I'm from Baltimore, MD & love Steamed Crabs eaten on brown paper inside a restaurant or @ a picnic table by the water.  It's all yummy !!!  Also, most Baltimore restaurant have a good crab cake 

on their menu.  Don't forget to a glass of cold beer to enjoy with your meal.

I would love to visit Baltimore. I have only been to the airport on the way to D.C. But I want to spend at least a week touring the city. I love seafood which is in short supply in Idaho!

Fish and seafood well-prepared on all our coastlines; New York bagels, corned beef, pastrami; fresh produce in California--especially artichokes.

I love kuchen when I visit my home state, North Dakota.  It is a German or German Russian pastry made in three layers: a crust, a filling (fruit or sour cream-sugar), and a topping of sugar and cinnamon...rich and yummy! It is served with pride at weddings, birthday celebrations, and funerals...and during the holidays.  I make it occasionally (here in New Mexico)...when I'm missing my North Dakota roots.  MW
