FRIED SHRIMP SALAD AT BUTCH CASSIDY’S
“Since construction began on Florida Street, I’ve tried to visit Butch Cassidy’s more often. I’ve eaten dozens of cheeseburgers there over the years, but last week, I decided to have the fried shrimp salad. The salad was fine, but those shrimp were some of the best I have ever eaten. They reminded me of the way shrimp used to taste all the time, right out of the Gulf and fried to perfection.” J.C. Barker, General Manager, Mobile Symphony
Butch Cassidy’s Cafe • 60 N Florida St. 450-0690

FLOUNDER AT WOK BY D’BAY
For my first time dining at Wok by d’Bay, I ordered the special: crispy flounder, cauliflower, dried tofu, bamboo shoots, onion, bell pepper and cilantro served in a hot pot with your choice of fried or white rice. BAM! The flavor of this dish was happening. The delicacy of the tempura fried flounder was complemented by the heat of the sweet heat sauce, and the portion was very generous.Robert Brown, VP, Pitman Brown Building Company
Wok By D’Bay • 420 Fairhope Ave., Fairhope. 270-7262

STUFFED SOURDOUGH FRENCH TOAST AT EAST SHORE CAFE
“The Eastern Shore’s best breakfast can be found at East Shore Cafe. My friend had the quiche du jour and the best grits in the South (magic ingredient: Parmesan cheese). For the 21 years they have been open, I have stuck with the reliably delicious cafe plate, but this time I sampled the stuffed sourdough French toast with apricots. Dining on their porch, under a gorgeous tree, I was transported to France, if only for a moment.” — Mary Riser, Festival Director, Fairhope Film Festival
