Baltimore is known as a city of neighborhoods and within those neighborhoods are plenty of unique dining options. Food blogger, Simone Phillips, better known as Charm City Table is one of the area's most recognizable “foodies” who highlights cuisine from breakfast, lunch, fast-casual to fine dining, and everything in between. She joins 2 Bmore to discuss how she got started and how much of a food town Baltimore really is.
T.J. Smith is a retired police commander, former chief spokesman for the Baltimore Police Department, former press secretary for the Baltimore County Executive, and a former Baltimore City mayoral candidate. More recently, Smith partnered with Jimmy’s Famous Fund where he assisted in raising more than $600,000 over the past year that was donated to small restaurants in Baltimore, children for a holiday experience, and the families of a police officer and firefighters killed in the line of duty. In addition to hosting the 2Bmore Podcast, Smith consults on government, leadership, and law enforcement issues. He is also a frequent guest on a national news outlet and TV One network programming.
Simone Phillips started Charm City Table as an “Instagram blog” in spring of 2017 sharing all of the best eats and drinks Baltimore had to offer. Four years later it has grown into a small business and well-known local brand continuing to promote restaurants and other local food concepts while serving as a resource to local business owners, diversifying food conversations in the Baltimore/DC area, and creating campaigns to elevate voices in the local food scene that are typically excluded from the local buzz in larger media outlets (black owned restaurants, Baltimore gems, historic foodways).
