That's my brew of choice.

 

"The crab cakes are delicious"

Agreed, however there's a lot of pretenders out there. My current favorites are PAPPAS and Kocos Pub.

"REALLY good back fin crab cake."

Lump crab cake is how I travel. Only lump.

Crab cakes used to be food for poor people. They'd take carb scraps then roll them in a ball with some inexpensive filler then fry'em. The crab cake was invented. Next came back fin cakes which I remember eating as a kid and now lump cakes. Somewhere along the way deep fried hard crabs came to be then after that crab imperial another heart stopper. Cardiologists gotta love deep fried hard crabs and crab imperial because of all the business they brought them.

 

I work in the city and I have to work (sometimes alone) in the worst parts at all hours of the night and day. I am tell you first hand that Baltimore is a dump! The city doesn't take care of any of its infrastructure, junkies run rampid and at any time you could be shot or robbed. I had my cell phone stolen out of my work truck a few months ago.

 

Taking Amtrak, I'm privy to some of the more pleasant spots in the city..........it's truly sad.

 

If you think their brew is good try their ice cream! No kidding!!!

 

Shoot.......just googled and they sell the stuff in my neck of the woods. I'll indeed try it out Paddy. Thanks.

 

You guys crack me up...... I travel both Baltimore and DC inner city from the high dollar neighborhood's to ghetto and I've never had any issues . Well I am from South Baltimore and yes it's true we take no prisoners .
But if you know how to handle yourself you shouldn't have any issues. And handling one self doesn't have to mean fight...just being street savy.
A many a night I've have spent on my boat moored in the inner harbor .

 

A word to the wise...... if you are of the addicted nature be careful. I'm hooked on the chocolate brownie.
And I may add I take No responsibility for the above post telling you about the ice cream.

 

Where in Sobo?

 

Pig town
As a kid my first job was down on Pearl st. I Was 12 working in a Italian bakery. Right down the street from the projects.
West Lexington market..... where the po shops.

 

Hey Ken Walmart sells it here like $4 something at whole foods it may cost you the better part of a 10 spot. Just a heads up....... and shame on you to doubt me on a food issue. Crab cakes I can show you the best, only thing better is a soft crab sandwich .

 

Here's a little teaser

 

Paddy, I've never doubted your expertise in the field of food, as I know you have served long and well in the industry. I count myself lucky to have you as a mentor.

 

Thanks Ken my team at work refer to me as the " Deli Lama"

 

When I was a kid, visiting Pennsylvania, they had the most wonderful icecream when compared to what we had in NY............so creamy, so buttery. NY is blah.

 

So what did you pick up at the show Paddy?

 

Nada Ken I've been working steady since getting back from Texas. In fact I'm working tomorrow trying to catch up. I was on special projects then off to Austin Tx. Had a day off and it's been go since. Was asked to go to Ocean City NJ next weekend to handle another issue and I said no. I need some down time. I did pick up last Sunday two half dimes and another shield nickel.

 

I did see Jerry at the show last Sunday . He picked up a nice Morgan and a Walking Liberty half.
