The crabcakes and blue crabs are big in Maryland of course, but Baltimore does have an awesome Little Italy. Very popular and some great restaurants all within a couple blocks. Baltimore is also known for Pit Beef sandwiches.
That is what I am going with.
Struck out this morning on acquiring a 5lb+ roast beef on sale since the sale ended yesterday.
Will procure one tomorrow morning and marinate it white wine and non-salt spices and herbs for 48+ hours to throw on the rotisserie on Sunday Afternoon.
What bread is used for these Pit Beef Sandwiches in Baltimore?

Berger Cookies? "A beloved treat in Baltimore, these cookies consist of a soft shortbread base topped with a thick layer of chocolate frosting. They have been a staple since the 1830s and can be found at various bakeries throughout the city."
No Blue Crab here on the West Coast - mostly Dungeness Crab. I don't like seafood anyway.
I never heard of Pit Beef sandwiches before but they sound good.
The cookies and dessert in that link look good but I don't have a sweet tooth so I tend to only make that for special occasions when we have guests over.

I've eaten wings all 3 games so far. Wife makes em for me with a platter of veggies and blue cheese to dip. I can't stop that trend now.
No I agree.
Stick with what wins.

The Crab in a carton in the cold section of Costco is very good and fairly priced.
I could do that.
Thanks.
I have a membership there and never go.

Hopefully not Crow ... I do have some Crab in the freezer but it's Snow not Blue, it's a start anyway.
What the crab in the tin is what I am using.
I imagine Blue Crab would be over $20.00/lb here unless I head downtown to the Asian Grocer but I would rather avoid that journey if possible.
I don't respect Baltimore enough to make that effort.

I guess everyone is still full from Monday Night.
Fair enough.

I am still working through the left overs from the MNF game but eventually the focus needs to be on Baltimore.
Can't really source Blue Crab up here at any reasonable cost.
Pit Beef is certainly doable => Pit beef is a beef roast that is cooked over hot charcoal and then sliced paper-thin. It’s stacked on a roll, typically with onion, horseradish, and barbecue sauce. The iconic pit beef is grilled in many ways, from using wood-flavored barbecues, spicy sauces, or dry rubs. https://www.koonsclarksvillechevybuickgmc.com/blogs/4775/7-iconic-foods-from-baltimore
I haven't used the meat slicer for a while so it will be refreshing to slice the roast "paper-thin".
So my early thoughts are to make my Garlic Butter Stuffed with Crab Giant Mushrooms as an appetizer and Pit Beef Sandwiches.
Any ideas?

No worries. I'll just imagine the great flavors...and the JKC Wings franchises, soon to open.
This may be one of THE best meals I ever made.
The wings are outstanding.
I gave each wing a good shake before I put it on the grill and kept all the marinate. Put it in my blender for a minute and used it to brush the wings liberally after they were almost cooked on the grill for another 5 minutes on each side. Caramelized real nice.
The shrimp I marinated this morning in fresh lemon and lime juice, some spices and some Frank's. Threw them in once the grits/polenta was done and stirred themin. The heat of the grits/polenta cooked the raw shrimp. Very yummy.
Finally I found some 50% discounted Buffalo Steaks on Saturday Morning and marinated them in no salt steak spice, lemon juice and olive oil. Seared them at 600F and they were so tender.
Plenty of left overs so the family, friends and I will be eating very well this week.

@HIT BY SPIKES If you get a chance, please post image of the final JKC wings or, hell, even what they look like in the marinade. Very interesting approach: well done, sir.
I would love to Duke however I simply don't know how to post photos here.
Any assistance and I would gladly do it.

I can go either way.
The Sunday Afternoon games tend to be festive with plenty of food so I enjoy watching the Bills game with friends.
Thursday Night, Sunday Night and Monday Night games I tend to watch alone since even though I plan to have a nap in the Afternoon if I have a very physical day on the property, I might start fading in the 2nd quarter and prefer to watch the game in bed.

Bread and water as I am currently in the hoosegow.
Hang in there brethren.
Life will get better starting with tonight when the Bills win to start the season at 3-0.
Plus unlike me, you won't have Bum Bum Burning on Tuesday Morning from this super hot looking Jacksonville Korean Chicken Wings.

We are doing Italian Beef sandwiches. With it being a Monday Night game everyone comes at such random times. It’s hard to figure out what to do. I wanted to do something in a crockpot so that it doesn’t matter when people arrive. We are heading out about 3 but it seems like people will be later tomorrow.
A crockpot is always a good idea but it is typically for colder weather and tomorrow night should be beautiful in OP unless it rains.
Wait...Is the forecast for rain?
Crockpot Soup would work then.
Buffalo Chicken Wing Soup always goes over well.

You can probably find instant grits in any supermarket grocery store, in the cereal section.
Add some heat for killer shrimp and grits.
I have got some hot sauce.
Should I make this grits/coarse polenta with water or milk?

7 lbs of fresh whole chicken wings now marinating at the back of the fridge marinating until Monday in that Korean Kimchi Wing Sauce.
NOT going to fry them.
Going to grill or smoke them on the Big Green Egg.
Fresh raw shrimp acquired for the Shrimp and Grits.

Here's a link to help you decide what's best for you. https://www.allrecipes.com/article/polenta-vs-grits/
Personally, I'm just using this kind.
Thank you brethren.
I have NOT even seen that brand in Canada.
Found this....
Are polenta and grits the same thing?
Since polenta and grits are both made from ground corn, you can use them interchangeably. Bear in mind that grits are higher in starch than polenta, so if you sub in polenta for grits, you won't have to stir it as frequently, but it won't cook up as creamy as grits.

Grits with cheddar cheese and shrimp. And, Labatts Blue.
So I looked for grit meal and although we have plenty of polenta in my area, grit meal is much more difficult to find.
Found this but it will take an hour out of my day driving to and from the store to buy it....
Question -- I notice that the labelling says "also known as polenta" (I am going to make Shrimp and Grits as a side dish)...Do you think I can get away with using course polenta?

I used to get Firehouse Subs because retired JaxFD founded it, but we lost the last two, so I found a recipe for Northwest Florida Garlic Crabs
I have one 5 blocks from me however they are so expensive.
Great quality but big Canadian Dollars.

The garlic butter is used to brush the outside of the stuffed mushroom so it bakes or grills into the mushroom.
I usually use very large White Button Mushrooms but since this is such a BIG game for the Bills I may use Portobello Mushrooms.
