AVOCADO WEST INDIES TOAST AT PROVISION
“Avocado toast and West Indies salad are two of my favorite foods. Combining them is a stroke of pure genius. Served atop a slice of hearty bread and sprinkled with sea salt and cracked pepper, every bite of this toast is a delight — and so is the scene. Provision’s swanky space houses a wine bar, coffee shop, gourmet groceries and chic gifts. There is so much to savor.”–Jessica Deese, Coordinator, Wed With Style
Provision • 100 N. Section St., Fairhope • 850-5004
BELFAST BURRITO AT CALLAGHAN’S IRISH SOCIAL CLUB
“Callaghan’s is a family favorite. I tried the Belfast burrito last weekend, and it was delicious. True to its Celtic roots, it has corned beef around the eggs. Cheese binds the onions and peppers, and a spinach tortilla holds it all together. Match this with hash browns and church on a Sunday morning and your weekend is complete.” – Bennett Hooks, M.D., Gastroenterologist, Diagnostic & Medical Clinic

CRAWFISH AND CORN BEIGNETS AT MARGAUX
“A new upscale restaurant in West Mobile, named for a Mobile County Public Schools teacher? Yes, please! Margaux is inventively decorated, and the streamlined menu focuses mainly on seafood, including an oyster bar, as well as dry-aged steaks. I could have eaten about 100 of the crawfish and corn beignets, which are like elevated hush puppies. The pimento cheese grits are also amazing.”– Lakesha Brackins, PH.D., Deputy Superintendent of Academics, Mobile County Public Schools
Margaux • 7899 Cottage Hill Road • 277-3355
TUNA POKE BOWL AT SQUID INK ECLECTIC EATS AND DRINKS
“As a loyal fan of anything Panini Pete comes up with, I am not shocked that the Tuna Poke Bowl at Squid Ink has become a lunchtime staple in downtown Mobile. The tuna is always so exquisite. The combination of the soy sesame sriracha (say that three times fast) and spicy mayo, with fresh veggies on a bed of rice, leaves me powered up for the afternoon.” –Todd Greer, Executive Director, Innovation Portal
