Ben Feldman admits it: he’s a crabby guy. The  Emmy-nominated who is best known for stints on Silicon Valley and Mad Men, is also, along with L.A. based-chefs Michael and Bryan Voltaggio, as well as Duff Goldman, a host of Crab Cake LA, the ultimate East meets West coast event in support of Chrysalis, a non-profit dedicated to creating a pathway to self-sufficiency for homeless and low-income individuals.”

“It’s insanely exciting to watch the back yard crab parties of our childhoods morph into the incredible event we get to throw thousands of miles away as adults,” says Feldman, “And to do it all while benefitting such an incredible organization- I feel like we’re scamming someone- Just not sure who yet.”

The 4th Annual Crab Cake LA event will be held at the Maple Block Meat Co. in Culver City on Sunday, July 31, from 2-6pm. Guests in attendance will enjoy live Jazz music and a signature menu prepared by celebrity chefs and hosts Michael & Bryan Voltaggio and Duff Goldman who will be serving up traditional Steamed Maryland Blue Crabs, Peel ‘n Eat Shrimp, Hush Puppies, Corn on the Cob, Boiled Potatoes, and Smith Island Cake. If that wasn’t enough, Crab Cake LA will also have the added flavor of wood-smoked meats including signature BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches courtesy of Chef Adam Cole of Maple Block Meat Co.
