Foreman Wolf wants Johnny's to be an everyday destination for the folks of Roland Park, a place they can show up at, on a whim, for breakfast, lunch or dinner. And they have been. Johnny's is the fifth restaurant from Baltimore restaurateurs Tony Foreman and Cindy Wolf. The hits from Foreman Wolf, as their company is known, just keep on coming - Charleston, Pazo, Cinghiale and Petit Louis, which is Johnny's neighbor in the Roland Park Shopping Center. And Johnny's sure is good looking.

Mild-mannered body shop owner by most days, outrageously wigged Purple Dame on Ravens gamedays - that's the story of Severn's Cindy Pierce. And a bust of her in the Pro Football Hall of Fame proves it. "Oh, yeah. It was very cool," Pierce, 46, says of the day last February when she was feted at a ceremony before the Super Bowl and given a copy of the bust that was placed in the Hall of Fame in nearby Canton - one of five "Boldest Fans" honored this year. Still, Pierce, whose trademark purple wigs help her stand out in a stadium full of Ravens fans, acknowledges that she wasn't in much of a celebratory mood.

The first college lacrosse game Navy's Cindy Timchal ever coached didn't turn out the way most of them have since. She lost. On spring break 1982, she took her Northwestern team to Florida for the first game in the program's history. The Wildcats lost 9-8 to powerhouse Trenton State. The next day, they beat Dartmouth, 12-11. With that victory, Timchal began a journey to the pinnacle of her sport. Best known for winning seven straight national championships at Maryland, she has won more games than any other coach in the history of college lacrosse - men's or women's.

Where does a highly acclaimed Baltimore chef like to escape when she has the opportunity to temporarily hang up her apron? If you are Cindy Wolf, there's no better place than Paris. As often as possible, Wolf sneaks away to "the world's best food city" to gain new inspiration for her Baltimore restaurants, Petit Louis Bistro, Pazo, Cinghiale and Charleston. She first visited Paris, briefly, in 1985 while on a backpacking trip. She returned for her honeymoon in 1994 and has been going back ever since.
