OHANA POKE BOWL AT OHANA POKE
“One of my favorite spots for lunch in Fairhope is Ohana Poke. I like the signature Ohana poke bowl, but I sometimes alter this menu staple, which is very easy to do online or in-store. I add one extra scoop of the spicy salmon, and I substitute the scallion for the wakame seaweed. The rest pretty much stays in place (maybe extra avocado). The spicy tuna and spicy salmon with the jalapeño definitely gives this one a kick! Pro tip: Get the poke sauce on the side to regulate as the bowl dwindles.” — E. Lee Webb III, Commercial Relationship Manager, Trustmark National Bank
Ohana Poke • 561 Fairhope Ave. Unit 102, Fairhope • 517-7760

ASIAN PERSUASION WINGS AT MOES’
“The culinary team at Moe’s truly pays close attention to the detail of their meals and preparation. The Asian Persuasion wings are to die for. The flavor from the “smoker” gives the wings a great distinct taste, and the meat falls right off the bones. And let’s not forget the macaroni and cheese — it has yet to fail me and my taste buds. ” — Daniel Huggins, Chief Operating Officer, Children’s Medical Group, P.A.
Moe’s Original Bar B Que • 701 Spring Hill Ave. 410-6377

CRAB AND CORN CHOWDER FROM EAST SHORE CAFE
“Olde Towne Daphne’s East Shore Cafe is one of those places where my order never changes. Their crab and corn chowder is comfort food at its finest, especially on winter days. Loaded with fresh crabmeat and plenty of cream and butter, the depth of flavor is rich and decadent. It’s also a great ‘to-go’ dish and can be ordered ahead of time in larger quantities for easy entertaining or simple weeknight suppers.” — Marissa Thetford Marketing, Owner, Marissa Thetford Marketing
East Shore Cafe • 1506 Main St, Daphne 625-0055

PRIX FIXE MEAL AT SOCU
“I was not quite prepared to be completely blown away! Far from ordinary, the lobster-topped deviled eggs actually made me swoon, and the combination of the crisp of the stack and the fluffiness of the fish that comprised the catfish stack was a delight. The SOCU oysters, pork chops, and the lobster, scallops and salmon entrees were all flawless. You will not want to miss out on the sweet potatoes or crispy Brussels sprouts.” — Michelle Parvinrouh, Executive Director, Innovation Portal
SOCU • 455 Dauphin St. 287-6766
