FILET MIGNON AT R BISTRO
“This month, I chose R Bistro in the heart of downtown Fairhope. I went with the oven-roasted filet mignon, which was topped with a homemade pesto and Saint-André. Google says Saint-André is the world’s most famous triple cream cheese — I say put it on everything! The combination of flavors was fantastic. And the fingerling potatoes and sauteed vegetables were superb. You can bet your Saint-André I’ll be back!” — Robert Brown, VP, Pitman Brown Building Company
R Bistro 334 Fairhope Ave., Fairhope. 928-2399

HAMBURGER AT MS. D’S RESTAURANT
“In search of the real Baldwin County, I went no farther than Highway 181 to the former Rebel Lounge, Ms. D’s Restaurant. I chose the county’s best hamburger on a toasted bun with beer-battered onion rings and cornmeal-drenched fried green tomatoes, all homemade. The vegetables come from the produce stand across the street and the seafood from a shop just down the road. It was the best lunch I’ve had in years. No wonder locals crowd the place at lunchtime.” — Mary Riser, Festival Director, Fairhope Film Festival

SOUTHWESTERN BOWL AT FOY
“A fresh approach to fast food! The southwestern bowl is my go-to for lunch. It’s healthy, packed with flavor and super filling. Pair it with a cold-pressed juice and you have a healthy, nutrient-packed lunch that doesn’t lack flavor or break the bank.” Nichelle Rodgers, Marketing Specialist, USA Health

RED SNAPPER AT THE NOBLE SOUTH
“Mobile Symphony Music Director Scott Speck and I had a long dinner at the Noble South. It’s snapper season, and when I saw it on the summer menu, I knew I had to have it. It’s served with mushrooms, garlic and farro with green peas. I finished it all off with a rice flour blueberry shortcake topped with an elderberry sauce and mint. Perfect — an excellent restaurant that never fails to deliver the best food and experience.” J.C. Barker, General Manager, Mobile Symphony
The Noble South • 203 Dauphin St. 690-6824
