In celebration of the Baltimore Oriole’s fourth spring training season in Sarasota, Fla., Michael's On East is brining back a “Crackerjack” Epicurean Adventure in March.

“After their tremendous last season, I know I’m among many in Sarasota who are thrilled to have the Orioles back in town,” said Michael Klauber, Michael’s On East co-proprietor. “This special menu is our way of cheering on the ‘hometown team’ as they head into this season. We look forward to welcoming local fans and Maryland visitors traveling to support the team’s spring training games.”

The celebrated restaurant will offer a three-course dinner menu featuring dishes inspired by the “Charm City” for only $29.95 per person as well as two-course Power Lunch version which includes a choice of entrée and dessert for only $18.95 per person. For a “Grand Slam” culinary adventure, guests are encouraged to add a perfectly paired glass of red or white wine for only $10 during dinner or $5 during lunch. 

Michael’s Epicurean Adventures present culinary journeys to a new destination each month. The Baltimore Epicurean Adventure dinner menu will be available Monday through Saturday, March 1 -30. 2013. The two-course lunch offering is available Monday through Friday, 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
