Sombra Mexican Kitchen, the upscale Mexican newbie in Ridgeland’s The Township, makes some serious margaritas… From their simple House Margarita, to their ritzier ones (we love The Township Margarita), to their Sangria Margaritas (in this case, two rights definitely do not make a wrong!), we have yet to find one that lets us down. Since [...]
Not only is this NATIONAL GRAPEFRUIT MONTH, but today is also NATIONAL MARGARITA DAY! These things are both very exciting, and coincidentally, work together in one of our favorite warm weather drink recipes: a Grapefruit Margarita. With the warm days we’ve had sprinkled in recently, it is hard not to get Spring Fever! This Grapefruit Margarita should [...]
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 [...]
After a beyond fantastic dinner with my husband at NICK’S Restaurant in Fondren recently, I have two very, very important words to share with you: TASTING MENU. These two important words only apply if you are eating at NICK’S, but they are so powerful that I’m surprised more restaurants in the area don’t do something [...]
Date Night Drinks Family Friendly Ridgeland Supper
You might remember the take-out post we did last month on Sombra Mexican Kitchen, the new upscale Mexican place at The Township in Ridgeland. At the close of that post I said, “I can’t wait to try Sombra again, dining in!” The take out experience featured in that post was a good one, especially considering [...]
Breakfast Cooking at Home Drinks featured
A few weeks ago, Lauren (our Eat Jackson sales manager) and I had the pleasure of sitting down with Paul from BeanFruit Coffee Company for a “coffee cupping.” We met Paul and his wife Anita at Lemuria Books in Banner Hall one morning for an experience unlike any other. I know you’re probably asking yourself, “What is [...]
Drinks Feature Cocktail Jackson
The Feature Cocktail this time is from Underground 119. It’s pretty different from our last features but delicious nonetheless! This one is called the Bananas Foster Martini. I think we are all familiar with (and have hopefully tried) the popular banana dessert, Bananas Foster. (Speaking of Bananas Foster, have you tried the Bananas Foster Bread [...]
Drinks Off the Beaten Path Supper Worth the Drive
“Worth the Drive” is an understatement when it comes to NOLA. And no, I’m not talking about New Orleans. The drive from Jackson to this NOLA is pretty easy, plus you get to see some pretty delta scenery along the way. I’ve been to this place twice and have been blown away both times. NOLA, [...]
Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting with Lisa Bochicchio, the Beverage Manager at CHAR in Highland Village. She taught me all about wine, and particularly about the Cruvinet. The what, you ask? This word is pronounced kroo-vin-ay. I said it wrong at first and a co-worker who shall remain nameless told me I [...]
Date Night Drinks Jackson Supper
You know Eat Jackson does Twitter and Facebook giveaways all the time, right? In order to have stuff to give away, we have to go to restaurants and actually get stuff to give! This time, the destination was Underground 119 in downtown Jackson. Owner Andy Wilson told me to get what I needed from the girl at [...]
