As a JHU alum, when I go back to Baltimore, I stick to an all crab cake diet and have to have them at least once at each of the following: Faidley's, Alonso's in Roland Park, McCabe's in Hampden, and Obrycki's in Fells Point. They are all different but they are all superb. Am still in mourning for the crab cakes (and Italian salad) at the recently closed Marconi's. Sometimes hit G&M on the way to the airport, but I agree with the person who said it is more about size than taste.
