3 Local Dishes to Try this Month

Our contributing food fanatics share their go-to local dishes.

PELICAN’S NEST BREAKFAST PLATTER AT JULWIN’S RESTAURANT
“I had the egg prepared over medium and nestled into a slice of Texas toast, which had the perfect buttery consistency. The bacon, which has a unique taste, is the perfect side to blend with this dish, and perhaps any dish. Speaking of sides, the pancakes (which are huge!) are the best I have tasted in a while. To top it all off, the service is attentive and friendly.” — Suntrease Williams Maynard, Special Counsel, Adams & Reese LLP
Julwin’s Restaurant • 411 Fairhope Ave., Fairhope. 990-9372

KUNG PAO CHICKEN AT DRAGONFLY
“One of my favorite dishes around Fairhope is the Kung Pao chicken bowl from Dragonfly Foodbar. The menu has been updated over the years, but luckily this bowl has stuck around. The combination of fried basmati rice, carrots, edamame, peanut glaze, a fried egg and fresh jalapeño slices (for just the right amount of heat) always hits the spot.” — Brian P. Britt, Attorney, Kopesky & Britt LLC and Fairhope Title Services, LLC
Dragonfly • 7 S Church St., Fairhope. 990-5722

COMBO APPETIZER AT JERUSALEM CAFE
“My husband and I regularly brave the traffic on Airport and head to the Jerusalem Cafe. I’ve enjoyed many of the savory entrees on the menu, but time and again I return to the combo appetizer for a little taste of several made-from-scratch offerings: hummus, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh and stuffed grape leaves, along with a salad tossed in a citrus vinaigrette (available to take home). And we always polish the meal off with pistachio baklava.” — Kim Kelly, Owner, Sophiella Gallery
Jerusalem Cafe • 4715 Airport Blvd. 304-1155
