Friends, Calvin Lauf and Gary Rissling purchased a bar in 1992 and started the Cal and Gary Catering Company. Prime Rib was their signature dish. In 1995, they bought the Silver Spring Inn and the Silver Spring Mining Company was opened. The recipe for Sour Beef came with the purchase. In 1998, they opened another 'mine' in Bel Air. Sadly, it was also the year in which Cal died. The company has three locations – in Bel Air, Hunt Valley and Perry Hall. To complement their robust cuisine, they offer draft and bottled beer, and extensive wine list and have a cocktail menu dedicated to their Signature Collections.
