Waverly Market for Urbanite (originally from 7/17/07)

This weekend I worked on a story for Urbanite Magazine and travelled with writer Mary Zajac and chef Spike Gjerde (along with Spike’s kids) to the Waverly market in Baltimore. The Waverly market is insane, everything from produce to meat, ice cream and even a 50 pound block of shea butter.  Following the market trip we went to Spike’s home and he and his wife Amy (also a chef) prepared numerous dishes.  There was a marinated skirt steak, corn soup with hot peppers, a cucumber, tomato and miso salad, roasted potatoes, green beans and of course a dessert.  Look for the story in the September issue.  BTW, Spike is in the process of opening a new restaurant called Woodberry Kitchen.
