Whole Catfish Plate at David’s Catfish House

FRIED CATFISH AT DAVID’S CATFISH HOUSE
“Like many others, my dining out experience lately has been ordering to-go. One of my favorite places is David’s Catfish House. The three-piece whole / fillet catfish plate offers catfish that is fresh, well-seasoned and fried to perfection. To complement such great fish, I prefer to overload on starch, so I go with the fries and grits!” — Al Wiggins, Electrical/Instrumentation Engineer, Hargrove Engineers + Constructors
David’s Catfish House • 10810 Highway 31, Spanish Fort. 930-1252

SEAFOOD LASAGNA AT GUIDO’S
“My guilty pleasure is definitely this local twist on lasagna, which is stuffed with crabmeat and the best creamy, garlic Alfredo sauce I’ve ever had. Topped with cheese and baked to perfection, this dish is rounded out expertly with sauteed mushrooms and spinach. Do yourself a favor, and follow my lead on this one.” — Marissa Thetford, Owner, Marissa Thetford Marketing
Guido’s Restaurant • 1709 Main St, Daphne. 626-6082

SQUASH SOUP AT CAFE 219
“Every Tuesday is Thanksgiving at Cafe 219. Squash soup might be synonymous with fall, but thankfully this creamy and flavorful soup is a year-rounder at one of my favorite lunch spots. The ever-entertaining owner Todd Henson has the perfect menu for a quick lunch — wraps, salads, paninis and pizza. So stop in on a Tuesday and check out the squash soup. You will love it — but be sure to leave some for me.” — Stacey Driskell, Associate Director, Mobile Opera
Cafe 219 • 219 Conti St. 438-5234

JOE CAIN DIP AT DAUPHIN’S
“For our anniversary, my husband and I had a chance to try Dauphin’s brunch for the first time. We started with the Joe Cain dip appetizer — this blew us away! It was plenty for us to share with a flare of Southern tradition. We love a good artichoke and spinach dip. However, when you throw in Conecuh sausage, it takes things to a different level. If you are looking for a good warm Southern dish, try this.” — Whitney Boyd, Assistant Vice President and Branch Manager, The First, A National Banking Association
Dauphin’s • 107 St Francis St., Suite 3400. 444-0200
