Abbey's Burger Bistro:

I can't believe I'm giving this secret away, but I have to remind myself that the reason why Glam Society was started was to present only the very best information in fashion and beauty, arts and entertainment and food and wine. So, without further delay, I must tell you abou...t Abbey's-the perpetual hole in the wall I discovered during my search for the perfect burger. Sure, I've been to 5 Guys, Red Robin and Fuddruckers, but I wanted more! My research had me scouring the pages of Baltimore Magazine, the Zagat, and too many internet sites to count, but one name kept appearing on the Baltimore Best lists. I was sold when Chef and Owner of Charleston's Restaurant, Cindy Wolfe raved about this hidden gem. And so now, I will pass it on to you. This Federal Hill spot is AMAZING. Over 15 specialty burgers and an outstanding "Name Your Own" listing if their own concoctions don't tickle your fancy. Abbey's needs to be on everyone's speed dial and GPS.this secret away, but I have to remind myself that the reason why Glam Society was started was to present only the very best information in fashion and beauty, arts and entertainment and food and wine.

Lisa Glam's pick for Thirsty Thursdays

Thursday is finally here, so why not celebrate the “almost” weekend by kicking off your stilettos, and enjoying a cocktail?

“The Glamorous Life” martini consists of watermelon juice, with a shot of vodka… (Shaken, not stirred)


  • Directions: mix ice, 8 oz of juice (try Dole Sensations Watermelon juice...- look for it in your grocery store), and a martini shaker, cap full of vodka in a cocktail shaker
  • Shake, and serve in a martini glass
  • So you say you’re not a mixed drink kinda girl? Well the Glam Society loves Gollywobbler wine! Try Gollywobbler Pink if you prefer a sweeter wine, or Gollywobbler White, if you prefer your sweetness dialed back a bit- either choice is sure to make you feel like the “Glami” you are!
