One of our regular clients, Jerry’s Seafood Restaurants, is launching a new fast casual concept of crab cake restaurants. They’ve brought in a tremendous executive chef and the first location should open in Annapolis (of course) this winter.

Those of us lucky enough to call the Chesapeake region our home understand the concept of the crab deck. For those poor souls outside of the area – think tiki bar minus the mai tai. Add in steamed blue crabs and that’s the idea.  We’ve shot Cantler’s 6 or 7 times over the years so it’s always fun to try and get a new perspective.

From our continuing work with Taste of the Bay magazine. Garry’s Grill has been a family favorite in Severna Park for a while so when we got the chance to work with them I was excited.

I’ve shot some interesting cocktails for Baltimore recently. One from the Gin Mill and a couple from Annabel Lee, both in the Canton area of town. Both taverns have some offbeat takes on some classics, as well as some creations of their own.
