My plan to roll out high-quality content in 2020 got off to an inauspicious start when I decided to make “Barbecued Hot Dogs.” It’s not that the dish wasn’t great- it is hot dogs after all – but January isn’t exactly a time when people have frankfurters on the mind, nor is there much of a sheen of “Marylandness” to hot dogs. Nevertheless, I had the main ingredient in the freezer, nearing the end of its useful life.
At any rate, the source cookbook, “Queen Anne Goes to the Kitchen,” is itself a Maryland classic. Both the 1962 original and the 1993 update are chock full of recipes from Centreville-area cooks whose Eastern Shore roots run deep.
