Nearly every Monday night for the past 16 years Mitch says "There isn't a place in all of Columbus, maybe anywhere, that's eating better than this." After a hiatus of a few years, we're bringing our food pictures back. So, we'll post photos of all the great meals we wish you were here to have with us.

Soft Shell Crab Sandwiches.....are you kidding me!!!!
This is the season for soft shell crab. Within a month or so the shells will be hard. While they're soft the whole crab is tasty. We devoured two dozen of these beauties. Special guest was Aunt Jeanette.
Ingredients: Vegetable oil, for frying 3 large eggs 1 cup milk 1 cup beer (Victory if you please) 2 cups all-purpose flour 4 soft shell crabs (or 24 if you can find them) 4 sandwich buns Tartar sauce (if you're lucky Michael will make his special sauce) Sliced tomato, for serving Lettuce leaves, for serving Thinly sliced onion, for serving DIRECTIONS Heat about 3 inches of oil in a saucepan to about 400 degrees In a medium bowl, mix eggs, milk and beer until creamy. Put flour in a separate bowl. Dip soft shell crabs into wet batter and then dip into flour. Drop battered crab into hot oil. Fry crab for 3 minutes on each side or until golden. Serve on buns, with tartar sauce, tomato, lettuce and onion.
Soft shell crabs are my favorite food in the world. Are you finding them in a grocery now? Which one? I've discovered them over the years at The Claremont and the Athletic Club... and once, years ago at Kroger's. Please, a clue.
