"We tell you where you’ll find the best ones: Gertrude's - There’s Gertie’s, a feisty cake with a spicy bite named for chef/owner John Shields’s grandmother, or a crab cake of the day—the Chesapeake when we visited, an unadorned patty with a buttery sauce."

"Not only can you get today's favorite jumbo lump crab cake, but he also offers a "crab cake du jour". After all, traditional crab cakes were a way to flavor and stretch all the crab, so indulge in a taste treat: step back into time with one of his darker leg meat cakes, perhaps glazed with stone ground mustard for extra flavor."

Kathy Patterson

"The one always available is Gertie’s crab cake, an all-lump beauty made from his grandmother’s recipe."
