Think you can complete a food challenge like the pros? Head to Chick and Ruth’s in Annapolis. This quirky diner is a local institution, known for impossible portions, a daily Pledge of Allegiance, and great crab cakes. Their menu may be the largest you’ll ever encounter, but many customers already know their order – one of their four food challenges. The toughest is their “Man vs. Food Challenge” named after the Travel Channel’s Adam Richman; a 6 lb milkshake and your choice of a 1 1/2 lb sandwich, Colossal Reuben or 1 1/2 lb Colossal Cheeseburger. It’s fun to grab some friends and see if you can complete the shake. Hungry customers that want a less than daunting meal love anything with crab, including their 1/2 lb crab cakes – but be aware, there's no sharing! Chick and Ruth’s is full of kitschy decor, including photos of politicians and local celebrities. It’s a popular place so be prepared for a wait.
