The Most Heavenly Biscuits

Everyone knows you can’t have a good ol’ genu-ine Southern, rib-stickin meal without a proper side of bread. Acceptable forms of “side of bread” are many: cornbread, buttered toast, rolls… Those all work. Those are all well and good. But if you want what we think should be the definition of the perfect Southern “side [...]

Jackson Welcomes Its First Food Truck

That’s right, Fred’s Franks opened this week as Jackson, Mississippi’s first mobile food stand, aka “food truck.” We caught up with Fred, owner and operator at Fred’s Franks, the first mobile food stand downtown Jackson has seen since the food truck ordinance passed last July.

The Making of a Cocktail: Babalu’s Baba-rita

The Babalu experience is like none other in the Jackson area. The stylish Fondren setting, the comfortable, casual décor, the “I Love Lucy” episodes projected on a wall in the main dining area, their beautiful patio perfect for outdoor dining on a pretty day or star-filled night, and their killer tapas menu are all reasons why [...]

Madison's Newest Frozen Yogurt Joint

I was at Kroger in Madison not too long ago (the one on Hwy. 463 at Colony Crossing, NOT the new Kroger theme park on Hwy. 51) when I noticed that they had a new neighbor. About halfway between Kroger and Papito’s (in that same Madison shopping center) was a new frozen yogurt place called [...]

Why We Love the Orange Chicken from Pan Asia

I eat lunch pretty often. Every day, to be exact! And I eat lunch out more often than any other meal. One of the best lunches I’ve had in recent history was from Pan Asia in Ridgeland. I love this place. They have terrific specials regularly and one of the most unique atmospheres around. (If [...]

Who knew Sneaky [...]

Eating Our Way Through Starkville, Part IV

The Starkville Food Tour may be nearing its end, but we went out with a bang at The Veranda Restaurant near the Mississippi State University campus and a final hurray at City Bagel Cafe on University. In case you missed it, check out Part One, Part Two and Part Three.

It's All Greek (and Great) To Me!

Your best bet for lunch is what I will call the Krilakis “lunch special” – a Gyro Combo (that’s pronounced “yee-ro,” for those of you who didn’t take Greek in high school) with your choice of lamb, chicken or mixed gyro meat served with fresh cut fries and a drink for around $9 including tax.

What You Must Try on Your Next Visit to Two Sisters Kitchen

The Patty Peck Honda Take-Out of the Week this week is a good one! Two Sisters Kitchen in downtown Jackson was the place and past my regular lunchtime was the time. Needless to say, I was hungry when I rolled into the parking lot at Two Sisters. Since this post is all about take-out, I [...]
