Slurp and Savour



That Friday evening news dump that has tongues wagging is, of course, the opening of El Gran Sabor in Oakland Mills. I should say “at long last” since we’ve been waiting since November of 2022. 



You can check out their menu here. I can’t see days/hours of operation but I will add them in when I find them.



In other Oakland Mills-centric news, Althea Hanson of Althea’s Almost Famous has been nominated for Chef of the Year by the Restaurant Association of Maryland. Voting begin January 29th.



I’ll post a link when voting goes live. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of sampling Ms. Hanson’s delicious Jamaican cuisine, I hope you’ll cast a vote in support! If you haven’t, come by her food truck in Oakland Mills sometime soon. Right now she’s there on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from twelve noon until six pm.

Next up, the only thing about the Super Bowl that I will be celebrating: The Common Kitchen is hosting a Souper Bowl Weekend.


Three days only. Eleven international soups. Eat soup, win prizes!

Readers of this blog know my deep love of soup as well as my fantasies that Columbia/HoCo will someday have a magical soup company. I will be indulging in that fantasy at the Common Kitchen next weekend. I wonder what kind of prizes they will be awarding?

I’ve been hearing a lot of buzz about the new pizza place at the Mall. Have you tried it? Or are there any other new places you’d like to recommend? Let me know.
