Local food: Crabcakes! along with locally brewed beer - Backfin ale, another reference to crabs. This is the local stuff you'll get at Camden Yards. Lots of local dishes are crab-related, Maryland Crab soup, Soft shell crabs, crabcakes, and then you can of course munch on those crabs in their natural state. In Maryland they're boiled, and served with tons of Old Bay Spice. Don't think you eat them with a fork and a knife - you do get a knife but it will be accompanied by a wooden mallet - perfect to whack the shell with.

Yum, that looks good; the beer looks perfectly matched, too! Is it a local beer?
Yes, it's brewed in Westminster, MD by the Clay Pipe Brewery. That's their Backfin India Pale Ale - very tasty!
