Experiencing the Sacred Cakes of Smith Island, Maryland
Patrolling the narrow streets of the small fishing village of Smith Island—only accessible by boat somewhere in the middle of the choppy Chesapeake Bay—locals point out the Drum Point Market, which serves the famous crab cakes and ten-layer Smith Island Cake. The sandwich is succulent and juicy, made fresh by the women of the island; the stratified cake, rich and sweet made possibly with only butter and sugar. Sitting on the hard, plastic chairs with plastic plates on a red vinyl table-mat, cocktail sauce dripping out from between the bread and the meat, mouths water as the romance and tales of this far-flung island finally prove themselves to be true.
