Buy the crap crab in the blue can (from the Philippines) and use it for your crab cakes-like the restaurants in SOMD.I have some experience trying to make crabcakes outside of Maryland, and the problem is....the lack of good crab. I'm not averse to Phillips jumbo lump in the can if that's what's available, but Texas doesn't even have that.
I have only one time had a crabcake outside of Maryland that was worth a damn, and that was at a place 2A and Sharon took us to in Sarasota area. And the owners were from - you guessed it - Maryland. I have seen many tragedies that have been labeled "Maryland style crabcake" on the menu, and turned out to be veggie burgers with Walmart Great Value canned "crabmeat".
Does it have anchovies?One of my Italian friends went back to Naples to visit her family. She makes the trip a couple of times a year, but she couldn't travel until the summer. Now, they're kind of stuck -as Naples is locking them down again. Anyway, she promised to send me pics of my favorite Italian foods while she was there.
100% authentic Napolitano pizza! ❤

We bought one of these Pizza ovens a few years ago and love it. They have gone up in price since then but compared to the cost building a brick oven in your backyard you can’t beat it. You can make great pizza with it
Ooni Pro 16 Multi-Fuel Pizza Oven
Multiple fuel options for maximum cooking versatility Fire with wood or charcoal right out of the box, or with gas with the Ooni Pro 16 Gas Burner (burner not included). Reaches 950°F (500°C) in just 20 minutes Cooks incredible stone-baked fresh pizza in as little as 60 seconds! Extra-large...ooni.com
They have smaller ones that run on propane and another in wood pellets. We have actually been thinking about getting one of the one in the links below for our RV. The quality of the one we use at home is top notch. If you are considering keep an eye out they often have sales with significant savings.That oven is quite large otherwise it would be Monello's Christmas present.
Most of the time we don't have trouble finding good pizza wherever we are but for some reason SPI has no good pizza. We should open a MOD franchise here and make million$$$.
The only reason the OP might say that is - because he's barely been away from NY or NJ, and should be sent back swiftly and never permitted to leave again.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.Does it have anchovies?
Except that they are disgusting.Not that there's anything wrong with that.
The last time I had anchovy on my pizza, they had to open up a new tin of them. Said that not many people ask for them. BTW a true Caesar salad is made with anchovies. I think a lot of people that order them are unaware of this secret ingredient. Same with Worcestershire sauce.Except that they are disgusting.
I've always ordered the anchovies on the side so I can add what I want to my pizza. Although that means they are not baked with my pizza, I prefer not to have one topping completely overtake all the others.The last time I had anchovy on my pizza, they had to open up a new tin of them.

Wait...wasnt that prize I won from Cody? It was the popcorn, I think you called it Cody Crack.One thing we have learned in our travels is that many cities/states can import a signature dish from a completely different region and do it justice, but also many times the famous place is worth the shouting.
Sparky's in Hatch, NM, home of the world famous (and rightfully so) Hatch green chile cheeseburger. Although I had one at the Burger Shack in Port Isabel the other day that was a serious contender.
The best seafood chowder in the US ( and I will fight anyone who says different) is at a place called Maine Diner in Wells, ME.
But food is also about atmosphere. You can have a good cheesesteak anywhere, but having it on the Boardwalk in Seaside Heights, NJ is an experience. A giant steak at a mecca in Tusayan, AZ surrounded by oohing and aahing Japanese tourists is an experience. That green chile burger in Hatch - Sparky's is an experience. The lobster pounds in New England; the Sunset Grille at 7-mile bridge in the Keys; smoked meat spaghetti at a Montreal dive; BBQ shacks and taco trucks on the side of the road in TX; any eating or drinking in Tombstone AZ.
I don't remember eating anything remarkable in Cody, WY - the fact that you're eating it in Cody is what makes it cool. Monello and I have had a ton of memorable meals, some of them stand alone but just as many are because of the location.
