BURRATA PANZANELLA AT PROVISION
“Every detail was thoughtful perfection at Fairhope’s new spot, Provision, and the food was no exception. I ordered the burrata panzanella, added marinated shrimp and paired it with a blueberry kombucha for a fresh, delectable combination. Colorful cherry tomatoes dressed with basil-infused olive oil are balanced by the crunch of homemade croutons and surround a large serving of burrata. Summer in a dish!” — Ann-Brooks Morrissette, Executive Director, Fuse Project
Provision • 100 N Section St., Fairhope. 850-5004

STREET CAULIFLOWER AT SQUID INK
“Eating your veggies is made delicious at Squid Ink. Their ‘street cauliflower,’ with huge blooms of spicy, charred cauliflower topped with aioli sauce, is a not-on-the-menu treat that I enjoy only on special occasions. I finished with the power salad, full of lentils, crispy chickpeas, sweet potatoes, quinoa, kale and cauliflower, served with a tangy, sweet soy vinaigrette. Delicious and full of textures — I planned my return before leaving.” — Charlana Quiovers, Owner, BackFlash Antiques
Squid Ink • 102 Dauphin St. 405-0031

TOM KAH AT RICE ASIAN GRILL 
“The tom kah is a traditional coconut soup with mushrooms, lemongrass, lime leaves, green onion and cilantro. I always go vegetarian on this dish because it is perfect, and I usually order a small sushi roll and another entree with rice or noodles. Of course, this means I usually have enough leftover for a midnight snack or lunch the next day!” — Ryan Balthrop, Singer, songwriter, musician
Rice Asian Grill • 3964 Government Blvd. 378-8083

GLASS NOODLE STIR FRY AT TEAK HOUSE
“Teak House is an unassuming Thai restaurant in Daphne. The glass noodles and tofu were flavored with a savory sauce, and every bite had a satisfying crunch of green onions. It was a nice departure from many of the dishes I normally cook and order, and my plate was entirely empty when I got up from the table. Word to the wise, don’t ask for ‘Thai Hot’ unless you know what you’re getting into.” — Cade KistlerProgram Director, Mobile Baykeeper
Teak House • 1703 US-98, Daphne. 990-5722
