Never been to the Double D Diner.  Our place of choice is 
Stoneys...whose original location was right on the Patuxent River, just 
a few miles up the river from the Bay.  The crabs they served were 
usually caught by their own crabbers the morning of the day they were 
served.  Even the Food Critic of the Washington Post rates their crab 
cakes as just about the best around.  So...dear Niccolo, you should plan 
a trip up this way and I'll be delighted to take you to Stoneys for crab 
cakes...and who knows?  We might even sneak in a Nationals game!
