Reply to comment by DfcukinLite in Plan the worst all-time date in Baltimore. by DfcukinLite

Not everyone that appreciates what Atlas has brought to the relatively shitty Baltimore restaurant scene is a “shill” - we suck next to DC or many other major cities when it come to good food options…. We’d rarely dine downtown if it weren’t for Atlas. Stop hating on folks willing to pour money into our dying and (sadly) dangerous city. Embrace ANYONE willing to invest!

Tf? There are a thousand amazing restaurants in baltimore... they're just not downtown because why would they be? The only people going downtown are tourists and they get the tourists spots, like Atlas.

You sound pleasant. “Someone eats somewhere I don’t like - they should go fuck themselves.” Plenty more thing in Baltimore to be mad about other than a rich guy opening restaurants.

People like you that hate and resent anyone with wealth are half the problem with this city. Money = Evil. But crime and drugs and poverty are fine and moral. Ok.

That’s a not what anyone said homey. You posited that we should be thankful to Atlas Restaurant Group; I’m informing you that no, dipshit, we’re fine otherwise.

If you want to cape for people who can win a rigged system that’s your business; those that know, know if you dig an inch into any story, you will find the networks of privilege.

Again, not unique to Atlas. Our city is poor and crime ridden and I want to see as much investment as possible - especially in the downtown harbor area. We aren’t going to survive without tourist dollars and investment in dining (and real estate, and schools). There are plenty of wealthy privileged folks around that have chosen NOT to spend their inherited millions on Baltimore. I’m happy to have anyone spend money in Baltimore. The negativity around wealth in this town is obnoxious. I’ll take investment in a bunch of differently themed restaurants than investment in casinos and casino restaurants downtown any day. That said, glad we have the casino money too- I’m not gonna hate on the wealthy casino owners (or sports team owners) either. Baltimore needs it. We are not “fine otherwise” - we need to fix a lot in Baltimore and it’s going to take money.

If you think Atlas is doing anything for the food scene in Baltimore, your soul is beyond redemption. But hey, at least you'll get to shake the owners' hands in hell?

Oh, my bad… all the restaurants In Baltimore are run by fine outstanding people, and only atlas is evil, so off to hell I go for eating at some of their restaurants.
