MB’s contributing food fanatics share the local dishes that made them hungry for more.

Banana Bread at Guncles

GLUTEN-FREE BANANA BREAD AT GUNCLES
“Quickly becoming a Midtown staple, Guncles is a healthy, delicious choice for gluten-free goodies made from scratch with love. I am not generally one to seek out gluten-free food, but I am a banana nut bread junkie, and Guncles makes one of the best I’ve ever had. They’re now offering nationwide delivery, so send your loved ones some gluten-free love!” — Ryan Balthrop, Singer, songwriter, musician
Guncles Gluten Free • 1252 Government St. 800-1348

FRENCH TOAST AT VON’S BISTRO
“Expect the unexpected at Von’s Bistro, a winning combination of traditional Asian foods with Southern flair. I was surprised with a delicious brunch, offered on Saturdays, with my choice of strawberry or grapefruit Bellinis accompanied with a twist on my favorite, French toast. It was drenched with cream cheese sauce, berry compote and fresh fruit, and topped with a thick, tender slice of pork belly. It was an indulgent sweet and salty treat.” — Charlana Quiovers, Owner, BackFlash Antiques
Von’s Bistro • 69 St. Michael St. 375-1113

FRY FRY CHICKY CHICK & WAFFLE AT WAREHOUSE BAKERY & DONUTS
“The chicken in this fried chicken and waffle dish is so crispy and dang-near addictive, and the golden-brown Belgian waffle is a perfect complement. It’s served with a side of spicy Sriracha butter and syrup. These two are a match made in heaven, and your taste buds will thank you. If you’re quarantined, take home a few of their ever-tempting baked goods! Order online or by phone and beat the line.” — Cade Kistler, Program Director, Mobile Baykeeper
Warehouse Bakery & Donuts • 759 Nichols Avenue, Fairhope. 928-7223

SHRIMP TACOS AT THE AUGUST HOUSE
“Nestled in the heart of Spring Hill, The August House serves up shrimp tacos for lunch that will become your new go-to. Fresh Gulf shrimp, corn, black beans and a house-made aioli are wrapped in a warm, crisp tortilla. The aioli brings a spicy note to round out the smoky flavors of the grilled shrimp and give it a Tex-Mex flare. Oh, and major bonus: There is plenty of room to social distance with a wraparound porch and large courtyard.” — Ann-Brooks Morrissette, Executive Director, Fuse Project
The August House • 4513 Old Shell Road. 287-0976
