I have been going to Cafe Hon for years, however due to a recent family illness I have been away from Baltimore for several months. Upon Returning to Baltimore, I was looking forward to going to ""the Hon"" to enjoy some great food. To my suprise, the Hon had a few tricks up their sleeves. Known for its home style cooking. I was impressed to see a new Specialty Salad selection that had over 8 Gourmet Salads and several new items added to the regular menu including a sandwich called the BIG BAY CLUB which is a non traditional club sandwich changing out the ham and turkey for crabcake and shrimp salad.\r
\r
There were so many new things to try, I couldnt decide on just one. Luckly I was with friends and we all decided to order and share everything. I ordered the BIG BAY CLUB and was very happy to see the extra large Sandwhich that was presented to me. The Hon may have created a new classic here. The blending of crabcake, bacon and shrip salad was incerdible. \r

Among the Favorites of my friends.. the Southern Belle Salad with its lemon poppyseed dressing, House made fried chicken tenders. cranberries and toasted almonds was a winner. We also sampled one of the weekly blue plate specials the Roasted Half Chicken. I have always loved this Hon Classic and I was glad to see that they had not changed the preperation while I was away.\r
\r
As usual for the HON, my Service was fantastic and our table was checked on by not only our waitress, but also by the Manager, who just wanted to make sure we were enjoying our meal.\r
\r
All and all, my return to the HON after several months was a suprise and I really enjoyed that. Im actually planning on stoping in quite a bit more to try all of the new items.
Pros: great new menu items
Cons: not living in Hampden
