That's why I would have sent those Egyptian kids up to the Lexington Market. Only the intrepid tourists brave their way up there.
The best crabcakes come out of my cast iron skillet (my wife uses the skillet too, but mine bite back).
There are very, very few chain restaurants that are worth anything (Ruths Chris a notable exception).
When's dinner??? :)
Ahhh, the best crab cakes are at Timbuktu's off 100 in Hanover (near BWI). You can order them online, they are unbelievable.
