Also an order of waffle fry nachos (waffle fries, black beans, chili, gran queso, avocado, spicy crème fraiche, jalapeños, and grape tomatoes).
Where: Abbey Burger Bistro (1041 Marshall Street – map)
How Much: $32.33 (didn’t charge for the avocado, sprouts or sweet fries on the ostrich burger)

Synopsis: This place has quickly become well-known as Baltimore’s best gourmet burger joint, and the quality is amazingly consistent. (The beer menu is just as impressive.) A bison burger with cheddar and bacon is my usual; getting the avocado instead of grilled onions yielded yummy but slippery results. Anna decided to try the ostrich burger which the waitress strongly suggested should be cooked no more than “medium” for best results; it had a somewhat earthy taste but was decent, and more closely resembled beef than poultry. The waffle fry nachos are always a big winner.
