Crab Cakes with Joe's Mustard Sauce
This classic crab cake recipe is a Mr. Food fan favorite. It even includes the famous mustard sauce recipe from Joe's Stone Crab Restaurant that is simply perfect with these crab cakes.
Notes
Note: For a more mustardy bite, whisk about 1/2 teaspoon more mustard powder into the finished sauce until well blended.
TV Tidbits: Joe's Stone Crab Restaurant in Miami Beach is an institution. My friends there shared their special sauce recipe with me a long time ago and, when I shared it (with their permission, of course) on one of my earliest shows, letters poured in from fans who'd been dying to get their hands on it for years!
