Had my very first ever crab cake at a place called "TIMBUKTU". I can truly say it was the best I've ever had, since it's the only one I've ever had, but all the locals seem to agree that TIMB.. (or G&M I think, same people) makes the best there are. I'd like to go back and try a few other places.

Still, give me some steamed Alaskan King Crab legs, a cup of melted butter and a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale...

That's just me..

Im glad you enjoyed our Crab Cakes, they are the best. Did you have any Raw Oysters? they're the bomb. I love all seafood, you west coasters are luck as hell cause My whole family LOVES Alaska King Crab slothered in butter. at the stores though they charge us 17.99 a pound for it. We go to the All-U-Can Eat Seafood Feasts down in Ocean City Md, 26.00 a person, I know me and my boys eat 10 lbs of King Crab legs. Good Stuff!!

Reading that post made me go out and get 2 pounds of shrimp for the Mrs and I last night. Steamed them up in Old Bay, beer and vinegar. MMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMM.

Got the Pork Shoulder in the slow cooker now. the boys want pulled pork bar b q sandwiches for todays onslaught of the Cardinals.

Sorry Mr Magic

Oh and Magic, Im not prejudiced towards any seafood, Dungeness crabs are good too. Whats crazy though. Our Blue Crab, absolutely must, without a doubt be steamed with Old Bay. Yet the Alaskan King and the Stone and Dungeness boiled and dipped in butter.

Cravn your right. You can't go wrong with seafood! We took a trip out to San Francisco to watch the Colts game a couple of years ago and I think Heather planned the whole damn trip around when she was going to get to have Dungeness Crab!

We also took a trip down to the gulf and the gulf port shrimp down there was to die for!!

It pretty much sucks being here in the Heartland! It costs us an arm and a leg to get good seafood around here.

If you and the Mrs ever get a chance to take in Florida, Daytona area, You MUST try this new Shrimp out there, its only found between New Symyrna Florida and Mexico. Its called a Rock Shrimp, a cross between a lobster and a shrimp. its out of this world and inexpensive down too. I never heard of it before, and one day I was watching the Discovery Channel and they did a segment on a little Ocean front restuarant in New Symrna called JB's Crab Shack, pretty down to earth place, but that is usually where the best sea food is.

I did a little Mapquest and JB's was 31 miles from my Dads place.

What Hilton were you at? White Marsh or Baltimore. I was at White Marsh over the weekend, My Mother In Law is being put up there by the insurance for 6 months while they rebuild her house that my FIL decided to blow up.

Next time just shout, theres a place called Angelinas its in North East Baltimore City, there always raved about as being the Best Crab in B-More, for the past 30 years.

I've always heard O'Bricky's was the place for crab (or a name close to that). Does that ring a bell, Cravn? I was there about 6 years ago with a gang after a business affair at Inner Harbor. Now, I'm here to tell you I don't eat crab but everyone in the party raved about it.

Wow...
I remember the thread, but I guess I missed the reason for needing the tradesmen. He's one lucky sumbitch...

Insurance gonna take care of things with the house? Were things in good order? If you're needing all this help... I'm thinking not...

Yes things are in order with the insurance Co, they put my M-I-L up in the Hilton White Marsh, they are now settling on an apartment in the same area. Ins Co says its going to be atleast 6 months for total renovation.
