It was mandatory that we begin the Maryland Oyster Tour – 26 Oysters in 26 Days in 26 Ways to celebrate our 26th WNST Baltimore Positive anniversary – with family. Allow our wonderful cousin-by-marriage-of-our-daughter-in-law and Chesapeake chef savant John Shields of Gertrude’s at The Baltimore Museum of Art tell Nestor the joys of fried oysters in Baltimore and why we need to expand our gastronomic palate and embrace the infinite flexibility of the mollusk.

So, what exactly is my famous “family” vegan crab cake at Gertrude’s?

It took us a few years but we always wanted to try this vegan crab cake at Gertrude’s at The Baltimore Museum of Art with 14th District Councilwoman Odette Ramos, who has bragged about the legend of this delectable alternative made by chef John Shields. Then, we found out that Nestor is related to him and a Smalltimore holiday moment occurred over zucchini and vegan family love.
