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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
