Catonsville to welcome restaurant serving American cuisine
The former Friendly's space has been vacant since 2017, and rumors have been flying as to what sort of eatery will move in. Now, all has been revealed.
Guesses have included Five Guys and Greene Turtle, but it has recently been confirmed that Evan Brown and his chef and business partner, Keith Holsey, who own Ellicott City's Portalli's, will be the ones opening a new restaurant. Their concept is American cuisine, and the place promises to be a mid-to-upscale dining experience.
Although the business partners are determined to have their new restaurant open within 90 days, almost everything else is fluid. They are still working on the concept, though they have determined they will serve dishes that blend modern and classic American cuisine. The restaurant's bar will offer whiskeys, bourbons, and local craft beers, as well as craft cocktails, Brown said. He also said they will use local ingredients and sources in their dishes, and are planning a modern, clean style of décor, though no details have been decided. They still have to determine their operating hours and the exact opening date, as well.
The new restaurant does not even have a name, and Brown says trying to decide what to call the place is becoming something of an obsession. He says he might ask the residents of Catonsville to vote on a name if he and Holsey do not figure something out soon.
Businesses like this can use promotional products to welcome customers and build their brand.
