome. Itโs good to see again. Hereโs your cocktail. Dennis
Nestor Aparicio 16:25
favorite place, Dennis is over Coons, Coons, Baltimore for security now. And he rolls right down rolling and he you know, itโs been a stay for a minute, but he loves coming here for lunch. So I mean, one day, Iโm gonna get him in here for a big fat burger, but heโs over in Greece having a good time.
16:37
Well, you know, you can blame him right.
Nestor Aparicio 16:39
Iโve seen the pictures, you know, water, white tassels, itโs all good. Now McCafferty is here he is managers at the middle
16:47
managers restaurant. Yep. All right, Pooh. Bah. poobah? Yeah, thatโs,
Nestor Aparicio 16:52
well, itโs fairly crabcakes. So weโre gonna get the crabcakes out here and get through all of that, but just the music, itโs state fair. And what Kingsville has become, post COVID. Right, like, destination e musicae. I almost came down two nights ago to see John Pattyโs band. Yeah,
17:07
they were doing great. I walked into that kind of not knowing I said, Oh, look, whoโs here, you know, walked in, had a beer and watch the show.
Nestor Aparicio 17:13
Always wanted to be a big ol guy.
17:17
It was, itโs been real exciting for us. I mean, especially, obviously, as you call it, the plague COVID change this industry. It turned it up on its head. And we all had to find ways of, you know, figuring out how to make it work for us and come out of this with our own identity and figuring out where we are. And State Fair really, really knocked at home with this live music during COVID. We were delivering food for outdoors. And then having that big tent put outside. So everyone can sit out there socially distance. And then we just start with
Nestor Aparicio 17:52
Ariad it became like most small places these well oiled machines. Yeah, from kitchen to door.
17:59
To door, 15 minutes later, you come in, youโve got a bag of food, wait, thatโs a
Nestor Aparicio 18:03
beautiful American story and places that have remained open. And thatโs most of my restaurants, right? But there was a period there for everybody that thereโs a book in it for every man, every business, Iโve been in
18:13
this industry for my entire life. And it really changed that change that day. And you know, what does that March 3 March 13. That was that was the day that you know, the restaurant business? Well, no, it died. And we all had to kind of really jump back up and figure out how to get back out there. Because itโs such an important part of social living, right? And we wanted to go out once a go, you know, have a drink. So what made form they want to clean up? These are all important things, but how do you do that safely? And how do you do that? Well, you know, in keeping with with times, and itโs been a challenge for sure. But itโs a fun challenge.
Nestor Aparicio 18:48
No, absolutely, man. You know, for me getting out and talking about these stories and places that are open places that are thriving, communities that are thriving and what weโre trying to do for Baltimore, general sense, you know, I was a Cocoโs and larva last week and families downtown two weeks ago and weโre trying to get it all together the food community and that the part of the crab cake and the crab the crab was on the menu or your dadโs place 30 years ago, and itโs and itโs sort of you had when I was in here an hour ago eating my airline chicken youโre talking about an oyster event. Yeah, youโre having here that we have the bay and itโs such a unique and when I say unique, it is unique to us. It
19:25
truly is and you know that that oyster venues speaker weโre just gonna be partying with the worst recovery partnership and you know, theyโre like I told you earlier, probably my my favorite nonprofit and state of Marin, what do you love about them? Well, their job is to restore, you know, the body of water that put us on the map that itโs our lifeline. Itโs our lifeblood, itโs our and what they do is they take you know, these old oyster shells and they repurpose them they replant baby oysters on them and and put them out in strategic locations around the
Nestor Aparicio 19:52
oysters oxygenate the crabs and thatโs it. Oysters no crab, crab
19:56
and adult oyster filters. 50 gallons of water a day. Thatโs a lot of water, you know to get filtered Imagine having a bag of 200 of those guys, right strategically placed throughout the harbor. And thatโs their job and thatโs what they do. So restaurants like us, when we serve are always tours are served cooked, we save those shells and we have bins that we saved the shells in, they take come pick the shells, and Iโve
Nestor Aparicio 20:18
seen down Hooperโs Island, theyโre all piled on me and they hide out in front of old store,
20:21
you know, four or five stories of oyster shells baking in the sun. Then they can inoculate them with new new babies, and itโs pretty impressive. Pretty impressive system and I gotta
Nestor Aparicio 20:31
do I gotta get Iโm gonna do oysters my 25th I mean, let me get one thing, you know, I mean, trying to figure out ravens season an actual Oriole pennant race.
