OTTERBEIN
COOKIES
We love our cookies here. The
family-run Otterbein bakery has
been producing beloved local cookies
for more than a century — and
nowadays, they make more than a
million a year, packing them into their
signature red-and-white paper bags.
The sugar cookie is the original, and
it’s a bona fide local holiday tradition.
But lemon, chocolate chip, ginger,
oatmeal raisin and orange whitechocolate
chip are also popular, no
matter the season.

PIT BEEF
Often called Maryland’s answer to barbecue — though it has little in common
with actual barbecue — Baltimore pit beef is usually made as a round roast
that’s cooked over coals in an open pit, then sliced thin and piled high atop a
Kaiser roll or white bread. It’s slathered in either horseradish sauce and rings
of white onion or, sometimes, a tomato-based barbecue sauce.
