A Review Of Bel Air's Newest: Stone's Cove Kitbar
dogoodthings

It’s just a normal day driving though Bel Air: the birds are chirping, soccer moms in mini vans are out running errands, and traffic is backed up all up and down Baltimore Pike. While you’re sitting bumper-to-bumper, your eyes start to wander, and they notice something that you’ve never seen before. You’re probably thinking, “What’s that big wooden tower-like sign in the complex where Chili’s is”. Well, that sign is the home to Bel Air’s newest restaurant, Stone’s Cove Kitbar, and if the sign wasn’t attention-grabbing enough, then the concept and the food will for sure win you over.

So you’re probably thinking, what the heck is a Kitbar? But it’s exactly what it sounds like: a kitchen and a bar combined. As you walk through the revolving door, you are immediately drawn to a kitchen centered in the middle of a large communal table, bringing everyone closer together in a dinner party-like atmosphere. According to Stone’s Cove’s website, the theory behind this concept is to put guests in the center of the action, which makes your visit more interactive and inviting. Of course, there are tables and booths set apart from the bar too, making it the perfect place to celebrate any occasion with a large group of people.

Now the most important part: the food. The very first thing that you’ll notice about the Stone’s Cove’s menus is that they’re on the smaller side, making choices more narrow but great nonetheless. Right smack dab in the middle of the kitchen, you’ll find the giant wood stone oven, making for a comfortable atmosphere (and some really great food). According to their website, the dishes served can be described as “classic American with a contemporary twist”, but more simply put, Stone’s Cove food is unlike any other.

Start off with an Appetapa, a mix between a traditional appetizer and a Spanish classic. You could go with something well-known and common like Hot & Cold Dip, a spinach dip served with a “cool quartet” of toppers and crackers, or something a little different like Lobster Cones. They consist of lobster salad stuffed with guacamole inside of a cone, making it look like a mini ice cream cone! The great and different thing about Stone’s Cove is that you can go out of your comfort zone or stay within without ever changing restaurants. Next step is your entrée, and there are plenty to choose from. From a classic Cobb Salad, to Buffalo Chicken Flatbread, to Shrimp & Grits, there is quite literally something for everybody. Finish off with a S’mores Flatbread or seasonal Drunken Strawberry Sliders to complete your experience.

Another great aspect to Stone’s Cove is that it serves… wait for it… BRUNCH! What other restaurant in Bel Air can you count on to serve you Breakfast Tacos or a Breakfast Burger with a mimosa!? Brunch will be served starting Saturday, July 2nd and will continue every Saturday and Sunday from 11-2. This is one reason why Stone’s Cove fits perfectly into Bel Air. The other reason can be explained by their philanthropy. Every Sunday, 10% of sales go to a locally partnered charity or the do good things Foundation. In addition, 10% of the annual profits benefit the Foundation. Why not dine at a restaurant “where your good times do good things”.

When you walk into Stone’s Cove, you never know what will come out of your dining experience. Between their seasonal menu and comforting atmosphere, you may come home with your new favorite food or even a new friend. So, next time you and your significant other can’t decide where to go to lunch, stop by the big wooden tower-like sign restaurant. I promise you’ll never question where to go out to eat ever again.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
