We tried Red Crab for the first time this past weekend and really enjoyed them. Virginia is pushing the Red Crab as an alternative to Blue Crab since the later has dropped in population. We prepared them the same way we would Blue Crabs but we also ate them with butter—I never do that with the Blue.
Overall worth trying and pretty tasty. We bought ours at Uncle Chuck’s Seafood and Produce in Virginia Beach, VA, at the VB Farmers Market.
The Creative Wedge in Virginia Beach, VA hosted a book signing by local author and columnist Lorraine Eaton. Her book Tidewater Table is collection of local recipes that includes original recipes from the United States’ first cookbooks.The Wedge had samples out and a delicious caramelized onion & balsamic dip I could quit eating (they sent some home with me!)
Lorraine was great, taking the time to talk to customers about her book and food in the area.

We finally tried Bonchon while were were running around the DC area. We drove to Arlington, VA and parked across the street. The inside of the restaurant was very nice and it was packed. There was a short wait before we were able to sit and order. The menu is small, showcasing their double-fried chicken. We ordered half hot and half soy & garlic. We also asked for the pickled radish, kimchi slaw. Since we love bulgolgi we ordered a plate and some mandoo, which are fried pork dumplings. Everything was great and he had enough leftover for lunch the next day.

Didn’t know it, but Wawa sells quesadillas. We bought a chicken with guacamole and it was huge. Tastes good too :)
July 4th over at our friends John & Connie’s. He made a delicious pulled pork and hung out at the tiki bar; even had a few jello shots. I included a photo of a smoked corned beef brisket he made for the next day. Looked beautiful.
Marleigh made me a Black Bean Taco recently. It was delicious!
