What stereotypes are there about Maryland?
Maryland is a state with a lot of pride, but that doesn't mean all Marylanders are the same. Sure, we have more state-flag apparel than anyone in any other state... and we really love crabs... but surely, there's more to the Old Line state than crabs and flags? Right? Well, Marylanders are also known for being avid boaters, we're pretty quick to defend Natty Boh, and we'll put Old Bay on just about everything. Maybe these stereotypes about Marylanders have some teeth, after all.
What are the most popular foods in Maryland?
The cuisine in Maryland is the best in the country! Not only will you find the world's best steamed crabs and crab cakes here, but we're also home to Old Bay, the tastiest and most versatile seasoning on Earth. Anyone with a sweet tooth will be quick to mention that both Otterbein's and Berger cookies are easy to find here, and Baltimore's Pit Beef has made a name for itself as the best interpretation of BBQ in the region. Ocean City has made a name for itself with delicious salt water taffy, crabby Bloody Mary cocktails, and the best boardwalk fries you'll ever try, from Thrashers, served with vinegar. Maryland truly is a foodie's dream come true!
Which tiny restaurants in Maryland are worth trying?
