It’s the people that elevate the neighborhood vibe at Koco’s Pub

We get the privilege of going all over town with our Maryland Crab Cake Tour but nothing takes it back to the old neighborhood like an afternoon at Koco’s Pub in Lauraville and doing the show between the kitchen and the bar with Marcella Knight, who has been celebrating 40 years of local business by making even more of her mother’s elevated and amazing crab cakes.
