Recently, I was fortunate to be a guest at the 5th Anniversary bash for Tony Foreman and Cindy Wolf’s Baltimore restaurant PAZO. One of my favorite restaurants in Baltimore, PAZO ranks high on my list not just for the great food, but also for the beauty of the space. Designed by Patrick Sutton, whose residential work we’ve featured, the decor of PAZO capitalizes on what Baltimore has to offer: large industrial and light industrial buildings that once took advantage of the easy shipping chanel provided by the port. Although Baltimore’s days as an industrial powerhouse are history, places like PAZO remind guests of that time, and Sutton’s graceful blending of industry and elegance are big part PAZO’s continued success.
Foreman and Wolf’s understanding that environment and food must complement each other is evident in all of their restaurants and certainly was on display as they welcomed guests to celebrate five years. Adding to the already stunning atmosphere, a troupe of clowns, stilt walkers, jugglers, dancers, and acrobats were on hand to keep spirits high. In addition to passed plates featuring Chef Costa’s creations, the night’s menu included a towering cake by Charm City Cakes of the Food Network’s Ace of Cakes fame. Having watched the show from time to time for years, I was excited to learn first hand that their cakes don’t just look good, they are also delicious. Seems Duff and his crew understand what Foreman and Wolf do–make it look good, make it taste good, and you’ve got a recipe for success.
