Join the Registry — Free
Since October 2018 I have eaten and scored more than 850 bowls of cream of crab soup. Registry membership is free, and it is the only way to get the Maryland Food Dispatch: every Thursday morning, where Maryland should eat this weekend.
Where should you eat this weekend?
Every Thursday: a new Cream of Crab score, Maryland restaurants worth trying, food events, and one Crab File. The Maryland Food Dispatch.
Every Thursday. Unsubscribe anytime. What members get →
What members receive
The Maryland Food Dispatch
Weekly, Thursday morning. Bowl of the Week, three places worth eating this weekend, one Crab File, upcoming food events, a stat from the registry, and where I'm going next.
New scores first
Members hear about new bowls and revisits before the video posts. The spreadsheet does not wait for the algorithm.
The sealed log, eventually
Bowls #1–802 — eight years of evaluations — open to registry members as the archive is prepared. Members will be the first inside.
Giveaways and expeditions
Crabbing charters, festival tickets, the occasional seat at the table. Members get the invitation; everyone else gets the recap.
What membership does not do
It does not change a score. Scores are not for sale, including to members. Cancel anytime — the spreadsheet will notice, but it will understand.
