VIVIA’S OXTAILS AT JAMAICAN CAFE
“Arriving at Jamaican Cafe, I am instantly drawn to Vivia’s Oxtails. Presented with a hearty portion of succulent, fall-off-the-bone oxtails, the plate is complemented by Jamaican-style rice and peas, steamed cabbage, and moist and delicious cornbread. As a self-identified beach bum, a trip to the islands may not be possible right now, but in my mind, when dining at Jamaican Cafe I am already there!” Dr. Raoul RichardsonSenior V.P. of Research and Development, Baheth Research & Development Laboratories LTD
Jamaican Cafe • 462 Azalea Rd. 342-2234

BRISKET SANDWICH AT TEXARBAMA BBQ
“One of the new culinary gems in downtown Fairhope is TexarBama BBQ. A favorite dish of mine is the brisket
sandwich. The brisket is succulent, moist and perfectly seasoned. I like to add Texas Caviar, guacamole and pickled bacon to really make it special. The sides are wonderful, and there is a full bar and great selection of beer. Having been born and raised in Texas, TexarBama reminds me of home!” Dr. Marshall ShoemakerDoctor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Shoemaker OB-GYN
Texarbama BBQ • 212 1/2 Fairhope Ave., Fairhope

TENSAW TOURNADOS AT DUMBWAITER
“The Tensaw Tournados at the new Dumbwaiter location in Fairhope were a treat on a recent family holiday dinner. The steak and shrimp were cooked perfectly, and the asparagus and potatoes were tender and delicious. And, as always, the New South braised Brussels sprouts are a favorite. In fact, our meal was so good that we stole away two nights later to eat it again!” — Ameri’ca TickleOwner/Designer, Tickle Creative Company
