Fine Dining in Frederick: The Tasting Room

Effortless Elegance

I'm from Frederick, MD. I became passionate about food in Frederick, MD. I started working in restaurants in Frederick, MD. Frederick, MD is now a food destination thanks to a few key players. Since I can remember, Tauraso's was THE fine dining establishment in Frederick. It was the place you went if you really wanted to SPLURGE. Tauraso's has since closed, but the owners operate a beautiful restaurant downtown called The Tasting Room, exuding the same elegance for special occasions. They also own the best BBQ joint in Frederick, Black Hog.

Here's how it all went down...
