Local Sandwich

A central Virginia Local store offers a crab cake sandwich.  It was a one week special that got rave reviews,  so they brought it back. Keep in mind that this was in central Virginia,  not Maryland and not in the Bay area. So they're perception of what makes a good crab cake is clearly different. 
But, to each their own.  As for me, the crab cakes appear and usually have too much filler. They should be like 95% lump crab meat. Anything less is a fail. Then there's the rest of the sandwich. It certainly looks good,  and you can't go wrong with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and bacon. I'd try it for the entire sandwich itself,  but for me,  this great sandwich overpowers the crab cake itself,  which needs to be enjoyed to its fullest... All by itself. I don't want anything,  no matter how good to detract from the crab cake. But that's just me. But I'd still try this... It looks really good except for the crab cake itself.  

  
This is how a good crab cake is to be enjoyed...
