was lucky enough to attend the HoCo (Howard County for those of you not from the MD) Blogs party this evening at Petit Louis Bistro on the Lakefront. Petit Louis Bistro is the Brainchild of Tony Foreman and Cindy Wolf who just happen to be the king and queen of the Maryland dining scene. They own handfuls of amazing restaurants all over Baltimore, and Petit Louis is their first in Howard County. So we non-Baltimore types are very excited about this development!
Petit Louis consists of a sit-down French Bistro as well as Comptoir, a carry-out French patisserie serving pastries, sandwiches and breads. They opened officially last month, but seeing as they're located on a beautiful lake, they opened the outdoor area this evening. The food was delicious. I promised myself I'd eat whatever I was offered and I did with very few negative results. On the menu were:
Gruyere Puffs
Wild Game Turine with creme fraiche and pickled ramps
Beet Salad in Endive
Then there was dessert which is always the best part!
Macaroons with Lime
3 flavors of macarons
Chocolate Chip Buckwheat cookies
The only issue I had was with the beet salad which is quite hard to eat with your fingers and wasn't really my thing. Aside from some awkward moments in which I almost bolted due to my complete lack of social graces and inability to make small talk, the rest of the evening went off without a hitch.
I'm hoping they hold a few more of these. If I'm ever going to learn the art of hob-nobbing and small talk, the best chances I have are when I'm surrounded by food : )

Good for you for attending! That's so cool they had it at Petit Louis. I've been wanting to try it for a long time.
