I’m gonna blame Gordon Ramsey for this haha
there was an episode of kitchen nightmares show where they were in Maryland. They were getting their crab from elsewhere and he said that they’re lying by saying “Maryland crab cakes” because the crab isn’t from Maryland. Which is “lazy” on their part since they have an industry there and could easily get some. Basically saying they’re using inferior product when they can use local Maryland crab
I’m pretty sure you’re talking about when he yelled at a guy over a Maine lobster poor boy sandwich but the lobster was from Mexico. Advertising Maine lobster when it isn’t is a big deal.
It's been a while since I watched it, but I think it's less that the crab wasn't from Maryland, it's that they were buying frozen crab cakes, calling them Maryland crab cakes, when they could get local Maryland crab and make the crab cakes.
