I will always wonder who was the first person who caught a crab and found the white meat of the crustacean delightful.  I know my mother, Bernice was very thankful for the discovery, as was Old Bay.  

Crab cakes were served in our house as a family favorite.  Bernice did not like too much “filler”.  I have found a crab cake with no filler detected at the Drummer’s Cafe. 

I was returning to Virginia from Connecticut and made a stop in Berlin, Md. at the Atlantic Hotel. The hotel restaurant is called Drummer’s Cafe.  It is a charming victorian bistro with indoor and outdoor seating. I chose to sit on their glass-enclosed porch with a view of the adorable town.

The waiter was delightful and he could see I was ready to order.  “I’ll have the crab cake sandwich with the chips, now, I meant…please.”  I didn’t have to wait long and there in front of me was the most perfect crab cake. Just look at the picture, perfectly prepared and cooked.

I picked up the crab cake sandwich and vast chunks of crab fell onto my plate, bonus crab.  I have no idea if there are any additional ingredients in this crab cake.  I could only see and taste the crab.  The way life should be…crab with no filter, I mean filler! 

What are you waiting for?  Go, order the crab cake and let me know your impression.  Do you agree it is the best crab cake ever?
