The Fitness Doc

Our family was hanging out at Centennial Park when we decided to see what was around to eat. We saw that The Food Shoppe offered Creole dishes at a reasonable price so we decided to check them out! Upon entering the staff is very friendly and welcoming. We took our time ordering from the menu and she was patient. We ordered shrimp and grits, shrimp omelette, chicken pasta bowl, and potatoes with chicken. I was pleasantly surprised with the sides that came with the omelette - grits and potatoes. The portions sizes are generous enough to share! So that’s what we did. The omelette and potatoes were our dinner while the shrimp and grits and chicken pasta were our breakfast and lunch the next day. The food was good! I was expecting a little more creole seasonings, but the grits and pasta dishes were nice and creamy and the shrimp were plentiful in the omelette. Oh, we also ordered gooey red velvet cake but we didn’t get to it - yet ;)

The trolley trail is a perfect out and back walking/running trail. The distance - just over a mile is an easy run downhill toward downtown Ellicott City, and then a moderately challenging slow incline back. The tail is wide and smooth. The scenery is serene, yet active enough to keep two toddlers entertained on our stroller run 😉
