New Austin Food Truck the Marylander Opens With Crab Cakes | Eater Austin
"A new food truck in Austin is showcasing Maryland’s crab-forward cuisine after opening in East Austin at 2502 Webberville Road in late March. It serves lots of crab dishes, including a crab Benedict (a poached egg atop a small crab cake on a crumpet from local bakery Texas French Bread), a crab cake and a crab cake sandwich served on Texas French Bread’s sweet roll, and a crab dip with crudité and a baguette; owner and chef Rayden Timple notes the crab cake isn’t deep-fried and that he is stringent about using fresh lump crab (though not Chesapeake Bay blue crabs). The menu also includes a non-seafood Baltimore staple— a pit beef sandwich that’s sous-vided, charcoal-grilled, and thinly sliced—plus chicken wings seasoned with various Old Bay iterations (Old Bay butter, honey, and Buffalo) and sides like elotes, coleslaw, and potato salad. Timple, a born-and-raised Marylander who moved to Austin after college, drew on family recipes and on experience gained working the food truck kitchen at Delray Cafe during a Simpsons pop-up, and he received guidance from Papi’s Hoagies’ owner Matthew Park and manager Manny; the truck’s logo even depicts the iconic Old Bay container. Hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Wednesday through Sunday." - Nadia Chaudhury
