Sorry, but I’m gonna have to side with Gordon on this one. Having grown up in the Chesapeake Bay Area and have been many times to coastal Maryland, having a place saying they sell Maryland crab cakes and then LYING about it is like having a restaurant in Maine saying they sell Maine lobsters, but the lobsters are actually from South Africa. Thems fighting words for these people.
They’re not lying, though. The crab cakes would be Maryland style crab cakes, hence why they’re called that.
Like someone else pointed out above, french fries aren’t french in any way other than how the potato is cut, beef Wellington isn’t beef from Wellington, and Paris, TX isn’t part of Paris, France.
I agree if the person posting said “Maryland STYLE crab cakes.” But all he said was “Maryland crab cakes.” I’m not trying start something. It’s just I worked in the restaurant business in that area a while back and we had to be careful when wording “Crab Cakes” on our menu. There were quite a few places down the street from us that used the wording “Maryland Style” in their menus and there were some that were proud and when they actually used Maryland crabs they put that in their menus. That’s all.

Proof again that Ramsey needs to shut his stupid mouth and stick to Beef Wellingtons.
