CHIMICHANGAS AT BARIACHI MEXICAN KITCHEN
“This newest addition to Midtown is our new Friday night go-to. We ordered queso and a margarita to start while we browsed the menu. I chose a to-die-for chimichanga, stuffed with flavorful chicken and topped with cheese dip. It is also served with lettuce, tomatoes, guacamole, sour cream, rice and beans. If you haven’t been, give Bariachi a try!” — Lucy Pryor Slaton, President, Junior League of Mobile

PIMENTO CHEESE CHICKEN SALAD AT THE CHEESE COTTAGE
“It was our first ‘bluebird’ day of fall, and I wanted to have a picnic lunch break. The Cheese Cottage was the perfect choice, and I ordered the pimento cheese chicken salad on a croissant. The pimento cheese is made with Prairie Breeze Cheddar out of Iowa, and all-white chicken meat is added for the salad. It was served on a fresh, flaky croissant and provided for a perfect picnic on the patio overlooking St. Louis Street.” — Marietta Urquhart, Commercial Associate & Realtor, White-Spunner Realty

CHICKEN AND WAFFLES AT SOCU
“My wife and I enjoyed dining at this new restaurant Downtown. Among the many regional dishes, I went with the chicken and waffles. The two pieces of fried chicken were tasty, tender and juicy with wonderful, homemade waffles and their special syrup. The sides were Southern standards with great twists that could be a meal unto themselves: collards, mac and cheese, Parmesan cheese grits and seafood dressing.” — Errol D. Crook, MD, Abraham A. Mitchell Chairman of Internal Medicine, USA Health

HAMBURGER STEAK AT MR. SPUD’S
“If looking for a family-owned restaurant that makes every diner feel like part of the family, this is the place. I decided on hamburger steak with onions, rice and gravy, and pickled beets, and was I ever delighted with my choice! At Freddie Nolte’s new venture, named for the Nolte family’s Baldwin County potato-growing legacy, down-home atmosphere, good service and great food prove to be the winning combination.” — Cecil Christenberry, Owner, Old Tyme Feed & Garden Supply
