PHILLY CHEESESTEAK AT TRATTORIA PIZZA & ITALIAN
“Trattoria in Spanish Fort has one of the best Philly cheesesteaks I’ve ever tried. The thinly sliced steak is topped with melted American cheese, and sauteed onions, peppers and mushrooms. What sets it apart, in my opinion, is the bread. Trattoria bakes their bread fresh daily in-house. The softness compliments the other ingredients and takes it to the next level. You can even buy their bread if you want to use it for your own cheesesteak at home.” – Max Dearing, Director of Engineering, SFR Development, 68 Ventures

MACARONI AND CHEESE AT CRAV’N DA FLAVA FOOD TRUCK
“You absolutely must try Crav’N Da Flava food truck! The macaroni and cheese is the best I’ve ever eaten in my life (don’t tell my mom). The texture, creaminess and unique flavor is perfect. Everything is prepared to order so you might have a little wait, but it is well worth it. This macaroni and cheese is a must try. Trust me, you won’t regret it. You can find their locations each week on their Facebook page.” – Kimberly Pettway, Instructor of Social Work, University of South Alabama

BRONZED SALMON AT R BISTRO
“R Bistro has recently reopened in a new location on Scenic 98 in the old Fish River Grill. I have enjoyed dining there on two different occasions, once for dinner and the other for lunch. On my first visit, I was treated to a lovely dinner of bronzed salmon over mixed spring vegetables with a champagne dill beurre blanc sauce. Very light with amazing flavor. I will be back — what I had was so wonderful that I might order the same thing again!” – Jeanie Smith, Artist, Southern Intaglio Gallery

TUNA POKE POWER BOWL AT SQUID INK ELECTIC EATS AND DRINKS
“Tuna is one of my favorite proteins, so anytime I can enjoy it with fresh ingredients, I’m interested. When I discovered the tuna poke power bowl, I was perplexed at the ingredients. Very different. However, I’ll be the first to recommend this dish now. The soy sesame sriracha dressing along with charred cauliflower, mixed with sweet potato and craisins — all in a bowl with tuna — you get amazing flavor and no guilt.” – Barry E. Porter, Writer and Consultant Director, Alabama Orthopaedic Clinic
