Frank Hawkins claims to make the best crabcakes south of Baltimore (and he’s right). Now he’s added everybody’s other favorite crustacean to the menu of his tiny, charming restaurant, True (147 SE 1st Ave., 561/417-5100), in Boca Raton.
Look for shrimp steamed in beer with Old Bay seasoning, shrimp salad sliders and shrimp with crab and imperial sauce, plus his Homesick Soup, a tomato-based crab soup with veggies and Old Bay.
Hawkins has also made getting his crab, shrimp, brisket sliders and other dishes a bit easier, obtaining use of the white parking spaces across the street in the RPP parking garage and signing on with Delivery Dudes to bring the good stuff to you. But eat in or take out, you really do need to check out his crabcakes.
