A crab cake, a cold drink, and a little heat.

Baltimore crab cakes, carryout drinks, hot sauce, and cheesesteaks ordered just the way you want them.

Lexington Market's food stall has more to offer the two survivors. The expanded menu brings in a Baltimore crab cake, two cold drinks, and clearer choices for chicken boxes and cheesesteaks. Order a meal and a drink together, or stop at the table for just a drink.

Development gameplay: Gruge and red-dress Vicki sit behind the wooden market table eating crab cakes, with one red Triple mix drink in front of each survivor.

A chicken box now offers four separate choices: salt, pepper, ketchup and hot sauce. For a cheesesteak, choose “Everything no hots,” “Everything with hots,” or “Just mayonnaise and ketchup.” The game defines Everything as salt, pepper, ketchup, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato and grilled onions; With hots adds hot peppers. Hot sauce remains a separate choice, so you can tell exactly what is in the order.

The Baltimore crab cake costs 95 credits and restores up to 45 health to each living survivor. It joins the chicken box at 75 credits and 35 health, and the cheesesteak at 65 credits and 30 health. The fictional stall takes inspiration from the city’s food traditions, including Faidley’s jumbo lump crab cakes at Lexington Market. These game prices and healing effects belong to the survival game.

Half and half mixes sweet tea and lemonade: 20 credits, with up to 10 health restored. Triple mix adds fruit punch: 25 credits, with up to 15 health restored. That is the carryout-style recipe used by our fictional vendor, reflected in T&S’s Baltimore menu. Other Baltimore shops have their own versions; Connie’s menu, for example, lists a different three-flavor mix.

Take the order to the table and let Gruge and Vicki finish it together. New native ImageGen crab-cake and drink artwork gives those choices their own seated presentation, and new Edge TTS vendor lines cover the expanded menu. Both living heroes receive the meal and drink’s healing, up to their health limit. Each paid item can be consumed once.

Purchases and ingredient choices stay with Continue. Existing orders keep their paid or eaten status and their original seasonings; the newly added ingredients default off. A paid order can still wait at the table without charging you again when you return. Older cheesesteaks retain their custom choices rather than being silently replaced by a new preset.
