What is your favorite restaurant? So ask the Daily Writing prompt on this sunny morning in the Mid-Atlantic region.
What is my favorite restaurant depends on what I’m in the mood to eat. Each place has its specialties. I’m unlikely to get the best steak at my favorite crab house. I could flip a coin to any of the first 3 below for my favorite.
I’d have to say Fagers Island in Ocean City. (The Hobbit in OC is a close second)

Corner Stable on York Road – Best BBQ Baby Back Ribs – Still one of my favorites. I have eaten there on my birthdays for a lot of years.
The rest I still love to eat at.
Pappas Crab House – Best Crabcakes
Stella Notte – Best local Italian
Shannons Pub – Best local comfort food.
Canopy – Best Pit Beef, fries, cole slaw around
Dumsers – best after-dinner ice cream deserts in Ocean City
Food is one of the great blessings many of us take for granted. I love to eat, you can see we go out a bit. I never take this for granted. I try to contribute to the Maryland Food Bank a few times a year and I’ve got to do more for them this year.
My parent’s generation taught us there were days when there wasn’t food because they grew up in the Great Depression. There was a different appreciation for meals. How families gathered is different than today’s rushed schedules.
Be grateful for those who grow and raise our food and bring it to market.
Be thankful for your meal today.
