A family-owned and operated business, Faidley's has been serving up award winning all lump crab cakes in Baltimore's historic Lexington Market since 1866.  Faidley's is almost always included in any crab cake debate as a top contender with G&M.  Read any review, and people will either love or hate Faidley's all lump crab cakes, going out of their way to sample this world-renowned establishment.  What does the Crab Cake Review think?  Read on to find out!

It may be considered the end of summer, but it's not the end of crab season!  If you're a typical Marylander, crabs are certainly going to be part of your weekends until the boats turn up dry.  With so many places to choose from, why not pick a shack?  Enter Fat Boys to the rescue, located in Crofton not far off of Rt 50.  But while crabs are all well and good, we actually need to stay a little clean this time around (what with everyone wearing white pants for some reason), so crab cakes it is!  Does the Shack deliver, or should you stick to crackin' and pickin'?  Let's find out!

The latest foodie craze to hit the streets of DC is the gourmet food truck.  Mind you, these are not your parents' food trucks, which were really nothing more than snack cards or a mobile catering business that serviced construction sites and movie studios.  No, these are mobile kitchens without the overhead of establishing a physical restaurant, and able to go to where the customers are at a moment's notice.  The idea is simple - a minimal kitchen with a focus on one or two food items that the mobile chefs rock as their signature dish.  Some even offer loyalty cards, which reward you for your repeat business.  And a good number of them accept credit cards.

So with new trucks hitting the road every day, and the food truck craze continuing to spread, it only makes sense that one would be serving up tasty, tasty crab (especially in this area!).  Feelin' Crabby doesn't serve up crab cakes, however.  But, instead, deliver a tasty crab sandwich (called a Crabwich), which you can view as either the crab's answer to the lobster roll, or an uncooked crab cake.  Either way, it's crab (and jumbo lump at that!).  But is it delicious?  Let's find out!

Gambrills is currently undergoing some big changes as of late.  First there came The Village at Waugh Chapel Shopping Center.  Now there is the Waugh Chapel Town Center being developed (which brings Wegman's to this neck of the woods!  Yyeeesssss!).  Not really much else around here, so you might as well get your shopping done, and then knock off for the rest of the day with some dinner and drinks.  Which brings us to the Four Seasons Grill -- an eclectic fusion of Mediterranean and American cuisine.  They've been around since 2006, and always seem to be packed.  So are they worth visiting for crab cakes?  Let's find out!

The Baltimore Marriott Waterfront has to be one of the most convenient locations for a hotel around the Inner Harbor.  Located in Harbor East, it is centrally located for guests to walk as far as Canton or Federal Hill in either direction without the need to use public transportation (although if it's a hot day, you may want to take the Circulator, especially if you're looking to go up around Mount Vernon/Charles Village).  With all that there is to see and do in the area, one might scoff at eating in the hotel.  And in our opinion, we'd recommend venturing out and experiencing the true B'more crab establishments.  But if the weather isn't cooperating, or you've already been out and about (that walk from Federal Hill to Canton can be brutal to the uninitiated!), then you might want to consider staying in.  There are other seafood options in Harbor East, so is it worth hanging out at the Marriott, or should you go elsewhere?  Follow along and find out!
