On the 12th day of the Maryland #CrabCakeTour in 2021, Nestor and Jenn ventured from St. Michael’s down past Tilghman Island and then made a run for Hoopers Island through the Blackwater Refuge and Harriet Tubman Trail south of Cambridge. A long day of driving and sightseeing and simply brilliant clouds, weather, views and food. Spend a day on the Eastern Shore with us!

We did not pick a “best crab cake” on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour but we’ll say that we had none finer than this most remote of locations in the most awesome setting. Next time, we’ll get some oysters, too! Watch the Old Salty’s videos and you’ll know that we know and now you know…

Follow along all of July for last year’s glorious and delicious 30 crab cakes in 30 days (#CrabCakeTour on Twitter and Facebook) and let Nestor re-tell you where to go this summer for a tasty ‘cake.

This year’s tour is sponsored by The Maryland Lottery, Goodwill Industries and Window Nation and the Restaurant Association of Maryland and begins at Rocky Gap State Park on August 1st and will stretch for 31 thirsty days and nights as Nestor celebrates his 31st Anniversary as Baltimore’s longest-running and most celebrated radio voice and media traveling crab cake taster all month for a second run at great Maryland businesses and local breweries all over The Free State. From Oakland to Ocean City, from Cumberland to Cambridge – The Maryland Crab Cake Tour retrospective from 2020 is here and the 2021 edition is coming your way.

If you have a nominee for a delicious Maryland crab cake somewhere on the local roads, now is the time to toss Nestor a note: nes@baltimorepositive.com. We’re always looking for a new place to bring our sponsors: The Maryland Lottery, Goodwill Industries and Window Nation and the Restaurant Association of Maryland in support of Restaurant Week from September 16-25, 2022.

It’s very important that you click HERE and learn about what True Blue means to Maryland crabbers and folks who deliver this deliciousness to the world.
Helluva place they got down here at Hoopers Island. Don’t tell anyone how great it is!
Ah, the Eastern Shore life in Maryland…
Yeah. It was pretty good…
Iced up in Easton at the Royal Farms. The chicken tastes better on the Eastern Shore! Must be the fresh air!
And then we came back to St. Michael’s and ordered an inedible crab cake. (Hard to do, but it happened. Sent it back!) But we don’t talk about that because we had the company of great, lifelong friends!

Podcasts, Pearl Jam passion and the present tense with The Mayne Event

They met on the backstretch at Pimlico three decades ago and The Mayne Event always returns and never disappoints for sports, comedy, charity and why Eddie Vedder shouldn't trust Nestor. Longtime ESPNer Kenny Mayne checks in for another round of tales of wiffle ball with Ken Griffey, podcasts with the other Manning and still being pissed off about the Sonics (and Pilots) departure from Seattle.

These milestones continue to add up as the 25th anniversary of the Baltimore Ravens' Super Bowl XXXV win is coming later this month and Nestor is catching up with many of the Purple Reign legacies about life – on and off the field – as we celebrate the night we all felt the civic pride of that first miracle in Tampa. Reflections here with the man who coached Jamal Lewis, Priest Holmes, Sam Gash and Femi Ayanbadejo a quarter of a century ago.
The Ravens weren't good enough on the field

Firing the head coach and changing leadership will certainly create an interesting offseason in Owings Mills. No one covers the Xs and Os of the NFL like Mike Tanier of Too Deep Zone. The one-time geometry teacher of Joe Flacco joins Nestor to discuss the depth and salary cap numbers of the Baltimore Ravens roster and the structural changes Eric DeCosta will need even after Steve Bisciotti finds a new captain to lead Lamar Jackson.
