  • One Crabby Afternoon at Obrycki’s Crab House – Baltimore, MD

    Just a photo diary and thoughts from the best Crab House in Baltimore:

    I'll have the crab...
    I'll have the crab…and everything else. Yes – I'll take one of everything.

    Start with a delicious Crabby Mary. Crab claw, old bay infused, with a peppered rim. Taste O' the Sea!

    1 lb of snow crab legs dipped in clarified butter. Holy moly
    1 lb of snow crab legs dipped in clarified butter. Holy moly. Wash it down with Obrycki's signature lager, produced locally.
    Maryland blue crabs before they entered my belly
    Maryland blue crabs moments before they entered my belly. Well, no – considering that it takes me like, 45 minutes to pry one of these suckers apart – they had longer than that.

    Sorry there isn’t more.  This place has freakishly good crab.  Like, prepare-to-fall-out-of-your-chair-into-the-little-trash-can-they-put-next-to-you-so-you-don’t-make-the-kind-of-mess-Todd-did good.

    Goodbye for now Obrycki’s.  I’ll be back, and this time you better be ready.  I’m bringing my paycheck and pants with an elastic waistband.

  • Hostage Photos = Hilarious!

    So how terrible would this be: you’ve been taken prisoner in North Korea. You don’t know when you’re coming home – you could rot in jail for the rest of your life.

    You finally get released, and here is the photo that the national/international news media uses (from CNN frontpage):

    The woman loves her hoagies.  Gotta respect that!

  • D.C. Councilman hates delicious late night pizza

    Apparently Washington D.C. Councilman Orville Redenbacher does not like his late night Jumbo Slice -O- Pizza.  I think that Dr. Bowtie forgot that Jumbo Slice [a string of pizza joints selling slices of pizza the size of your torso as late night drunk munchies] is located amongst about 1000 bars and clubs in Adam’s Morgan, a D.C. neighborhood.  Maybe that is what is causing the crime problem?  I’m no expert on urban crime, but drugs and booze in rowdy clubs where folks are stepping on sneakers, spilling drinks, and hitting on girlfriends could be the culprit here.  Leave the innocent pizza alone!
