German Husband's First Time in Baltimore, Maryland!

[@DeanaandPhil]

Soft-shell crab or Berger Cookies? 😋

[@potatophil8432]

Cheeseburger! :)

[@wtsalive8210]

Think, you meant Maryland and not Marlyand

[@DeanaandPhil]

@@wtsalive8210 Thanks for that!

[@Pielededrac]

I would take both.

[@jdsell]

You have to take Phil to an actual crab-feast, with newspapers on the table and hammers to crack the shells along with pitchers of beer! Don't leave without it - love all your videos, thanks so much for sharing your travels around the world.

[@Insaneian]

Ah, Baltimore. City of my birth. Lived there for 37 years before moving to Chicago. I love my hometown but admittedly I hear some areas have gotten pretty bad. That said, Fell's Point and the Inner Harbor are two of my favorite places in the city. And despite living there for so long, I never had soft shelled crabs, just steamed and of course crab cakes. But Berger Cookies? LOVE those. Glad you had a great time at my old stomping grounds!

[@katdenning6535]

I lived in Annapolis area for 11 years and went to Baltimore regularly. It gets a bad reputation because of its slums but it has a great Harbor area

[@alexanderschwarm7755]

I'm so so happy that this channel exists. Merci Deana and Phil!!!!🤠

[@carllerntdeutsch]

The Baltimore Inner Harbor has a nice German-style/inspired Christmas Market, in somewhat of the style of German Christmas markets, from about Thanksgiving time until just before Christmas. The nice wooden stalls of the front part of the market makes me miss the Christmas markets that I visited in Munich. In 2019 they even added a German-made Christmas "Pyramid" to the market. To anyone near Baltimore or DC in the weeks from Thanksgiving to Christmas, it's definitely worth a visit.

[@DeanaandPhil]

Would you eat that crab? 🦀

[@FreezyAbitKT7A]

I would eat that crab. That is one tasty ocean spider

[@Pielededrac]

I love soft shell crab......I make them myself at home.

[@t.l.c7481]

Maryland has a crab on their flag. There are places that sell incredible crab cakes. In the Winter there’s crab soup. Sehr schmeckt gut!

[@donquichottedeflamingo5916]

Never ever😅

[@brucereynolds3131]

I’d give it a try.

[@psa110]

Again, thanks for the tour. I have been through Baltimore at least a dozen times but never really stopped off to sight see.

[@vernv84]

I love being from Baltimore. We definitely have our own good food culture. Thanks for visiting

[@ran_d_d]

I got this recommended and almost didn’t watch, because I’m an abomination here in Maryland, that doesn’t eat crabs.. I’m glad I watched the other parts though, because it made me so happy to hear nice things about Bmore. So many people that have never visited have such awful things to say about the city on social media. Glad you enjoyed yourselves. 🤘

[@richardschindler8822]

True FRESH soft crabs are only available for a very short time during the year. The rest of the year they have been frozen. I love a good fresh soft crab sandwich, no ketchup, maybe some tartar sauce.

[@ronmcdonald2925]

never put ketchup on soft shell crabs that is a major crime if you need put something on it use hot sauce

[@TheBartmobile]

@@ronmcdonald2925 soft crab sandwiches must have Lettuce, tomato, salt and pepper and MAYO on white bread! NO KETCHUP EVER

[@darensmith5270]

Lots of German- Americans live in Maryland! 🇩🇪🇺🇲🇩🇪

[@LalaliLalalooo]

I love how you're always calling each other "dude". Couple goals! :D

[@gloriastone3211]

Baltimore looks like a great city. I've always wanted to try soft shell crab but still haven't had the chance. The cookies looked yum! Safe travels Deanna and Phil!

[@bflogal18]

I’ve spent almost every Sunday morning for close to 30 yrs, walking to Fells Point for coffee and a bagel. It’s such a beautiful spot. I never get tired of it.

[@notaperson9831]

I lived in fells for a while and walking along the water in the early morning after grabbing a latte from daily grind is the best way to start your day. When it’s humid and misty in the morning and you can smell the bay in the air. That’s Perfection.

[@JB-nz1qn]

So glad you went to Fell's Point! My favorite show Homicide: Life on the Streets was filmed in that building on your video!!!!

[@gingerginger999]

Deana keeps bringing to my attention regional foods I have never come across in the USA(i do live there),love that!. Phil, next time you come across fresh soft shell crabs, try having it pan-fried..DELICIOUS!.

