Feeling crabby? Eat cake!

Who doesn't love a good competition involving food? Strap in kids, Brewery Ommegang is hosting a crab cake cook off on Sunday, December 3rd from 4pm till 7pm at the Ommegang Taphouse. Help decide which local restaurant makes the best crab cakes! Tickets are $10 per person and are available at Scotty’s Pizzeria & Restaurant in Morris. The friendly competition will host local competitors from the Oneonta and Cooperstown area. Please note that beer is not included, and will be sold separately. I could definitely eat my weight in crab cakes with zero regrets given out. Just make sure the crab to other ingredient ratio is correct! Rule number one is to never skimp on the crab. May the best chef win.
