Baltimore hosts Jimmy Fallon, Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Connelly and Kevin Connolly

Dining sightings from around Baltimore this week:

 Funny man and Actor Jimmy Fallon, whose fiancee is the movie's Producer was spotted having lunch at McCormick & Schmick's yesterday...crab soup was his starter. He expressed an interest that the new Fogo de Chao was near his hotel.

Actors Kevin Connolly, Scarlett Johansson and Jennifer Connelly surely fell under the spell of Charm City as they filmed scenes for the upcoming romantic comedy "He's Just Not That Into You." According to The Baltimore Sun, two of the city's most beloved Baltimore eateries, Thairish and Helmand, provided a backdrop for the three thespians as they stepped in front of the camera on November 17, 2007.

 Movie buffs who wish to taste the fare served at the filming locations will embark on an epicurean adventure when ordering from the two Mount Vernon district restaurants. The names of tempting Thai take-out treats, including panang curry, fried shrimp satay and masaman curry with chicken are written on a chalkboard menu that hangs on the wall of Thairish, a bijoux Baltimore diner with an Asian ambiance, while the appetizing aromas of such Afghan cuisine as vegetarian aushak, chicken kabob and kabuli entice foodies into Helmand restaurant, deemed one of the best dining destinations in Baltimore in a Zagat survey.

 Jimmy Fallon and Kevin Connolly were at Big Kahuna in Harborplace Friday night (filming was going on at the end of the block, across from the visitor center); we noticed some kind of teriyaki rib-looking dish headed their way, but it looked mostly untouched when they left.
