Baby baked potatoes
Baby potato skins stuffed with chili and sour cream
Boiled baby potatoes with crème fraiche and caviar
Chicken parmesan sliders with chicken nuggets, provolone, and marinara

Al Spoler, well known to WYPR listeners as the wine-loving co-host of "Cellar Notes" has had a long-standing parallel interest in cooking as well. Al has said, the moment he started getting serious about Sunday night dinners was the same moment he started getting serious about wine. Over the years, he has benefited greatly from being a member of the Cork and Fork Society of Baltimore, a gentlemen's dining club that serves black tie meals cooked by the members themselves who are some of Baltimore's most accomplished amateur cooks.