20:39
I mean, listen, listen.
Nestor Aparicio 20:41
Good. Weโre gonna my 25th anniversary of football season coming baseball season, itโs real, all these things happening, but I am committed to doing something oystering in the fall, I just havenโt had enough bandwidth. I wanted to do 25 in 25 days in September, Iโm gonna wait it out because like what I wanted I think I can eat oysters 25 different ways Oh, absolutely in 25 days like beyond raw or with this or with that topping but like how theyโd be charbroiled how you would always Rockefeller, how you would add a bacon spinach of butter. I
21:14
mean, our million different ways of doing itโs a beautiful, beautiful thing for a kitchen to work with. Thereโs so many different options. Itโs a pretty much a blank slate, you know, and then itโs laid upon who the chefโs making. Itโs really itโs a really one
Nestor Aparicio 21:27
fried oyster. I donโt see in my life but like Iโve never ordered it in a restaurant because Iโm always more interested in the fried shrimp or the fried chicken or the scallops or thereโs itโs just was further down than it is and my list
21:40
oysters are are inherently a Baltimore food and you know like I said earlier that the oyster canning business put this the city of Baltimore on the map and that that was the first industry in this great city and that thatโs why theyโre so important to to our lifestyle and who you know who we are.
Nestor Aparicio 21:59
Iโm glad I invited you on the show. I knew you werenโt not see I thought weโre just gonna talk with football. We can talk football to talk football. shots coming over she when she gets here weโll break Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Weโre Catonsville work the BOMA. What would you tell people the Beaumont is as the General Manager of Beaumont.
22:15
Weโre in a great casual fine dining restaurant that we focus strongly on steaks, great cocktails, great wines, and just having fun.
Nestor Aparicio 22:23
And the signs right outside the door your argument I could put it on. So all you need to know is right out there at Beaumont. Weโre right here on Frederick road. Heโs Donnie. And so explain the lineage of your family and your I think youโre younger than me. Iโm 50 No, I
22:39
Yeah, youโve gotten quite a few years so you
Nestor Aparicio 22:41
are not on the planet when your grandfather won the Super Bowl.
22:44
Oh, no, unfortunately, I was not born yet and he had passed before I was born before I was born. And you know our so
Nestor Aparicio 22:53
your grandfather is to you what he is to me, which is just now it was on the planet at the same time. But just a legend, a
23:01
legend. You know, Iโm named after my grandfather. Iโm Donald William McCaffrey. The second you know, since I was born, you know, after he passed, I took that that suffix to the second but I really, I grew up my grandmother, his wife, June McCafferty, was probably the biggest sports nut you could ever imagine. She knew more about the Orioles baseball players on the field than any when you were kid in the 80s 90 till the day she died, knew more about the sports teams in Baltimore than any pro analyst on the planet. Right? This woman knew sports. She was a model that my grandfather married when she was in her early 20s. And he was coaching. And you know, he was the head coach of the Baltimore Colts Old, old easyrider and I got to grow up sitting on Johnny used knee and already dominance knee hearing the Old Glory Days stories and, you know, holding them in your dadโs restaurant, you know that we did the radio show and Iโd sit there and hanging out the guys and you know, hearing stories about my grandfather and hearing all this stuff. And I tell you, you know, thatโs the craziest thing is all my whole childhood I grew up seeing still frame photos, my grandfather hearing stories about him. And it wasnโt until the Ravens made it to the Superbowl, or the week before the Super Bowl in 2000. I was at home, scrolling through direct TV and just going down the channels and having to land on the NFL Network. And it was a replay of the Super Bowl five New York Jets versus you know, or the Dallas Cowboys versus the Colts and that was the first time I saw my grandfather walking in, you know up and down the field in motion and it was really a treat. How old were you transcended I was 18 Alright, 18 and I had never fished out video or now you know back then it was there was few and far between right we didnโt have much yeah, like well YouTube maybe just been coming, you know, up and coming around. 99 2000 right, which dad
Nestor Aparicio 24:50
never pulled. You said hereโs videos grant.
24:52
I sat I saw a lot of
Nestor Aparicio 24:55
pictures and stuff. So I brought some stuff. So I have this Part of my catalog here this is a, this is John Steadman book the Baltimore Colts Pictorial History so I donโt know that heโs in this but Iโm sure heโs in this.
