Are Crab Cakes Keto Friendly? No, regular crab cakes are not keto friendly, as they use wheat flour breadcrumbs as a binder. Typical packaged crab cakes have 8-10 grams of carbs in just one crab cake, which often isn’t enough for a whole meal, so you’re eating 2-3 times that if you have several as a main dish. As for restaurants? Breadcrumbs are almost always used as a binder and filler, but the amount used will vary based on recipe and quality; higher quality crab cakes will have more crab and less filler....

When I was eight years old my family moved to southern California, where I spent the next six years of my life, before returning to the east coast. I attribute those six years of sunshine to my current fondness for winter. I missed the snow! The winter of 1993/1994, immediately following my family’s return from California, was one roughest winters on record. We seemed to get buried in snow at least once a week....

‘Tis the Season I hate ordering cutesy names off a menu. In fact, most of the time I refuse.

Or I may land on the “Long Slow Screw Against a Wall,” but I’ll order “the lemongrass shooter” instead. I simply refuse to order the cutesy, cutesy names. Sorry, not sorry....

We didn’t eat exotic food growing up. Indian food, authentic Thai, and street tacos? Those were all foods I explored with my friends on the weekend. We weren’t spending each weekend at field parties, drinking Whatever Light, and sneaking in after curfew. No, we’d try a new curry house in town and leave haikus written on napkins for the servers. Then we’d dash to the park with our typewriters, belting Rogue Wave with the windows rolled down on the drive there....
