![]() On the episode George made Hungarian Goulash for Guy and after tasting it, Guy told him it was "Gouliscious"!. I told him that I had been there a few years back and that my meal had been "Gouliscious" and that made him laugh. We talked all about the filming and his time with Guy, he had nothing but great tings to say about it. While I was enjoying the meal, Uncle George came over and signed my book. The shrimp were big and plentiful! It was delicious and had a small creole spice bite. Many places that have this have mostly rice and vegetables and few shrimp, not in this case. I knew that I had to get him to sign my book! I got my meal and it was a huge portion! The plate didn't look large but it was large and plentiful. On the episode he and Guy had a great time together and I think it was probably the first and maybe only time during the show that Guy asked for the crew to reshow a cooking procedure in slo-motion. I spent about 5 minutes perusing the menu and decided to they the Shrimp and Rice Creole dinner special that came with soup or salad and I chose the Crab Soup, which was a tomato based broth, loaded with crab and vegetables.Īs I waited for y meal, I saw a gentleman come out of the kitchen and sit at a booth just a few ahead of me and I recognized him as the owner and chef of the Broadway Diner, George Kavourakis, affectionately nick named by Guy as "Uncle George". As is usual at a diner, the menu is huge, probably 8 pages filled with items and breakfast, lunch and dinners are always available at the Open 24 Hours, Broadway Diner. I was seated at a small booth near the kitchen entrance. they staff was friendly right as I entered the place. This visit was going to be so much better than my first visit. The "Broadway Diner" is in northern Baltimore and is a classic Jersey-style diner, lots of silver stainless steel, a huge menu, and run by a very Greek family! The next place I wanted to get to was a place that I had been to several years ago and to be hones really didn't think too much of it, but since it was in the book I wanted to give it another chance. I had a great meal with a good friend, I said goodbye to Tammy and she headed back home. I highly recommend this place, it is just off the Baltimore Beltway at the last exit before the toll to the Francis Scott Key Bridge and near the Under Armour Factory Store. They should really just call it a Crab Sandwich, because there is little to no cake in it, and it is so delicious! On their episode when Guy tasted the Cake, he said to Bill, the Stoney Creek owner and chef, "Hold Me!". ![]() The sandwich came with Stoney Creeks, homemade Old Bay Potato Chips. Very tasty! The Crab Cake Sandwich is something that I eat plain and usually eat the roll separately, I don't want anything to take away from the crab. All four of us shared a Crab Toast, a sub roll opened up and topped with crab meat, cheese and Old Bay seasoning, then toasted. I tried it and it was awesome, I used a fork to try it, that's how thick it was. Tammy's mom chose the Crab Soup, this cream based soup was very, very thick and had crab meat in every spoonful. All four of us chose the Crab Cake Sandwich as our main meal. They have a saying at Stoney Creek, "It's a Crab Cake not a Bread Cake!". They serve, in my opinion, the best Crab meat meals! Crab is my favorite seafood meal, I prefer it over Lobster and when it is done right it is awesome. ![]() I have written several times in this blog about Stoney Creek Inn. We met for lunch on a hot May afternoon at the "Stoney Creek Inn". Tammy is a high school friend of mine and she and her mother and daughter met me at one of my favorite DDD places in the Baltimore area, place known for it's Crab dishes, especially their Crab Cakes. I had some plans for the weekend in the area so I made a few day trip of it and called a friend to see if she wanted to meet and go to one of the local Baltimore DDD locales. ![]() I know that I won't be able to do that for most of them but there are two places featured in Baltimore so I decided to make the short trip to get the book signed at hose locations. As I looked through the book, there are many places featured that I have been to and have the signatures for those places, but I would love to get signatures in the new book as well. I took it on my trip to Texas and got the first signatures during that trip. A few weeks ago in early May 2013, the third DDD book was published, entitled "Diners, Drive-ins ,and Dives The Funky Finds in Flavortown". ![]()
