Olney Inn Imperial Crab image

The Maryland Olney Inn opened in 1926 in Mechanicsberg, MD, (now Olney, MD) in the Farquhar home, with 3 tables. It soon became "the place to go" and was frequented by FDR. It burned in 1978 in spite of 18 pieces of equipment and more than 100 firefighters. This recipe is simple, elegant and delicious. Our traditional Christmas Eve family dinner.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still very good. The crab was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. I think I would use a lighter sauce next time.