[@roberthamilton6986]

Uss Constallation, over 200 years old and the US Navy's oldest still Comissioned vessel. Actual US Navy active duty sailors work there ⚓ 🇺🇸

[@nickg.7275]

Thanks for taking us around in Baltimore with you. Have never been there. I like it. It's a bit of a holiday 😅

[@CGermanB]

it's a dump, venture a bit outside of the downtown area and you are in pure ghetto. Horrible crime rate.

[@saratemp790]

Baltimore is a cool town. And not too expensive too. There are bad areas, but that helps keeps the prices down in the nice areas.

[@dmoney2761]

I'm from Baltimore and I lived in Darmstadt for 3 years and Regensburg for 2 years. I loved my time in Germany. I love the food, the beer, the Autobahn, the friendly atmosphere and that it is centrally located so I was able to visit so many other European countries because of that. I even own Lederhosen to wear for Oktoberfest!!! lol Germany is my home away from home. Welcome to Baltimore. Come back soon and try the crabcakes!!!

[@wandelndeslexikon1614]

Since I can't travel to the US soon I am very happy about your US tour. Hopefully I can convince my husband to travel to the states one day.

[@jessicaely2521]

Hopefully the US will open to foreigners soon. If you are from EU or Schengen you arent allowed to come to the US unless you go to a different country that the US allows for 10 days.

[@foxroxy86]

If you guys gone to Baltimore again, you should try Nick’s Fish House. You have to have old bay flavored things for it to be an authentic Baltimore experience. Their steamed crabs and crab cakes are so good. Plus it sits on the water. Miss Shirley’s is another spot that’s a must visit.

[@franciscomaytoreable]

Enjoyed the video and Baltimore area everything looked great and the food looks good have a great one and be safe 🙂🤙🤙

[@tbird2006]

Marylander here. No ketchup on crab, ever! :-) Old Bay only.

[@saratemp790]

Things to do in Baltimore -, there in the Inner Harbor, Fells Point, baseball park, there is also another long street that is pretty cool that goes from the Harbor, more into town. I forget the name of it. Charles Street? But there are restaurants and such on that street, and around that street. So it's not just the Harbor.

[@Troublemaker1022-r9c]

Should have gone to Baltimore St. It's pretty much a shallow ghost of what it was years ago. But still worth a quick walk through. Plus.......... It's pretty easy to get crabs there as well.......

[@Etatdesiege1979]

There are so many Art museums. They could have walked all the way from the Harbor to North Avenue through Charles st. Gone to Paterson Park. Gone for a walk around the Avenue in Hampden. Ft. McHenry, Fed Hill, that alone makes for a whole day. COVID has made everything difficult in tourist areas. They should come for the next Artscape.

[@saratemp790]

Aww! I've been in that tall building. It's a very nice view of the harbor.

[@telliehack2590]

Phil’s camera keeps going to Deana’s bootie lol. Ha ha Don’t get me wrong Deana looks awesome in this video. 😀

[@katiemcteague]

Phil says “hah-bah” (harbor) like he was born and raised in Boston. 😁

[@zborkz]

Just say no to the ketchup on the crab, Old Bay is the way to go. Marylander's will put Old Bay on almost everything. Crab Cake are far superior to soft shell.

[@ChrissCorner92]

Agreed. Old Bay is smack.

[@doomtomatoe5762]

Facts

[@andrewostman3135]

I mix the old bay in my ketchup.

[@MustaphaJawara]

we literally put Old Bay on everything.

[@yarsyasih]

Some old bay chips would be great with it

[@brucereynolds3131]

This is video makes me want to visit. I live in Virginia Beach and have been to D.C. many times, but have only passed through Baltimore. I’ve always heard so much negative about the city. This video has made me reconsider. Thanks for posting! Oh, and what kind of sunglasses is Phil wearing? Very nice shades.

[@andreabellis3990]

Ha! We watch you guys in Germany because we just moved here last fall... From the Baltimore/DC area, lol. Did you try steamed crabs? They are better than softshell crabs. :)

[@loki200]

I love your murica videos, great presentation of this beautyful land :)

[@merribethgreenberg9715]

Can’t wait to see what you think of the Pacific North West, especially Seattle and Portland Oregon.

[@callista_levina-Lissi-]

woww one minute! yay first comment \xD/

[@DeanaandPhil]

Wow! You're super fast! Thanks for being here so quickly! 😍

[@ediedek2040]

The views are more like the harbor and surroundings like in Bremerhaven. It looks really good and tasteful. Grüße aus Polen. ✌️😋

[@greenmachine5600]

Great video and crab is tasty, so I'd like to try that crab sandwich.

