THE NIXON AT NIXON’S MIDTOWN
“A roast beef sandwich without au jus is a rarity, but the garlic aioli on the namesake Nixon can carry it. The inner crust on the grilled French bread is worth every bite. The shaved roast beef is tender, covered with provolone, and the crisp lettuce gives it a “healthy” crunch. Match this with a potato salad that has both sour cream and mayonnaise. It makes me a proud patron of my local pub.” – Bennett Hooks, M.D., Gastroenterologist, Diagnostic & Medical Clinic
Nixon’s Midtown • 1801 Old Shell Road. 586-8780
SEAFOOD POT PIE AT HALF SHELL OYSTER HOUSE
“I admit that pot pie seems more like a winter weather meal, and we are in summer sauna season! However, Half Shell Oyster House is marvelously air-conditioned, so I can enjoy their seafood pot pie year-round. Imagine shrimp, crawfish and crabmeat in a creamy sauce with corn, peas and carrots, topped with a golden buttermilk crust. This comfort food favorite is given a major upgrade with fresh Gulf seafood.” – Lakesha Brackins, PH.D., Deputy Superintendent of Academics, Mobile County Public Schools
Half Shell Oyster House • 3654 Airport Blvd. 338-9350
SQUEELIN’ PIG BISCUIT AT WAREHOUSE BAKERY
“You might as well go whole hog when having breakfast out, especially at Warehouse Bakery. Their warm, flaky biscuit alone is worth the trip. When biting into one filled with layers of cheese, egg, pork and a dollop of spicy mayo, you might just squeal with glee and wonder if this dish is named for the pig or you.” – Jessica Deese, Coordinator, Wed With Style
Warehouse Bakery • 759 Nichols Ave, Fairhope. 928-7223
HAM AND CHEESE CROISSANT AT DROPOUT BAKERY & CO.
“While I would never describe myself as a true foodie, I’m always drawn to unique and robust flavors. When I had my first ham and cheese croissant from Dropout Bakery & Co., I was hooked! This delight has become my go-to. The flaky crust, incredible seasoning and ham and cheese inside always bring a smile to my face.” – Todd Greer, Executive Director, Innovation Portal
