DEBRIS PO’ BOY AT DEBRIS PO-BOYS & DRINKS
“The word ‘debris’ conjures images of hurricane aftermath in Mobile. But it has a different meaning at Debris Po-Boys & Drinks. Recently, I had their classic debris po’ boy made with slow-braised prime beef, dressed with lettuce, tomato and mayo and served au jus. A bag of Zapp’s chips, collard greens, slaw and gumbo brought it all together.” – Tyler Flowers, Attorney, Cunningham Bounds, LLC

DONKEY ON CRACK SUSHI ROLL AT CHUCK’S FISH
“If you’ve never tried the Donkey on Crack at Chuck’s Fish, it’s time that you do. This mouthwatering deep-fried sushi contains tuna, crab and avocado. It’s topped with baked seafood and eel and Sriracha sauces. You will not find it on the regular menu at Chuck’s, so you need to ask the server. Don’t be scared off by the price. It is more than enough for two people.” – Linda Jensen, Juvenile Court Referee, Mobile County

FIRECRACKER SHRIMP BOWL AT DRAGONFLY TAVERN
“I don’t know why, but the older I get, the more I crave spicy foods. At Dragonfly Tavern, there is one dish that has just the right snap: the Firecracker Shrimp Bowl. The fried basmati rice serves as the base for the idyllic combination of mushroom, jalapeno slices and sweet-and-spicy shrimp. The yolk of a soft fried egg serves as a kind of sauce. So delicious.” –

SOUTHWEST PROTEIN POWER BOWL AT OX KITCHEN
“Although Ox Kitchen has some of the best burgers in Fairhope, I opted to try the Southwest Protein Power Bowl for a lighter lunch. It starts with a bottom layer of quinoa topped with pickled radish, pepitas, tomato, black beans, corn and avocado. I added blackened chicken that gave it a mild spice and a kick of flavor. The cilantro lime vinaigrette accentuated the fresh ingredients. It made for a perfect lunch.” – Molly Spain, President, Baldwin County Trailblazers