[@raistlinhelmi2645]

Actually You can come by Softshell Crab also in Germany but you have to go to specific stores or order Online if you wanna do it by yourself. Sometimes Their are Streetfood fairs where you can get them to . I had a burger with it at one. And you would prefer Mayo with it not ketchup especialy lemongrass mayo or a Sauce on the acidic side . They are also often found in japanese Restaurants Tempura fried . The best one I had was in bangcok though in a Japanese Restaurant there.

[@rickyn1135]

I’ll have to watch. I only listened whilst in the Shower unit. Lol 😆

[@matthewrobinson9822]

I live in Baltimore an I've been craving a soft crab so bad im so jealous right now lol

[@hansoojin1903]

Next time, visit Lexington Market and get a crab cake at Faidley's. Also, the Neighborhood Bird Bun from Ekiben in Fells Point is the best bite of food in the city.

[@amputeeright]

My husband loves soft shell crabs. He breads them lightly, fries them, and then eats them with a little hot sauce.

[@Jifty]

@4:18 I used to deliver food for a catering company and have delivered to those residences. They are indeed nice and expensive.

[@darensmith5270]

Fells Point has a Tall Ships event! Tall ships from all over the world dock there! Wonderful to watch them sailing up the Chesapeake Bay!⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵🐬

[@MihcaelTube]

I only know The Wire's Baltimore. Interesting contrast. Tanks for that.

[@JB-nz1qn]

Yes!!! . And Homicide: LOTS was the inspiration for that show. You can say the wire started in Fell's Point

[@laurenravekes4878]

Also worth visits in MD are Annapolis and Frederick! Historic, cute, and lots of great food and shops :)

[@creativeepicure]

OMG that burger looked amazing!

[@daniellehurrell6620]

10:48 looks like Deana got some really cool aqua tips put in her hair! 😍😂

[@marksmith9566]

Love soft shell crabs, but tartar sauce is my topping. Keep your catsup on the fries! In season I would go for oysters.

[@MickeyKnox]

You guys should visit Philly and go to the art museum with the famous Rocky steps (and the statue is there too). But it's overall a nice town.

[@taramavery]

Soft-shell crab sandwiches are the bomb! I haven't had one in a long time...

[@greenmachine5600]

they are so good.

[@lonzo21217]

Glad yall was safe downtown its crazy

[@candace8167]

What restaurant??? I am looking forward to going there myself. I haven’t had the soft shell since I used to volunteer at the Orioles’ games as a fundraiser! Also, where did you get the Berger cookies? Crazy how I lived there for so long and never knew how famous they were! Thanks for sharing your experience with us!

[@gregw2388]

Glad to see the city wasn't on fire when you visited.

[@markchurning8375]

steamed blue crab and old bay a must.

I'm glad you had a nice day in charm city and you did it right with a soft crab sandwich and Berger cookies the only thing missing was UTZ potato chips!

[@marylou.d6379]

I love Phillips...the attached buffet...with ALL THE CRAB!!

[@DanHiteshew-oneandonly]

I grew up in Baltimore and was never a fan of the soft shell crabs. I'll take steamed crabs any day.

[@DeanaandPhil]

I might prefer the steamed ones, too! =)

[@merfwriter]

I was born in Baltimore and grew up in the Baltimore suburbs. My friend loves soft shell crab sandwiches. I on the other hand can't bring myself to try it. Maybe I might get brave one of these days and order it.

[@cstarv]

I like eating in Little Italy not far from Inner Harbor

[@AdorkableHarleyFairy]

Soft shell crab sandwiches are so good!

[@ChemicalCrash]

Love Fell’s Point! 😁

[@rachelclark6393]

Also, the best way to get an awesome crab cake is to make a friend who cooks. Restaurants put weird things in them, like tomatoes or cilantro.... Also, if you are eating seafood in Baltimore you best put old bay on it! When in doubt try old bay and you won't go wrong in Baltimore.

[@ashleyrobinson7313]

Born and raised in Baltimore I have travel vlogs too

[@brandi2746]

Idk if they still do it but they had a duck ride and boat tour. Can’t remember what it is called I went when I was like 13 or 14 and I’m 35 now, so yea it’s been along time. You would start off getting on a duck tour bus and you go around the city then it can drive right into the water and become a duck boat lol. They also give a duck whistle well it sounds like duck quacking lol. But it was a fun tour for families and young kids.

