 
With 30 years of
experience in the restaurant industry, Dearie's resumé
includes manager for the 4 star, 4 diamond, international
award winning Conservatory Restaurant atop the Peabody Court
Hotel and its allied catering business on Mount Vernon Square
for 8 years, and Antrim 1844 in Taneytown, MD, another prestige
dining establishment, for 4 years.
A native to Sykesville,
Dearie purchased the station in the summer of 1997. He quickly
turned the station into a venue to unleash his creative freedom.
By hiring Executive Chefs to design the menus and co-oping
with Uptown Promotions, Baldwin Station soon became the talk
of the town for it's food, service and Thursday night concert
series. Busily working
away in the old train master's office, atop the station, Dearie
barely has time to take in the bird's eye view of the scenic
Patapsco River rolling below. As chief of his own promotions,
Dearie has quickly wow'd magazines and newspapers afar with
the lure of the train station and the revitalization of the
sounds of singer-songwriters and jazz music. As quoted in the Baltimore
Sun, Dearie says "I want this place to be an experience, not just
a meal".
