Leonardtown, MD - December 9, 2004

Nook & Monks is perhaps the greatest restaurant in the world.  Ever. Several people I've brought there have told me that their crabcakes are the best they've ever had, and for people brought up on the Chesapeake, that's saying something.

Update 3/17/08: It pains me deeply to say this, but Nook and Monks is no longer Nook and Monks. From what I can gather online, the owners divorced and, well... it got messy. This is now the site of a Mexican restaurant, which is distinctly better than certain alternative fates.
