Woodberry Kitchen is a New American[1] restaurant in Baltimore's Woodberry neighborhood. In 2015, Woodberry Kitchen's founder, Spike Gjerde, won the James Beard Award for “Best Chef: Mid-Atlantic,” making him Baltimore’s only James Beard Award winner.[2]

Restaurant

[edit]

In October 2007, Spike and Amy Gjerde opened Woodberry Kitchen in a repurposed 19th century industrial park.[3][4] The restaurant was designed by Charles Patterson of SM+P Architects. [5]

On the heels of the 2015 James Beard Award, Tom Sietsema of The Washington Post described Woodberry Kitchen as, “the perfect Mid-Atlantic restaurant”, adding, “… Gjerde's food reminds me what a great pantry he has in his backyard. I always think of Woodberry Kitchen as the Chez Panisse of our region.”[6]

Sourcing practices

[edit]

Woodberry Kitchen is often noted for its commitment to sourcing locally.[7] It is estimated that restaurant has returned over $2 million to Mid-Atlantic farmers and winemakers. Chef Bryan Voltaggio describes Gjerde as a figurehead in the effort to revitalize an agricultural region in jeopardy.[8]

David Hagedorn of The Washington Post notes that the menu lists the, "40-plus growers, Maryland and Pennsylvania cheesemakers and local, sustainable fish and shellfish purveyors," whose raw ingredients are utilized each night.[3]

Awards and accolades

[edit]

The Washington Post awarded Woodberry Kitchen 3 stars in their 2015 Fall Dining Guide.[9]

Woodberry Kitchen was included on Washingtonian Magazine's 100 Very Best Restaurants in 2014, 2015 and 2016.[10][11][12]

Baltimore Magazine has included Woodberry Kitchen on their list of Baltimore's 50 Best Restaurants every year since 2010.[13][14][15][16][17][18][19]

Wine Enthusiast Magazine listed Woodberry Kitchen as one of America's Best Wine Restaurants of 2016[20]

In 2013, Spike and Amy Gjerde were recipients of Martha Stewart's "American Made" award honoring "those who inspire us with their beautiful goods, quality craftsmanship, and innovative ideas."[21][22]

Woodberry Pantry

[edit]

Every year, Woodberry Kitchen preserves thousands of pounds of produce for use when locally grown options diminish.[23] This comprehensive preservation program allows Chef Gjerde and the Woodberry Kitchen team to source locally year-round.[7] Snake Oil, a hot sauce made with heirloom fish peppers, was originally processed and bottled at Woodberry Kitchen and is currently sold at retailers in Maryland and Washington D.C.[24][8]