[@dan-patrickobrien3580]

This is the only northern city I've been to and actually liked. Great town beautiful views! Funny he mentioned Boston I've always wanted to visit the new England area I heard it's amazing. Camden yards in Baltimore is the greatest baseball stadium 🏟️ in America!!!

[@Thomas-lk9ok]

I remember how unsure I was the first time I had soft shelled crab! BUT it was at a restaurant I trusted so I gave it a try. eventhough it looked so weird I loved it and never looked back! lol

[@nicole3408]

YAASSS!!!

[@DeanaandPhil]

🤗💜

[@mattblom3990]

Phil playfully saying "moist" I get him, my personality is so much like that dude lol.

[@darensmith5270]

Soft shell crabs are the BEST!!!!🦀🦀🦀Maryland is the best state in the Union! Loving the state I live in now!

[@Thekidwhosk8s1]

So I live in Baltimore Maryland and the city does not have a good reputation but it is a beautiful place and I love it

[@kccroll6070]

I love soft shell crab - if it's on the menu, I'm gonna get it EVERY time. 😋

[@dawneverhart5490]

Should have went to Phillips and got crab cakes.

[@DocRaunchy]

I said it before and I say it again: Phil really should get into acting, preferably Comedy.

[@nickp9994]

She snatched the burger out of his hand like a ninja

[@k.l.raffensparger5545]

Soft shelled crabs are best with lettuce, tomato and mayo on pumpernickel bread. No breading. Fried in ghee or butter.

[@mochatech121]

Everyone just loves Northern food. It is absolutely the best. Too bad there are not enough northern food restaurants here in the south.

[@ChrissCorner92]

When you went to Baltimore, did you stop by Edgar Allan Poe's grave at the Westminister Burial Ground on Fayette Street and pay your respects? He's my favorite writer of all time.

[@potatophil8432]

Actually pretty nice harbor area! I could get used to seafood if it was a bit more affordable. 😅

[@DeanaandPhil]

🦀🦀🦀

[@jessicaely2521]

It can be free. Go fishing. Lots of restaurants will cook your catch and charge you for the ingredients and how long it took to cook.

[@darensmith5270]

Old Bay on eggs, on popcorn, on chicken , on fish on everything!

[@dfahrenholz]

I have been there many times. It has changed over time but what hasn't?

[@manxkin]

Soft shell crab sandwiches are great. Can't really get them here in the midwest.

[@ACEsParkJunheeWreckedMeHard]

never had something like that. The only seefood outside of fish you find on a bun in Germany is shrimps lmao

The Eastern Shore of Maryland is stunning if you ever get a chance.

[@nghttrn001]

I never knew it had an observation platform

[@jrobertsapp]

Goetze's Carmel Creams are also made in Baltimore.

[@maryjennings4913]

I'm a Maryland native, and I have never had soft shell crabs. But, I do eat crab cakes quite a bit. I NEVER have ketchup, or tartar sauce, or cocktail sauce on them. I just eat them plain. BTW, have you ever seen the channel, German Girl in America?

[@darensmith5270]

Hauser's was a famous German restaurant in Baltimore! Unfortunately, it closed years ago!

[@bellasmom2013]

I love the lump crab cakes. Also really like the pit beef sandwiches.

[@harrisonburger9355]

No pit beef? You can get crabs in a lot of places. The further you get from Baltimore, the more likely it is that people haven’t even heard of it, much less finding any. But if the thought of a sandwich piled high with yummy beef, with you doctoring it to suit (horseradish sauce and raw onions are probably the classic version), you might want to check it out.

[@RiseOfThePhoenix30]

Soft shelled crabs are amazing but they are better smaller where it takes 2 to make a good sandwich

[@knightling8968]

Thanks god he fixed his seat belt

[@nghttrn001]

EC Diner in Ellicott City has the best crab cakes

[@jessicaely2521]

I'm breaking out in hives and having a hard time breathing just watching this. I'm just kidding. Wish I could have crab.

[@sharonmclaughlin2258]

Love the Inner Harbor and would love to go back. Does the McCormick Factory still make the air smell like spices??

[@lynneross5848]

No. They moved all milling to Hunt Valley. The old building was demolished to make way for development.

[@Etatdesiege1979]

No

[@sharonmclaughlin2258]

Not surprised. It’s been years since I’ve been to the Inner Harbor.

Soft shell crabs are a real delicacy. Some tarter but absolutely no catchup!
