Q: Which State never enforced Prohibition?
A: Maryland🥂
Maryland felt that Prohibition was infringement of its "state's right" to control alcohol within its borders. Not everyone wanted Prohibition, and from the outset even the other states kept up the flow of alcohol with the help of gangsters and the 'speakeasy'. In addition, home-made alcohol grew in popularity despite the fact that the alcohol produced was invariably poisonous.
Take your dinner up a notch with Speaks' Chicken Marsala! Enjoy the combination of sautéed mushrooms and marsala wine reduction with house made spaghetti.
