People Magazine released the latest installment of its “100 Reasons to Love America” series, where the magazine is highlighting their favorite state fair food across the county. Maryland’s winner, listed fourth, comes from the State Fair in Timonium, which will take place over the course of three weekends later this summer.
”Jimmy’s Famous Seafood‘s fried egg roll are stuffed with cream cheese and crab cake and drizzled with mango ponzu and spicy mayo. The handheld bites were crowned the state fair’s best savory new food item last summer (Aug. 22-25, Aug. 29-Sept. 2, Sept. 5-8).”
Founded by the late Dimitrios “Jimmy” Minadakis, “The Famous” quickly became a Maryland landmark as a direct result of his unrivaled work ethic, according to the restaurant. “Since 1974, Jimmy’s Famous Seafood has proudly served the community with iconic culinary creations, unmatched philanthropy, and legendary hospitality. Today, Jimmy’s Famous Seafood carries on his vision through his sons, who display the same passion and diligence that he was beloved for.”
The restaurant was also recently included, as one of two Maryland restaurants, in Food & Wine’s list of the “Best Crab Cakes in the U.S.”

The senior center posted a touching tribute to the late couple – parents of three, grandparents of five, and great-grandparents of six – hailing them as pillars of the community who were never seen without each other.
“To those of us here at the Senior Center, they were simply quite the pair,” Tuesday’s Facebook post said.
“You rarely saw one without the other, and that was no accident, they were two people who genuinely chose each other, every single day. In the end, even in their passing, they were not apart for long. They were a living reminder of what lasting love looks like, and we were blessed to witness it.”

The loving pair, devout churchgoers, regularly brought flowers to friends in nursing homes and were known for deeply cherishing their friends and large family, always uniting everyone for holidays, birthdays, and celebrations, their obituary said.
Marilyn devoted 25 years to chiropractic care before retiring in 2023, and Kenneth spent his life working in marketing.
Grief-stricken family members were comforted that the elderly couple died together and hope their love and legacy will live on.
“If there’s one thing we could share about my grandparents, it’s not only the 70 years they’ve had together and that they chose to be together every day and chose to go away together and leave this earth together,” their granddaughter Kristie Hopkins told the outlet.
“Their legacy is just how to be humans – be humble and kind and graceful to others and help strangers in need.”
