Hobos Restaurant + Bar
(Editors, Downstate)
Gretchen Hanson, executive chef of Hobos Restaurant + Bar, describes her culinary style as global eco-fusion. We call it healthy, local and delicious. Hanson’s dishes may be influenced by cuisines from around the world, but the ingredients are definitely local. That means the menu can change from day to day. A sample dish: rockfish bites with 16 Mile Honey Oyster Stout reduction and soybean panko zaatar on a bed of arugula tossed with Chesapeake crab tzatziki. Hanson teaches classes on plant-based cooking, eating and wellness, so you know she’s serious.
