GINOS!

the Baltimore location opened a little while ago, and while I was too young to enjoy Gino's when they were still around, my other half was thrilled to bits with his burger. he missed them.

i do feel this is unfair, as the Pats are a Massachusetts-based team. including other states in this WOULD slam them into the lead quite easily.

now, here's a question: have you tried Saranac Ginger Beer in a D&S?

FYI: Dark & Stormy is trademarked by Goslings, and should be made with Black Seal. might want to add that little tidbit. :)

I've had Crate & Barrel's attempt at a crab cake mix, and I ended up tossing the stuff out. It's horrid compared to actually making them from scratch. Even if you don't like Old Bay, there are plenty of recipes online that are equally edible...and I can honestly say that it's never taken me more than a few minutes to whip up some crab cakes.

This mix isn't edible, in my book. Don't bother buying it.

@attgig - i know it's a bit farther out, but Charcoal Grill in Parkville's pretty good. better than Chaps, IMO.

@James Boo - definitely make an Andy's stop. it's off I83 and can be pretty busy at times...but it's worth it.

@Maryland Crab, their website indicates pretty regular hours. maybe you're going by there outside their normal operating time? have you tried to eat there during their normal hours, or are you just driving by? the pit beef stand nearest my home always APPEARS like no one's there, but they're open during their posted hours...

here's Expressway's site, in case you're unsure of when they're open. http://www.expresswaypitbeef.com/ordereze/default.aspx

...hell no. i avoid processed food completely. why the hell would i want to eat this?

right, but muddled mint doesn't belong in a julep.

Ledos is so delicious. absolutely fabulous.

....and now i need Dim Sum. pity i can't get it where i live.

did you *watch* the video? i know it doesn't automatically play, so ... if you watched it, after knowing the title, i would wonder why.

i do respect your choice to cut down or discontinuing eating meat. after forcing myself to be aware of how livestock is generally treated in the industry, i started going to a farmer i know for any and all meat products. he doesn't use antibiotics or hormones, and his cows eat real grass, weeds, and wildflowers like they should. at least i can see the animals i'm eating beforehand, so i know their health situation, treatment, and how they're fed. i won't cut meat out completely, but i'll go out of my way to find the best sources possible for it.

i'm stepping off my soapbox...i didn't mean to jump on your case, specifically, but you're the most recent commenter condemning this post (and others like it).

KUDOS, seriouseats, for posting this video.
