G & M

I desperately wanted Chris to have MD crab while we were in town. As we walked into G&M we were greeted by a newly renovated beautiful restaurant. The mix of older couples, young businessmen and chatty women told us that their food had to be good enough for all the different needs. We were excited. We were seated on the second floor which was only tables for two. There were flat screens everywhere but it wasn’t obnoxious and loud like a sports bar.

We ordered two crab cake sandwiches. The waitress was the epitome of a Baltimorean. Chris was surprised by her gruff demeanor mixed with pet names. I think it was a grand total of 4 minutes later that our crab cakes were placed on the table. We were still playing around taking pictures when they arrived. Man, they were beautiful. I had mine with chunky applesauce and Chris had crinkly French fries.

I immediately ditched the bun and went to town while Chris tried to pick his up and eat it like a sandwich, it was adorable and clumsy. He caught on and left the bun. It was crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside, flavorful, full of crab meat hunks and no oozing mayonnaise or other condiment. Perfection.

These weren’t budget sandwiches at 13 dollars apiece but for good crab cakes, it was worth it! Plus the dinner version went up to 25 dollars a serving. Full of delicious seafood comfort we piled back into the rental car and two cars were ready for our spot before I could even put her in reverse.
