Hey Zilla

P.S. I learned how to make crab cakes. Real ones. All other crab cakes bow before my crab cakes.
 
You know, I love crab cakes that are all crab, no binder. Bread crumbs are overrated as a binder.

I am into the bread crumbs, as long as they are not overdone. They are there mainly as a way to make the crab stretch further, not because they add anything to the crab cake. I like just a little though.
 
Some folk use pollack for a binder.

That's really brilliant, actually.

So I use panko to coat the crab cakes so they get all brown and crunchy. In the mixture, I use the tiniest amount of breadcrumbs, an egg, chopped holy trinity, garlic, stoneground mustard and sri racha.

Tell me your method so I can steal it!

Of course, panko! Are you mad, woman? What other way is there?

Similar to yours but I also use chopped red pepper and scallions instead of onion...and mayo. DON'T LAUGH I LIKE IT THAT WAY. Mayo is fucking good shit. Don't make me feel bad for using mayo!

Mayo is guilt free if you make it yourself.

Mayo is among the four necessary food groups... bacon, cheese, mayo and chocolate. I do not judge.

This is so true. I actually felt really dumb after I figured out how easy it is to make.

I've never used panko... is it really different from plain bread crumbs?
 
On another note, if Julia Childs was coming over for dinner (this is a fantasy, stay with me) what would you prepare for her?
