Crab Cakes - Chef David Russo, Instructor of Culinary Arts, Ivy Tech State College.

This kicked up crab cake recipe has made its rounds around the Culinary Arts faculty at Ivy Tech and has gained some serious respect there.  Chef Russo prepared them for our "Fat Tuesday" cooking class and served them with Judy Shertzer's Ginger Wasabi Dipping Sauce.  There is no doubt this dish earned some respect from the class.  Delicious.
