Phillips is overrated....IMHO.
It's still better than what passes for seafood where I live, tho.
That's why I would have sent those Egyptian kids up to the Lexington Market. Only the intrepid tourists brave their way up there.
The best crabcakes come out of my cast iron skillet (my wife uses the skillet too, but mine bite back).
There are very, very few chain restaurants that are worth anything (Ruths Chris a notable exception).
