Cantler’s Riverside Inn is the most popular restaurant in Maryland, according to People magazine.

The magazine’s food section recently released a list of the most popular restaurants in each state and Washington, D.C. Cantler’s, a longtime Annapolis crab house, was named No. 1 for Maryland.

People’s food editors considered a range of factors to determine the most popular restaurants restaurant in every state, according to the list, including expert opinions from Zagat, diner ratings and Google scores. They paid “special attention to spots sourcing local ingredients and serving iconic or regionally inspired food,” the list said.

In Maryland, that meant looking for the best spots to crack open crabs.

“Marylanders say the sweet, Old Bay-crusted Chesapeake blue crabs are the best around — and Cantler’s is the most authentic place to enjoy them as you sit on the deck overlooking lovely Mill Creek,” the description on People’s website reads.

Cantler’s is located at 458 Forest Beach Road.

The full list is available here.

Chinese culinary treats are good!

 

"Because those things you see steamed are usually made from rice flour as opposed to wheat flour. You could use rice flour to bake but they usually won’t turn out well as rice flour is pretty temperamental for baking. They become dry very quickly.

What is the history of Chinese bakeries?

The Chinese have had ovens since time immemorial. The question is, where are you residing?

That is how you get your delicious plate of cha siew and roast chicken.

The very famous Peking duck is done in an oven too

An oven in Xinjiang baking bread. Made from wheat.

Peanut candy. A childhood love. The origin of these baked confections date back centuries.

Rice puff crackers. They are baked (sometimes fried). In the baking process, they expand and dry up quickly. That is why rice is not often used as a baking dough.

Moon cakes, the food of a rebellion. The dough is made from wheat.

Archaeology digs in South East Asia have revealed ovens (baking) and kilns (pottery) where enclaves of immigrants of Chinese once lived centuries ago. The last remaining dragon kiln in Singapore was recently brought back to life.

One of the main reasons why you may not see many oven baked goods is likely due to your locality.

China is a very big place with many differing cultures. Some include baking in their culinary art, some do not."
