Amazing that Linthicum’s G&M Restaurant, Timbuktu in Hanover, Romano’s in Glen Burnie and Hellas in Millersville are all part of the unofficial first family of Baltimore Crab Cake Restaurants.

If the perfect crab cake exists, you can probably find it here.

Times.
“It’s certainly gotten the most attention for being a meal in itself,” said state Sen. Ed DeGrange, a longtime patron and crab cake lover. &l

Victim to get $25,000 in crab cake stabbing 2007-07-29 12:07:46 Victim to get $25,000 in crab cake stabbing
Man ordered to pay restitution in scuffle over who was first in takeout line
By Sharahn Boykin Baltimore Sun Reporter
A 32-year-old Reisterstown man who stabbed a customer he claimed pushed ahead of him in a crabcake takeout line was ordered Wednesday to pay $25,000 restitution but will serve no jail time.
Anne Arundel County Circuit Judge Michele D. Jaklitsch suspended a 10-year prison sentence for Keith Anthony Rantin Jr., of the 300 block of Norgulf Road and sentenced him to five years’ probation. She said she feared the victim would receive no compensation if Rantin served prison time.p> “I think that it is important for the victim to get his money rather than wait seven to 10 years when he gets out,” Jaklitsch said. “He may never get his money.”
Rantin declined to speak in court, but pleaded guilty to first- degree assault against 39-year-old Jeffrey Rites, 39, of Violetville.

The History of Crab Cakes 2007-07-25 11:58:56 The History
of Crab Cakes
According to www.foodtimeline.org, food historians tell us the practice of making minced meat cakes/patties (seafood/landfood) is ancient. Minces mixed with bread/spices/fillers came about for two reasons: taste and economy. Primary evidence suggests recipes for crab-cake types dishes were introduced to the colonies by English settlers. About rissoles and croquettes.
A survey of historic American cookbooks confirms crab recipes were popular from colonial days forward. In the 19th century crab recipes proliferated. Many of these combined bread crumbs and spices; some were fried. These recipes are variously called “to stew crabs,” “to fry crabs,” “to dress crab,” “crab patties” or “crab croquettes.” Sometimes they stand alone, others they are noted as possible variations under similar fish/shellfish recipes. The phrase “crab cake” appears to be a 20th century appellation.

Crab cakes are a wonderful American tradition found in most areas of the country. Crab cakes are an elegant dish, yet comfort food at the same time. You will find them on the menus of five-star restaurants and at most hole-in-the wall crab shacks. This particular recipe uses fairly traditional ingredients for the crab cakes, but adds spicy fruity sauce for some extra pizzazz. I’ve baked the crab cakes to make them a bit healthier, but you can also fry them in oil or butter if you like. -Brett Moore
