"This diner-style restaurant in Baltimore, led by chef-owner Jesse Sandlin, is known for comforting, seafood-friendly fare where hush puppies play a starring role alongside crab feasts. Sandlin uses a pink-hued “unicorn” cornmeal for a distinctive visual flair (though yellow or white cornmeal works just as well) and often adds corn kernels for extra pops of sweetness; scallions, lemon zest, and buttermilk in the batter produce golden, lumpy fritters that provide a mellow, slightly sweet counterpoint to spicy, salty crab seasoning. The hush puppies are presented as a versatile, homey accompaniment meant to balance and enhance rich Maryland crab flavors." - Kat Thompson
