Hey ya'll....... Notice the qualifier on the recipe title.

MIKE's Maryland Style...... That's cuz I've modified the basic recipe a bit. A well made crab cake does not need any filler, they will stay together just with the sauce.

Botto - the sauce is the binder, especailly because of the use of the egg and the mayo the rest is flavor added.

True, Drew, Maryland style don't have the bell peppers. But these are MIKE'S Maryland Style. You say use crackers, Phillips says to use stale pieces of bread, Emeril says to use bread crumbs. I say no bread and add a few bell peppers.

Every cook has his/her own preferences.

Where have I been...... around doing summer things, grilling and chilling and drinking a lot of GSM, Shiraz, Zinfandel, Zin-Syrah, Syrah, and a bit of Beaujolais. Oh and going to Bal'more to see Cal play. Once against the White Sox and once against the Phillies. Ain't it grand how they beat Philly!!!

Be that as it may, for the purists I am willing to compromise. Let us change the title to Mikes Southern Style Crabcakes, eh!
