Maryland people are SERIOUS about crab cakes 🦀
So now we need answers:
Bread crumbs or barely any filler?

In Baltimore, they don’t even use plates for this meal…they literally dump giant steamed crabs straight onto the table covered in Old Bay seasoning
Gary tried to learn the messy art of cracking Maryland blue crabs — and things got chaotic fast.
How do YOU crack your crabs?

Guinness. Cherry. Slow-braised over open fire.
