In Moveable Feast with Fine Cooking season 4 episode 5, we head to Baltimore, Maryland to explore the city's thriving food scene. Host Curtis Stone is joined by two of Baltimore's most famous chefs, Duff Goldman and Bryan Voltaggio, as they tour the city and gather ingredients for a delicious feast.
First, the group heads to the Baltimore Farmers' Market, which is the oldest continuously operating farmers' market in the country. The market is packed with vendors selling fresh produce, meats, and baked goods. Curtis, Duff, and Bryan pick out a variety of ingredients for their meal, including heirloom tomatoes, mushrooms, peaches, eggs, and chicken.
Next, the group visits a local oyster farm, where they suit up in waders and head out into the Chesapeake Bay to gather fresh oysters. The oysters are shucked on the spot and enjoyed raw with a bit of lemon juice.
For the main course, the chefs head to a local farm where they pick fresh herbs and gather chicken eggs. They also visit a smokehouse where they learn about the process of smoking meat and pick up some delicious smoked pork.
Back in the kitchen, Duff and Bryan get to work creating a delicious feast for their guests. They prepare a grilled octopus dish with a salad of fresh tomatoes and herbs, followed by an egg dish with a mushroom ragout and served with fresh bread from a local bakery. For the main course, they prepare a smoked pork chop with peach salsa and grilled zucchini.
As the chefs cook, Curtis chats with them about their backgrounds and inspirations. Duff, who is best known for his elaborate cake creations, talks about his love of baking and how he got his start in the culinary world. Bryan, who has competed on Top Chef and runs several restaurants in Maryland and Washington, D.C., discusses his philosophy on cooking and what motivates him to create unique dishes.
Finally, it's time for the feast. The chefs plate their dishes and sit down with their guests to enjoy the fruits of their labor. The octopus dish is a hit, with its perfectly charred flavor and bright tomato salad. The egg dish is rich and comforting, and the smoked pork chop is perfectly cooked and beautifully paired with the fresh peach salsa. The meal is a true celebration of the flavors of Baltimore and the Chesapeake Bay.
