BISCUITS, SHRIMP AND DESSERT FROM THE HUMMINGBIRD WAY
“As we’ve done our best to support local restaurants by ordering curbside pickup over the last several weeks, we chose a dinner-for-four package from Chef Jim Smith’s The Hummingbird Way, and it was incredible! It included biscuit service with toppings, fried catfish, grilled shrimp, four sides and hummingbird cake for dessert. It was truly gourmet dining to-go from a former Top Chef finalist.” — Joe Sims, The Shoe Guy, McCoy Outdoor Company
The Hummingbird Way • 351 George St. 408-9562

KAFTA KEBAB SUPREME AT SAGE
“This meal includes one shish kebab with a chicken kebab, as well as tasty lamb chops seasoned in a way only the Lebanese know. The entrée takeout includes a salad with a Greek-style dressing as well as turmeric rice with grilled veggies (tomatoes and sweet red peppers) on the side.” — Vickie Bailey, Owner, The Happy Olive
Sage Lebanese Cuisine & Cafe • 319 Fairhope Ave., Fairhope. 517-7536

LOCALLY SOURCED VEGETABLES FROM LOCAL APPETITE GROWERS
“The closures due to COVID-19 opened our eyes to delivery. My friend Will Mastin with Local Appetite Growers delivered a beautiful assortment of locally sourced vegetables and eggs (on a weekly order), and we enjoyed a local staple at home. Baldwin County produce is plentiful and sure does fuel the body and soul.” — Bo Nichols, Real estate agent, BHHS Nichols Real Estate
Local Appetite Growers • 411 Azalea St., Fairhope. 656-9265

CHICKEN KARAAGE AT NOJA
“Although the menu at NoJa is full of exquisite options, I like to begin with one of their small plates — the chicken karaage. I was hesitant to try this dish because I don’t like dark meat, but this was a game changer. It consists of sweet and tangy, saucy, crispy cuts of Japanese-fried chicken thighs. The bold flavor is met with the subtle flavor of a chewy, sesame sticky rice cake. Trust me, it’s heavenly!” — Sherri BumpersSenior Advertising Account Executive, Alabama Media Group
NoJa • 6 N Jackson St. 433-0377
