PO’BOYS AT DEBRIS PO POYS & DRINKS
“If you’re craving the feel and flavor of NOLA but want to keep it local, head down to Debris. Everything is made from scratch, and their bread is delivered five days a week from Leidenheimer Baking Co. I had the spider po’boy (soft-shell crab) and the Debris. I highly recommend getting the Debris fully dressed with the au jus on the side. I also ordered fried okra and a gumbo that would make your grandmother jealous.” — Ryan Reid, Insurance Agent & Owner, Coastal Insurance Group LLC
Debris Po Boys & Drinks • 276 Dauphin St. 378-8133

B.S. BURGER AT COUSIN VINNY’S
“My go-to for burgers is Cousin Vinny’s. Now you may be thinking, Isn’t that a pizza place? But let me tell you, their B.S. Burger is one of the best. It comes with bacon, Swiss, mushrooms, onions and my all-time favorite, garlic aioli. You can pair this with their pasta salad or a side Greek salad, and you will be full for hours. So the next time you are in need of a good burger, visit Cousin Vinny’s in Daphne.” — Whitney Boyd, Assistant Vice President and Branch Manager, The First, A National Banking Association
Cousin Vinny’s • 1709 Main St., Daphne. 626-6082

PRIESTER’S CREME BRULEE AT DAUPHIN’S
“Sweetening the view at Dauphin’s is the Priester’s Crème Brûlée. It hits all of the right spots, and the pecan lace bowl is a dessert in and of itself. The menu eloquently describes this dish as a ‘rich custard, with a crackling sugar top and Alabama pecan lace cookies.’ I call it ‘stick in your teeth amazing yummy-liciousness,’ to be enjoyed at any altitude.” — Stacey Driskell, Associate Director, Mobile Opera
Dauphin’s • 107 St. Francis St., Suite 3400. 444-0200

SOUTHERN BREAKFAST BOWL AT WAREHOUSE BAKERY
“I truly enjoy a good traditional breakfast. However, my wife often encourages me to step out of my food comfort zone. I did exactly that and was not disappointed at all. The Southern breakfast bowl at Warehouse was different, delicious and filling. We’re talking cheese grits, collard greens, eggs, Creole tomato sauce and fried okra. This hearty bowl, with a side of bacon, is a must-try.” — Al Wiggins, Electrical / Instrumentation Engineer, Hargrove Engineers + Constructors
Warehouse Bakery & Donuts • 759 Nichols Avenue, Fairhope. 928-7223
