Food Friday: The Chameleon Cafe
It’s hard to resist telling people about the Chameleon. Sometimes you want to protect your secret favorite place so you can still get a table and sometimes you want to help owners Jeff and Brenda get all the success they so richly deserve. At the risk of losing a seat, you simply have to try The Chameleon Cafe. The number of 4 and 5 star reviews the Chameleon has received should tell you this is no fluke. After 10 years in Baltimore, they’re still gaining more raves – a rarity in the restaurant world of next-big-things and this-weeks-trend-style. They also now offer a Prix Fixe Menu Tuesday-Thursday. What do they do? They serve seasonal, local foods with a French-inspiration in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. What does that mean? It means you get amazing dishes sourced from local farms and fisherman such as “spring vegetable fritto misto/ ramp aioli, red pepper relish” or “duck confit/ farro and olive salad, pickled cherry jus” or “grilled soft shell crab/ spring pea flan, bacon marmalade”… Did we mention the knowledgable staff and well-paired wine list? Never mind, forget we told you about it – stay away, it’s OURS!
