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.”
