Ode to a Crabcake Sandwich

The ever-delicious crabcake sandwich at Eastern Market. The bun is homemade and the crabcake is all crab! I have mine with cole slaw and tartar sauce and preferably with a sweet tea to drink. The last two weeks, though, they have been out of sweet tea. The first time, I had a bit of a stand-off with the oversized preteen who took my drink order. He told me that they were out of sweet tea and were brewing more. I told him I would wait. He told me no. I asked him how long it would be. He just stared at me. I stared back. He stared some more. I ordered a freaking lemonade.

Today they weren't brewing any, they were just out. I ordered unsweetened tea and lemonade instead. No theatrics. I was put out, but what can you do? The crabcake is my favorite thing about this city, and I'm not about to get myself banned from the Market Lunch counter over a little tea and sugar water.
