Award Winning Crab Cakes!

Drexelbrook Catering and Corporate Events Center is very proud of our Culinary Team led by Chef Wade Harvin. One of the favorite creations here at Drexelbrook Catering is our Crab Cakes. In season we go through an average of 360 pounds of crab meat a week in the production of our Crab Cakes.
Chef Wade and the Culinary Team at Drexelbrook Catering and Banquet Facility take great pride in the recipes and food and our crab cakes have won awards at tasting competitions and regional events including recently at the NFCA event where we placed second overall for food with our gluten free version.
