  1. As far as “lump crabcakes,” you’re not even going to get them at most restaurants!!!

    You gotta make them yourself and it’s about as easy as making a hamburger pattty!!!

    The frozen ones will be cheaper but that’s because they aren’t lump!!! Hell, they probably aren’t mostly crabmeat either but some other throw away fish product in there as well.

  2. I have used the online service for the Super Food Town (SFT). They were quite good, as you say. My issue is, if I want fresh goat cheese or something a little more fancy, SFT can’t match Fresh Direct. I’d even wager that their crabcakes aren’t as good as Fresh Direct’s (I remember you specifically wanted Butternut’s to be “lump” — and I’ve been looking for “lump” crabcakes everywhere since you said that and have been very unhappy with the results. Thanks a lot!).

  3. MacD…did you ever use the online service for the Super Food Town? How do the two compare???

    I won’t buy meat, fish, poultry, produce either way but what about the rest??

    Food Town was very communicative about what they didn’t have and delivery was great exactly when I wanted it. I’ve only used it twice though.

  4. Off the openthread topic, but thought you might like to know that Fresh Direct made a delivery to my house yesterday even though they say they don’t deliver to 11233 on their website. I was shocked and e-mailed this morning to confirm that they will deliver to my block (in the Stuyvesant Heights section of Bed Stuy) and that it wasn’t an accident. They will and it wasn’t. There goes the neighborhood (but I probably will use them on occasion).
