How much wine does it take to turn your teeth purple?
If you like wine but aren’t sure how to pick a good glass, your experience at The Purple Tooth might go a bit like this:
Customer: Hi, can you help me pick a good wine? I’m just going to be sitting here with a few friends, probably not eating, just want a good wine to drink [...]
New Whole Foods Opened Yesterday
The new Whole Foods in Annapolis Towne Centre at Parole opened yesterday to much fanfare.
The 56,000 square foot store is the largest on the East Coast. Original plans called for it to be an even bigger 70,000 SF before they were scaled back.
At 10 AM, when the store opened, 400 shoppers were ready with their [...]
KFC at 1972 West Street, Annapolis Gets a Big Thumbs Down
A friend and I decided to take Oprah up on her offer. We headed out to KFC at 1972 West Street in Annapolis, MD. Even walked in the rain — only 3/4 of a mile, but it was raining.
We get there and a woman in front of us is redeeming a coupon for a free [...]

Today, I just had to step out and enjoy the awesome spring weather we’re having, and I walked down to Punk’s Backyard Grill, which just opened at the Annapolis mall. Punk’s is a brand new restaurant, the first of its kind, and according to the web site, they hope to expand around the area and [...]
DOA: Bill Requiring Nutritional Information on Maryland Chain Restaurant Menus
A bill in the general assembly that would have required chain restaurants in Maryland to print nutritional information on their menus was withdrawn yesterday.
I am happy it was. A bill like that is too “big government” for my personal tastes (no pun intended). When going out to eat, one should just assume that the food [...]
Annapolis Gem: Chris’s Charcoal Pit
Every city has a few restaurants that are local landmarks. In Annapolis, one such restaurant is Chris’s Charcoal Pit located at 1946 West Street (map below).
It is also one of those places that have not changed much over the years, making it even greater. My dining companion was telling stories about how his parents always [...]
Run on Coke
If you love Coca-Cola products, then you love the sale going on at Shoppers Food Warehouse (Forest Dr. between Solomons and Old Solomons) — 48 cans for $10. That works out to 48 cents a can. A great deal!
While at Shoppers earlier I noticed that all of Annapolis must be on a Coke [...]
