[@lovelylonglocs7958]

Their bacon, egg, and cheese biscuits are my favorite! The crab pie is excellent also!...Delicious! 💞

[@DSmith-gs4tr]

The fact that she has her grandma with her in that kitchen making those biscuits is a blessing in and of itself. I know she will cherish these precious moments.

[@Ac35010]

Baltimore has one of the top food scenes in the country! It’s an artists haven! Great coffee shops, over 20 bookstores and world class art!

[@benscheidhastoomuchtosay2094]

Thank you CBS! I love your artisan series. Your choice of local to the area creators is spot on. That stuff she is making looks unreal!

[@1Avatar]

I am beyond envious and jealous of those that make the dish possible.

[@smtpgirl]

So glad Mack got her due. Maryland Pride. I will be in Baltimore next week and will search out her store. 💯

[@ericp.9588]

Great job young lady!

[@djhero0071]

Those soufflé biscuits are why I clicked in the first place and damn. I ever happen to be around Baltimore, I gotta try it.

[@nicolapowell7730]

Amen, amen!

[@kthearcher3357]

Same lol

[@kayyimahalston1480]

Watching this makes me extremely happy. The joy of doing what you love is everything ❤ Experiencing the very thing with her grandmother that she enjoyed as a child.

[@pamelapolk7128]

When in The B, I’ll stop by. Sis go higher and Thank God!! Whew food looks amazing.

[@zeldasmith6154]

They're all sweet and loving.

[@williamboo9017]

[@erikaharris5675]

Amanda Mack and her grandmother are the definition of community queens and treasures. I am so proud of this young lady and I hope she gets all the blessings and support that she needs in business and all aspects of her life.

[@sber3911]

I wish I would have seen this video when I there in January. I could taste those biscuit through the screen. The owners seems so humble and down to earth. I hope the Harbor area treats you well and you have continued success. You are on my list to stop by this summer.

[@charliemoorejr.]

Oh my this food looks great 😍! Whenever I am in Baltimore I will have to visit this restaurant ! I wish her continued happiness and success 🤠👏🏾✊🏾! Feb 24, 2024 9:53AM

I haven’t been to the Harbor Place in a long time. Guess it’s time to swing by and check this place out.

[@AllisonFlores-y9t]

I need to go and try her food! Amazing story

[@IcedCoffeeandChaplaincy]

Sooo DOPE. I’m coming - it’s a 45min drive but I love food, and support small businesses

[@kathleenlong79]

Road Trip to Baltimore!!!!

[@tamikawhitehurst6631]

So proud of this young lady. I grew up in the same neighborhood. Will visit her shop ❤

[@danacooper6723]

Thanks for sharing this story, I've never heard of this company. I live in Philadelphia, only 2 hours away. I will be sure to visit Crust, probably for my birthday in April. It all looks delicious, I want to try it all.

[@atlsongbyrd6084]

Those cakes look so pretty!

[@Myopinionmattersthemost]

Love this! My mom and grand Aunt used jars to cut the biscuit dough

[@erich1070]

00:41 "oh my damn amazing"😆🤣

[@ETCarter1954]

An awesome story, Lady Michele. I wish I was in Baltimore so I could visit her restaurant.

[@moniquejohnson2465]

Such a wonderful story 🥹 beautiful 😍

[@Tippy150]

The 'poof' that she spoke about with the Mason jar I experienced that too with my grandmother making biscuits in Arkansas ❣️😋

[@vernettaricks2452]

Absolutely love it! Congratulations!

[@SleepyArcticBirds-ft4lb]

What a beautiful story❤

[@___beyondhorizon4664]

I'm surprised her hair is not tied up when handling food

[@marriejames01]

Yeah, I see a lot of cooks/chefs doing that and I hate it.

[@mkat4271]

Or gloves......nope not eating any of that.

[@catherinesanchez1185]

I work in Baltimore. Now, I know the next place I'll be visiting for something delicious!!

[@whynot8901]

good job Mandy your ancestors are smiling indeed

[@a1waystreet-j86]

Yummy yummy

[@nicolerobinson6294]

Wonderful Story ❤.

[@malousmom9231]

I need to visit this place!

[@NNITRED]

The crab pie and All In breakfast biscuit should both come with addiction warnings. A little pricey but well worth.

[@paula.3221]

Very nice like Baltimore Maryland

[@paula.3221]

Congratulations

[@sadiewilliams]

Congratulations on your business!😊

[@bevmain1704]

That's so Sweet &so cool 🎉💖🌹🎂

[@snsn7251]

[@helenannleeshung9028]

That looks like some home cooked greatness❤❤❤❤

[@Joyful_Smiles]

Beautiful story. Happy Black History Month!

[@johnd8167]

I'd love to try one of those crab pies 😋

[@raeniedai9706]

I need to go there. That’s road trip worthy

[@hunterpickett1687]

That looks so good

[@debbiecooper1677]

looks great. OMG those crap cakes look so yummy

[@erykahhoney588]

I’ll definitely be checking her out

[@MultiGemgirl]

I love the name, and the food looks delicious

[@monnie1027]

Looks delicious 🙏🕊🙏😇

[@RH126B]

She really interrupted her to try some of the crust 😂

[@choosehope8729]

So hungry now ❤

[@dextersmithbsee]

Wonderful! Black girl power on full display 😊😊😊❤❤❤

[@MoodyLover9]

Yummy 😋

[@intentional-joy]

If this is ADOS-owned, I will support.

[@mele9131]

❤❤❤❤

[@colleenconley6615]

Wow, your chicken looks fantastic! What is osmo?

[@lioninguccisuit]

2:40 ... m-am the ... hair..

[@latoniajones-britt8677]

Did her hair just touch the dough

[@bornaries7213]

Definitely needs some sanitary protocols!

[@katheryn7258]

No gloves while cooking, hair everywhere. Hard no. The reporter literally wipes her nose then digs into the food. Unreal.

[@agl5132]

👏🏽👏🏼🔥💯 I'll make a special trip.

[@dstorm7752]

There are so many good things about Baltimore that it is a shame that crime, corruption, and illegal immigration overwhelm the other aspects

[@Kevin-p2l5b]

Okay.

[@aprilcraddock169]

Who else hates HAIR that loose close to food?? 😝😝

[@MsShellectable]

THOSE BISCUITS, THO!

[@rainday1539]

Hair sliding across the dough????

[@yeh0802]

I don’t see a hairnet. With her hair so long, shouldn’t she wear a hairnet in the kitchen?

[@joijaxx]

Gloves would have been nice too. Maybe she does but didn't want to for the camera?

[@katheryn7258]

@@joijaxx One would think if it was a habit she wouldn’t have changed that for the camera. It makes a horrible impression for food safety and cleanliness.

[@alex88meier72]

🎉

[@missfirenice1421]

Heyyyyy. The guy with the red beard…isn’t he from TikTok?

[@chilicheesefrito]

food looks good, but dogs don't belong in restaurants. i'd skip based on that.
