Not all waiting is rewarded. How long did we wait for Elevation Burger to open, only to find out that what we had built in our mind was not what they took months and months to build on Aliceanna Street. It would be forgivable that they are not the oasis of hamburger ecstasy we had all hoped for if it weren’t for their pretensions to be so… and their terribly slow service. Better burgers can be had within a block, better fries within a block, better ice cream within a block. And, unpardonably, they do not even offer a turkey burger.
Harbor East’s greatest shame is its lack of decent breakfast options. Microwaved breakfast sandwiches at Starbucks? Lame, unchanging breakfast options at Whole Foods’ hot bar? Hello Whole Foods! Do you have a corporate policy against bacon? Me Moms makes a decent breakfast sandwich, but it’s a slow process there, so they can’t be the answer for all of us. Please Taco Fiesta, if we promise to come by later to drink Modelo Especial, can we please have some Huevos Rancheros?
But yet nearly as bad is the lack of a Chinese restaurant down here. Yes, we can walk all the way to Fells Point, but it’s getting hot out and sticky, too. Or we can go to the Cheesecake Factory of Chinese Food, P.F. Changs and watch their incredibly riveting table-side mixing of the condiments. Dinner and a show. Fabulous, makes me forget that the entrée I’m paying $20 for I could get for $8 and enjoy more at Happy Imperial Emerald Garden.
