When did grocery stores become as homogenized and disinfected as hospitals? Granted, we like our produce clean and our meat not rancid, but on occasion we prefer the actual shopping experience to have as much flavor as the foods we buy. Baltimore's long history of public markets perseveres, providing just such an experience. Besides, where else will you share oysters with a Vietnam vet or watch a mako shark get sliced and diced? Not on the Food Network, friend. That's the sort of character you'll only find at these Baltimore markets.
