Baltimore's shortlist runs bakery and Mediterranean before anything else, with Harmony Bakery, Plant Baked by Sarah, and Cajou Creamery handling three lanes of sweet and Oleum and Byblos Lebanese Cuisine carrying the savory side. Pizza tops the signature count at 11 venues, but the only dish-excellence entry is cake at Plant Baked by Sarah, which makes the bakery skew read as intentional.
