We had about 8 people attending.

Some restaurants and other spots discussed and enjoyed by one or more members :

-Tigi’s Ethiopian Restaurant 8459 Balt-Natl Pike Ellicott City.  Interesting food: injera the flatbread with a spongy texture upon which food is served in place of using plates.  One tears off a piece of the bread and uses it to scoop and eat the food placed upon it.  Fun and delicious.  http://www.tigisethiopianrestaurant.com/

C&B Italian Deli – same strip mall as Tigi’s.  Good deli.  They have mortadella which can sometimes be hard to find.
