Local travel: Suicide bridge

We did not get the groundswell of diners I was hoping for to tell us about the food at Suicide Bridge restaurant. But those who went seemed to say it was worth checking out, so here goes:

Suicide Bridge is in Secretary, not Hurlock, on Maryland's Eastern Shore, not far from Route 50. Go here for directions and info.

Chowhounds seem to like it, and you can get more in-depth reviews here.

What sounds so great: they offer boat rides along the Choptank, and they feed you Eastern Shore-style chicken and crabs. 

The food sounds a bit heavy for my tastes, but I have found it is the sort of thing people are here love: crab balls, crab cakes, lots of side dishes that involce vegetables and butter.

But I think the real attraction here is the setting, and the fact that you can get on a boat and enjoy it. That, and the legend of Suicide Bridge: at least four people have chosen to jump, according to the restaurant's Web site. Kind of creepy, but at least conversation over the meal won't be dull.

Next week: Havre de Grace. Submit any comments you have in advance if you wish.
