RIB DINNER AT BAR-B-QUING WITH MY HONEY
“‘Just plain good Bar-B-Que and some really good soul food.’ That is Bar-B-Quing With My Honey’s mantra, and is exactly what I experienced when I ate there. I had their rib dinner, which consisted of ribs that were slow cooked and well seasoned, candied yams and collard greens. If you love barbecue, this is the place to be — it’s love at first bite!” – Tyler Flowers, Attorney, Cunningham Bounds, LLC
Bar-B-Quing With My Honey • 1880 Airport Blvd. • 479-1089

GORGONZOLA SHRIMP AT OSMAN’S RESTAURANT
“Osman’s is my go-to place for a special occasion. On my last trip, I ordered the Gorgonzola shrimp with a side of green beans and angel hair pasta. The Gulf shrimp were sautéed to perfection. I highly recommend adding their Gorgonzola sauce to anything you order; it’s creamy with a lingering pepper flavor. Osman’s also carries a nice selection of wine and out-of-this-world desserts. We split a piece of carrot cake as a perfect end to our meal.” – Linda Jensen, Juvenile Court Referee, Mobile County
Osman’s Restaurant2579 Halls Mill Road • 219-7051

CHEESEBURGER AT THE WACKY SHRIMP
“Yes, you read that right: At a restaurant known for its tasty fried seafood, it’s the burger that’s on my mind — a filling portion of two beef patties smothered in melty cheddar cheese on a delicious brioche bun. And the fries? Crispy and delicious. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to taste the hush puppy nestled among the fries, but my daughter, who begged me for it, said it was delicious!” – Philip Martin, Theology teacher, St. Michael Catholic High School
The Wacky Shrimp 1650 US-98, Daphne • 621-9697

AVOCADO TOAST AT COFFEE LOFT
“Packed with freshness and flavor, this healthy, appetizing dish is a favorite for me. Prepared on Dave’s whole wheat bread, it begins with a layer of fresh avocado spread, followed by tomato and onion. It’s topped with cilantro and a sprinkle of salt and pepper, which brings all the flavors together. It’s simple yet filling, and is a great option for breakfast, a light lunch or even a midday snack. You can’t leave without adding on one of their specialty drinks. My pick is the frozen vanilla chai.” – Molly Spain, President, Baldwin County Trailblazers
Coffee Loft 503 N Section St., Fairhope • 929-2299
