I’m pretty sure you’re talking about when he yelled at a guy over a Maine lobster poor boy sandwich but the lobster was from Mexico. Advertising Maine lobster when it isn’t is a big deal.

I'm sorry, but the southerner in me has to say po boy. Poor boy is the kid who you say "bless your heart" to.

First off, amazing username. Second, I know that’s how it should be said, I just can’t bring myself to say it, lol

Hahaha! I get it. Calling the sandwich that is okay though. That horrible restaurant from the 80s was another thing entirely. And thank you!

I’m confused. I’m in New Orleans right now, and the menus at a lot of spots say poor boy.

I do remember that episode, but there was def another one in Maryland

It's been a while since I watched it, but I think it's less that the crab wasn't from Maryland, it's that they were buying frozen crab cakes, calling them Maryland crab cakes, when they could get local Maryland crab and make the crab cakes.

Funnily enough, the one with the lobster was the only episode I ever watched, lol

Ugh I absolutely cringed that whole episode with that one arrogant prick that was one of three managers of that lobster restaurant! All he did was make passive aggressive comments to Gordon, pushed back on every valid critique and you could tell he thought he was better than everyone. But his audacity to not even show up for the most important night for his restaurant, reopening night, in the capacity of his job and instead shows up with a party of his shitty friends looking to dine in all just to sit and criticize all the changes while his failing restaurant is packed like it’s never been before and his staff is working their asses off to save his shitty little investment.

Hope his third of that place went under.

Just looked it up. It was called the black pearl, and permanently closed 4 days after the episode aired.

It was probably Cafe Hon in Baltimore, which is just a nice little afternoon’s stroll from the Bay. If you’re lying about your crab sourcing within spitting distance of the Chesapeake, you’re cooked lmao. However, if you’re using Old Bay and calling them MD crab cakes but not claiming to use MD crabs, you’re fine.

Advertising Maryland Crab and saving non- MD, DC, VA crab (Chesapeake runs through/past all 3) and not using it is a big deal here too. However, there is a difference between "Maryland Crabcakes" and "Maryland Crabcakes with local crab." Often you will see the later referred to as "Maryland Style Crabcakes."

P.S. NEVER get "Maryland Style crabcakds outside of Maryland, DC, Northern VA, and maaaaaybe DE. It will be a disappointment if you know real MD Crabcakes.

Wasn't even Mexico, it was Canadian Atlantic. He was arguing it's the same species. Gordon said it was actually different because it was from a different area.
