When owner Harold Xeconimos took over Sorrento of Arbutus during 2020 and the lockdown period, he knew he wanted to elevate the menu yet keep all of its neighborhood glory and charm with the pizza and cheesesteak subs that always delivered. On his first visit to Arbutus on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour, Nestor gets the tale of another Dundalk native coming from Loafers on Route 40 and continuing the great tradition of the food and hospitality in Southwest Baltimore.

With Kyle Bradish going eight strong innings in Anaheim on Monday night, Luke Jones and Nestor wonder if this surge can continue given his arm issues and innings restrictions.

It was a late night weekend of baseball from Chavez Ravine with results impressive enough to make Luke Jones and Nestor think about what might be. Or maybe not?

Our friend, sponsor and consigliere Bill Cole of Cole Roofing considers the Sorrento of Arbutus cheesesteak and crinkle cut fries a legitimate food group in his locally-based business so when Nestor got the invite to do the Maryland Crab Cake Tour near his Worldwide HQ in Southwest Baltimore, this one got tasty and spicy.
