Maryland-style crab cakes, pit beef, and Old Bay wings
"It’s a little over 1,500 miles from Austin to Baltimore, but you wouldn’t know it after eating a spread of Maryland-style crab cakes and Old Bay wings at this East Austin truck. As much as we’d love to spend $25 on a daily lunch of crab cakes, our financial advisors just aren’t having it. Fortunately, Old Bay wings make up a large portion of the tiny menu here, and they’re a testament to how well chicken pairs with Baltimore’s signature celery-salt spice blend. Grab a crab cake to share with a friend, then fill up on chicken wings and the massive pit beef sandwich." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
"We never understood the hype around Old Bay seasoning until the first time we tried Old Bay wings—a Baltimore classic—and realized just how well chicken pairs with the celery-salt-heavy spice blend. The Marylander’s wings come in three varieties that share the same signature base, plus either butter, honey, or buffalo sauce. We like the honey variety—they’re tender inside, crispy to the bite, and coated in a sticky glaze that complements the hint of spice." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
"The Marylander is bringing a little New England to East Austin, in the same food truck lot as Desnudo Coffee. The menu here is almost entirely crab-based, which means crab benedict, crab cakes, and crab cake sandwiches. And if you’re showing up to a Maryland-inspired food truck and not in the mood for crab—first, why are you here?—there’s also Old Bay chicken wings and a Baltimore-style pit beef sandwich. We visited The Marylander and added it to the Hit List." - nicolai mccrary
"This East Austin food truck has been dishing out Maryland-style dishes since late March. This includes — yes — many crab items like crab cake, crab Benedict, and crab dip. For non-seafood choices, there’s a pit beef sandwich and Old Bay-seasoned chicken wings. Takeout orders can be placed in person or online; there are outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury
"We never understood the hype around Old Bay seasoning until the first time we tried Old Bay wings—a Baltimore classic—and realized just how well chicken pairs with celery salt. You can probably guess the theme of The Marylander’s menu (hint: there’s a lot of crab) and while we really enjoyed the crab cake benedict, the wings are what we’ll be coming back to this food truck for. We like the honey Old Bay variety—they’re tender inside, crispy to the bite, and coated in a sticky glaze that goes great with that hint of spice. " - nicolai mccrary
