State Plate

Maryland (2x10)

:

Entertainer Taylor Hicks tastes his way across Maryland on a mission to assemble a plate of the state’s most iconic foods. Obviously, seafood is on the menu for this Mid-Atlantic state, so Taylor learns to make seafood coddies, goes fishing for blue crab on Chesapeake Bay, and tries his hand at farming oysters for the perfect oyster stew. In order to have something to accompany the seafood, Taylor is trained in the old-fashioned and time-consuming art of beating biscuits. Finally, he gets a lesson in constructing a classic, eight-layered Smith Island cake. It’s a heaping-helping of Maryland’s most delicious foods.
