Dine at Gertrude's
John Shields—nationally acclaimed cookbook author, chef, and host of his own syndicated cooking program—brings his signature Chesapeake Bay cuisine to the BMA with his restaurant Gertrude's. Along with the popular Sunday Brunch (now also on Saturdays), Gertrude's tasty events are a great way to treat your friends and family.
Krautfest 2009!
A New Baltimore Tradition
Growing in popularity every year, Krautfest is now a two-night affair. On Friday, January 9, and Saturday, January 10, Gertrude’s celebrates the release of its homemade sauerkraut with a big party! Featuring dancing and live polka music with the acclaimed band “Joy of Maryland,” the evening includes a full buffet and a cash bar offering “Krautinis,” seasonal German beers, and specialty vodkas.
Tickets are $30 per person in advance, or $35 at the door. Last year Kraufest sold out a week in advance, so don’t delay. Tickets are available for purchase in the restaurant, or by phone at 410-889-3399.

Saturday, February 14
Gertrude’s will celebrate Valentine’s Day with its annual Valentine Aphrodisiac Dinner. Choose either a three- or four-course prix fixe menu, both full of romantic ingredients.
