I'm judging a crab soup contest today
Guess who one of the "celebrity" judges at the Crab Soup Stakes at the Harborplace Amphitheater is?
I'll bet I don't even have to tell you. (It's me.)
That's right, folks. From 11 a.m.-1 p.m. today, I'll be judging crab soup made from several Baltimore restaurants. The event celebrates the official kickoff of Baltimore Restaurant Week ...
As an Eastern Shore native, I'm pumped -- I love crab soup. I hope they don't make me use a spoon, because where I'm from, we just dip our hands in the pot and slurp it, straight-up.
If you're around, come and say hi. I'll be the judge wearing the charcoal ribbed shirt with the greasy hair and permanently crossed arms. Hee hee.

Maybe you should judge a CRAP SOUP contest instead, since you're such an expect.
