PEANUT BUTTER ENERGY BALLS AT FOY SUPERFOODS
“The peanut butter energy balls are delightful, not-so-bad-for-you treats that I eat to hold me over between meals and for a little pick-me-up. These guilt-free snacks are hearty and satisfying. Each ball has a couple of chocolate chips to give them a bit of bite and extra delight. They are a great dessert add-on to one of the wholesome super bowls and smoothies.” — Michelle Parvinrouh, Executive Director, Innovation Portal

PATTY MELT AT CALLAGHAN’S
“My visit to Callaghan’s was truly an amazing experience. The staff provided great customer service, from the kitchen to the front of the building. It was recommended I try the patty melt with provolone cheese, and, needless to say, I was not disappointed. It was savory, grilled to perfection and made me feel as if I was grilling in my own backyard. Also, the spinach artichoke dip with grilled chicken — YES. You’ll thank me later.” — Daniel Huggins, Chief Operating Officer, Children’s Medical Group, P.A.

A FEAST AT THE GRAND HOTEL
“Starting with a handcrafted libation at 1847 Bar, I was impressed to learn they invent a new cocktail each day. Ours was a gin concoction that tasted like licorice. We moved to Southern Roots, a true upscale dining experience. We started with the crab cakes, garnished with a spicy butter and peppers, then dined on the bone-in pork chop, recommended by the chef who visited our table. The meal was capped off by a decadent chocolate layered cake.” — E. Lee Webb III, Commercial Relationship Manager, Trustmark National Bank

CRANBERRY & WALNUT FETA CHEESE SPREAD AT THE INTERNATIONAL GOAT
“The Mediterranean deli inside Fairhope’s Piggly Wiggly features everything from tabouli to freshly baked baklava. My current obsession is the cranberry and walnut feta cheese spread. Made with Asiago cheese and fresh lemon juice, its hummus-like texture is outstanding on fresh bread or stuffed inside grilled pork chops or chicken.” — Marissa Thetford Marketing, Owner, Marissa Thetford Marketing
