Nestor pulled a wildcard day to have a Montgomery County crab cake and had a handful of easy choices. Mask restrictions and outdoor dining were in place in many areas during the second COVID summer so we did this al fresco but picked a legendary establishment.
My lifer pal and Charm City Devils and Stone Horses legend John Allen decided to hop in the car and go for a boys night out for crab cakes and a beer.
(Don’t tell anyone but he’s one of Nestor’s favorite people!)
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.
We found a beer around the corner. Apparently, this place is owned by badasses. Tasty Denizens brew washed down a crab cake my Mom would’ve loved.Thanks again to every local establishment that has kept going during tough times to feed us and allow us to feed your families. Thanks, Crisfield Seafood!The Crisfield Seafood joint in Silver Spring, Maryland has a wall dedicated to Jimmy Buffett. One more reason to get a crab cake there…At the end of Day 18, we color-coded a Maryland map of the places we’d been and still needed to go. We hit every county on the 30-day tour in August 2021.
