Together, they've combined names-but not cooking styles-in a restaurant concept that borrows heavily from Sanchez' Mexican heritage.īecause we were going to eat at two more restaurants, we started light at Johnny Sanchez. Sanchez, son of famed Mexican food authority Zarela Martinez, is probably best-known for his appearances on various Food Network shows, like Chopped and Chefs vs City (he battled Gypsy Queen food truck owners Annmarie Langton and Tom Looney in one episode) he's also a restaurateur. Besh is a James Beard Award winner and owner of several New Orleans restaurants including August and Luke. We started at Johnny Sanchez, a joint effort by chefs and old friends John Besh and Aaron Sanchez. I was able to sample items from these three during a media tasting last month. There are also three larger restaurants, Johnny Sanchez, Guy's Baltimore Kitchen & Bar, and Jack Binion's Steak. Upstairs, Ruby 8 Noodles and Sushi features flavors from China, Vietnam, and Korea. In the Baltimore Marketplace area of the casino you'll find Heavy Seas Burgers, Tark’s at the ‘Shoe, Lenny’s Deli, The Mallow Bar, and Piezzetta (a Mama Ilardo's concept).

Several of the Horseshoe's restaurants have local roots. The Horseshoe Baltimore, on Russell Street, offers the usual iniquitous pursuits-slots, poker, craps-but even if you're not a gambler, you may want to stop in for the food. In August, Maryland's newest casino opened a bit south of the Ravens' ballpark, bringing several new dining establishments to an area not exactly teeming with good places to eat.
