Jerry Pellegrino, OwnerChef Jerry Pellegrino of Corks Restaurant is fascinated by food and wine, and the way they work in harmony on the palate. His understanding of the two goes all the way to the molecular level, drawing on his advanced education in molecular biology. His cuisine is simple and surprising, pairing unexpected ingredients together to work with Corks’ extensive wine offerings. Under his direction, Corks has been named one of Baltimore’s top 50 restaurants ever year since opening in 1997 and has been given “The Wine Spectator” award of excellence.
