What's one US food invention you wouldn't want to live without? Hot dogs? Hamburgers? Something less basic?

Proper crab cakes. Unfortunately 99.9% of the country doesn't do it right, so you basically have to travel to very specific parts of Maryland to actually understand the hype.

Fortunately, they're easy to make.

As long as you can get fresh crab. The canned lump stuff can definitely make a good cake, but the fresh stuff is still a pretty big step up.

I would never willingly live somewhere that does not have fresh crab available.
