Maybe take them home instead and we can watch movies and eat crabs all night. yum (08-13-2011, 05:03 PM)Twitchin Kitten Wrote: Sitting in Bum's now! OK those two quotes are from the 'pointless' thread and I figured I should just bring them in here for quoting. No Trudi, it's not a take-away place but you could take a bucket of crabs to go. These are exquisite and can take hours to eat. We usually eat about half each and bring the rest home. Bum Roger's has been around at the beach for ages and a day. Recession has hit hard around here, usually it takes hours to get in the door to eat. We usually take them home instead of sitting if it's busy. The place was practically empty tonight. I ordered the 'regular' garlic crabs that Bum Roger's is famous for and Matt got the Cajun spiced ones. Here's the "feast": [attachment=1978] And a couple of crappy camera photos from inside the place. Nothing fancy as you can see, just a crab shack by the beach. "Bum" is probably a derivative of the slang "beach bum". Someone who's seems to never be anyplace else but on the beach. Way back in the 50's and 60's surfers were called Beach Bums too. I think everyone in these photos are tourists! "Bennies" [attachment=1979] [attachment=1980] [attachment=1981] Edit: I had to reinsert the photos. Apparently these were part of the batch that got lost when I moved hosts. RE: Garlic Crabs at Bum Rogers! - LH - 08-13-2011 See the green ductwork, Thats what I do for a living, design HVAC systems then fab them in the shop. Those were made of galvneal and painted. Thats the first thing I look at now whenever I go anywheres. RE: Garlic Crabs at Bum Rogers! - Twitchin Kitten - 08-13-2011 Matt looks at the fire and burglar alarm systems, CCTV and sprinklers. RE: Garlic Crabs at Bum Rogers! - LH - 08-13-2011 That makes me glad I'm not a gynecologist. RE: Garlic Crabs at Bum Rogers! - Twitchin Kitten - 08-13-2011 The crabs or the alarm systems? You lost me. RE: Garlic Crabs at Bum Rogers! - LH - 08-13-2011 Staring at stuff that I do all week? RE: Garlic Crabs at Bum Rogers! - Twitchin Kitten - 08-13-2011 Oh duh... lol. Been a long day and my brain is now mostly dead.

I found a really old one in Belgium that made me feel I was in the 19th century and I now notice one of the big chains here is about to copy the Scandinavian style of triangle style fittings with a consultation desk at each. I've been trying to get my boss to turn our place into a coffee shop RE: Garlic Crabs at Bum Rogers! - Rhubarb - 08-14-2011 That photo looks like the left overs my Gran would dish up after we had spent all day cooking and cleaning crabs (without the legs). My job was to use a skewer to push the meat out of the legs and if I made a mess of it then Gran would add it to the pot of mixed veg (don't ever remember there being sweet Corn though) and we would have Crab Soup. Gran sold the crab meat to the local Fish-monger, who she eventually started dating when I was about 14. Her brother was a fisherman who would catch the crabs and also take tourists Mackerel fishing (another job for me- cleaning fish). I was a danger to all with a sharp knife in my hand at 8 years old, but the cat loved me. |
