Have you ever wondered what chefs do on their days off? Or what got them interested in cooking in the first place? We were wondering the answers to those questions, plus a few others, so we decided to ask them! In Eat Jackson’s first ever “Chef’s Profile,” we caught up with Chef Gary Hawkins at [...]
When we find a menu item that is so good, and so exciting, and so worth writing about, and so sleep depriving (because we are so excited about it), we like to write about those items in a column called The DISH. This edition of The DISH is such a good one. We found it [...]
Editor’s Note: We love hearing from you guys! You give us ideas of where to eat, what to order, and what you think about places we recommend. When you have questions for us, we do our best to answer them. So send them to us as often as you think of them! We were recently [...]
February 9th is National Pizza Pie Day. Lucky for you, today happens to be February 9th! We’ve known for a few weeks now that this day was near, so we celebrated early in order to give you some ideas of how you yourself could celebrate. We think the best way to celebrate National Pizza Pie [...]
I found a new date night destination to add to my little rolodex of favorites! I am ashamed to say that, having grown up in Madison County, I have never eaten at Vasilio’s Greek Cuisine. Go ahead… Who wants to throw the first stone? Yet, everytime I pass the little blue and white building on [...]

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 [...]
Whistle Stop Express, home of GG’s Super Burgers, is located in Flora, MS in the Kearney Park area of town. Whistle Stop Express is a new burger joint that, should you be in that area, is definitely worth a visit. A little background story… Early this past summer, my mister and I were driving to [...]
As National Soup Month, which we’ve affectionately named Operation: Soup Celebration rounds third (yes, January is over halfway gone! Hard to believe…), Eat Jackson would like to direct your attention to a very special soup (ahem, GUMBO) from Primos Café.

Butternut Squash Bisque from Mint the Restaurant National Soup Month, which we here at Eat Jackson have dubbed Operation: Soup Celebration, continues with a soup unlike any other (in our opinion). This object of our affection is the winter vegetable-based delight from Mint the Restaurant found on their menu as: Butternut Squash Bisque. The first time [...]
