So excited to read the coddie report! We live within walking distance of Dylan’s and they are def my favorite coddies in town. When we first moved to this part of the city, 25 or so years ago, there were still corner stores with coddies sitting on the counter.
This was so much fun to read… I personally loved the photo of the coddies with two mustards next to them, both in plastic squeeze dispensers. There was the yellow mustard and next to it the DELI mustard. I’m glad Baltimore is not on my travel list anytime soon because my husband and I would go to every place that you two went to.
I’ll see you in New Jersey for the NJ fried hot dog crawl. lol 😂
Wow! Ok I need to stop just quick layovering in Baltimore and go stay a coupla days! I really love y'all's research and adventures. Not the same, I know, but it's my only reference point - I dated a woman who lived in Atlanta and on one of my trips there she took me to a great seafood restaurant to introduce me to conch fritters. They were delicious
We always ate coddies cold ( room temperature). They were not restaurant fair. Not even bar food. Of course you might find a tray of them on a bar for sale. Like one would see pickled eggs. What people seem to be offering here sound more like Brandade Fritters.
I want to try a coddie! So interesting that it's yellow mustard as standard accompaniment. Also, what the heck is stuffed ham? Inquiring minds want to know.
Things I didn’t know I needed! A friend in NOLA made a stuffed ham for Thanksgiving last year--it was delightfully odd and fantastic. And now I need a coddie! Filing this away for an August ADI trip to Baltimore...
I grew up in Baltimore in the 80s/90s (a 10-15 min walk from both Broadway Market and Attmans) and don't remember coddies being much of a thing. And they hadn't really reemerged before I left town in 2000. I'll have to seek some out next time I visit my mom. Faidley's is always worth a trip.
Oh, and if you do ever make another trip for stuffed ham, Chaptico Market way, way down in Chaptico is the place to get it. We make a multi-hour detour pretty much every December to pick up a platter.
I love this piece and can't wait to share it with my mom and her sisters! Their grandfather, Sam Sherman, was also a Baltimore coddie guy. My family insists they were better than Cohen's :) I wrote this little blog post years ago https://findingblanche.wordpress.com/2008/10/06/coddies/ PS I agree, Dylan's coddies are awfully good while not 100% traditional. They told my husband and me that they would smush them for us next time!

Never heard of coddies (I’m in Wisconsin). They are now my food obsession. Absolutely fantastic article! Great work!!
The Essen Room Coddies look to be the most authentic.

This is making me want to go get coddies right now!! Also, you really do need to stop wearing that “I’m a jerk” sign..
