Default Mini BB party in MD

To anyone interested, Sherry and I are planning a gathering at Gunnings, a seafood (= CRABS) restaurant in Maryland near BWI airport. If you've never had their crabcakes, that's reason enough to come join us, they are the biggest and best in the world - Sherry and Murray and Corrine and Steve and Amy and Chris will all back me up on this! The bonus is that they have delicious PBR (that's Pabst Blue Ribbon for all you white collars ) on tap. And wait until they try and stuff a dessert into your stuffed belly - SO TASTY!

The tentative date is Saturday Dec 9 at 6 PM, send a PM to Sherry or me for more details. Bon apetit!

Sorry Kevin, but I'll be in Aruba! (If it makes you feel any better, I'm sure I'll be crying that night as it will be the last night of my trip.)

But, if you want to move the party to Aruba (how about dinner at Madame Janette?), I'd love to join you!

me too. murray and willie need more bonding time, lol.

this should be a fun evening but if you aren't within 100 miles or so it could be a bit much just for an evening. however, the meal is really great. the place is relaxed. jeans are appropriate. designated drivers are appropriate.

OH CRACKERS. We're throwing our annual seasonal get-together that same day. Dangit. I was reading it salivating over the thought of good crabcakes and thinking how it's not a far drive, etc. Dangit.

well, since this dinner is actually only 25 minutes from my house i guess i won't be picking you up but i sure hope you can make it anyway. i know it's a long way to drive for dinner but the food is good and the company is better.

Let's find a way to make it happen - how far away are you from there?

speaking of the mini bb party... we were at gunnings this weekend with arubanutz (amy and chris) and had a fabulous dinner. the place is casual, jeans are more than accepted, the prices are not super cheap but the food is worth much more than they charge. oh, and the menu on line is only a very partial menu.

have i tempted anyone extra????

Thumbs up Re: Mini BB party in MD

We had a wonderful dinner here with Sherry & Murray last weekend. The food is fantastic and the atmosphere is very comfy. Besides having delicious, huge crabcakes, they also have the best flounder I've ever tasted!! The prices are very reasonable as they provide a LOT of food.

Chris is presenting a photography workshop that day/night so I'll be coming solo. I'm looking forward to seeing Kevin, Kathleen, Sherry & Murray. So who else is coming??? You won't be disappointed.

you heard it guys... the food is great at this place. (save room for the chocolate eclair.)

please let me know who will be there. it is about 5 minutes from bwi airport and right off the highway so easy to find. the dinner will be at 6pm so that anyone who has to drive a distance won't get home too late.

i need to know by wednesday who will be there so i can set up a reservation.

here is their website. the menu only shows a small portion of the choices. the prices are reasonable, the food is great, and we are all great company!
