Who do you think can crack more crab: Fire Chief Joanne Hayes White, 49ers linebacker Manny Lawson or Miss Chinese Chamber Of Commerce Tiffany Tam?
You may fear that the world will never know, but your fears are unfounded. This Saturday, those three local celebrities, plus a host more will join in battle to see who can crack and clean the most local Dungeness.
