Best Crab Cake
Regi’s American Bistro
1002 Light St., (410) 539-7344
Did you really think we would send you to an Anne Arundel County factory for a damn crab cake, especially when there’s an outstanding specimen right here in the city? Always cozy Regi’s, a pioneering Federal Hill bistro, pan-sears its jumbo lump crab cake, held together with just enough mayonnaise and panko (those totally-in Japanese-style bread crumbs) and seasoned with a sprinkling of parsley and a soupçon of Dijon mustard. Throw in some smashed roasted garlic potatoes and seasonal vegetables, and what you’ve got is a thoroughly up-to-date and citified adaptation of the classic Eastern Shore crab cake. And unlike so many other restaurants with masterful crab cakes, the rest of Regi’s menu isn’t crap.
