Agrees the sweet peppers bring out the sweet in the crab. So, where’s the winning recipe???

I was so excited for leftovers until I heard a muffled “Crabcakesgood” from behind the modular synthesizer. I think my husband inhaled them too quickly to notice a difference in the cooking styles.

I personally preferred Uncle Crappy’s recipe because you could really taste the sweetness of the crab, but Kim’s cakes were authentic Maryland-style and the Penzey spice was to die for.

I think the judging could really go either way on “Any Given Sunday”. How about next Sunday? I’ll brink the cake.

I agree, no losers last night. Both crab cakes were excellent. I loved that they were both so different.

Oh, and I’d be happy to be a judge in any Iron Chef battle in the future too!

Sounds like it was very successful!

Every single time I make crabcakes I make them differently. I have a general list of ingredients (in my head, mostly) but they taste a little different every time.

I don’t want a piece of you but I would LOVE to try one of those crabcakes.

I’m glad tonight’s panel was a bit more accepting of the extra spice; if I had tried to feed those to my mother I would have blown her head off.

And seriously, your cakes were excellent. I’d be thrilled to have them again sometime.

I messed up too. Forgot the white pepper in the first batch.

I liked the contrasting styles. The aioli was very nice too. Worked well with the spice.

The black strap, or whatever you choose. Mrs Crappy is a lucky woman.
