Luke and I took a quick road trip to Baltimore yesterday. We only had time for a couple things so we stopped at Woodberry Kitchen before hitting up the Aquarium. It was so lovely there. Everything was so fresh and delicious. Thanks @gabriellasteindl & @mattsteindl for the recommendation! https://www.instagram.com/p/BnQ3RpPhooZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1g61qycafsp9i
