The Dreaded Crabcake Question

No, I'm not going to answer it today. But I thought you'd be interested in how others answer it.

Thanks to Andy Segall for pointing out this article on the subject, which appeared in the travel section of the St. Petersburgh Times this Sunday.

Ten crabcakes. Five days.

Clearly an amateur if that's all she can eat.

It's a fun story, with recipes, and the best part is the scornful comments by (I presume) real Marylanders at the end. After all, what do foreigners -- or should that be furriners? -- know about our local food?

I know that there are some wonderful restaurant crab cakes, but as I have gotten older I have come to appreciate a homemade crab cake above all others. I love to eat out but I find that when I pay twenty-five dollars for two crabcakes, I am never quite satisfied with the product, even when they are wonderful.

Where's a good place to get crab cake?

Not Orlando, to be sure.

As to where in Baltimore...you could ask 20 natives and get 37 authoritative answers.
