3 Local Dishes To Try this Month

Our contributing food fanatics share the local dishes that made them hungry for more.

VIETNAMESE PHO AT PHO 88
“My favorite is the signature Vietnamese pho with thin slices of beef, cooked rare, in a bowl of tasty broth. The dish comes with a plate of fresh bean sprouts, basil and lime to add as toppings. The crunchy veggies accompanied by the soft pho noodles are a wonderful combination of textures. An appetizer of shrimp spring rolls dipped in peanut-based sauce completes a satisfying meal for the stomach and the taste buds.” — Enen Yu, Co-concertmaster, Mobile Symphony Orchestra
Pho 88 • 395 Azalea Road. 217-2859 

CHICKEN WINGS AT MURKY WATERS BBQ, OCEAN SPRINGS
“My friends were correct in predicting that these chicken wings, slowly smoked over pecan, would be the best I had ever eaten. The wings are flash-fried for crispness and glazed with your choice of their 10 sauces. My personal favorite is the garlic parmesan, but flavors include everything from mild, medium, and hot to sweet or spicy Asian. Order 12, 18 or 24 wings, and try multiple sauces to decide which are your favorites.” — Mary Kay Webb, Retired, Senior Executive Vice President, Marketing, Medical Device and Imaging Technologies
Murky Waters BBQ • 1212 Government St., Ocean Springs

SCHNITZEL AT OSMAN’S RESTAURANT
“First-time diners should look no further than the schnitzel selection. My favorite is the Jaeger Schnitzel. The restaurant setting is so cozy, Mr. Osman can be heard tenderizing the pork with a traditional mallet in the kitchen. This process produces a tender, thin, huge cut of pork that is breaded and fried to golden perfection. Pair your schnitzel with a selection from Osman’s extensive, and reasonably priced, wine list.” — Will Cooksey, Chief Operating Officer, Preload
Osman’s Restaurant • 2579 Halls Mill Road. 479-0006
