Hammer & Claw

You can say what you like about American cuisine, but there's no denying they know how to make dinner an event. This crab feast is in the style of a traditional Maryland boil, with sacks of steamed potatoes, corn on the cob and crabs in a spicy seasoning dumped onto communal, paper-covered tables for hungry guests to dive at. To make sure you have no reason to hold back the hosts will also be providing gloves, hammers and bibs. No crab will be left unsmashed. Tickets include a cocktail on arrival, two beers, three courses and all-you-can-wipe napkins.
