4 Local Dishes To Try this Month

Our contributing food fanatics share the local dishes that made them hungry for more.

Seared Diver Scallops at Kitchen on Main

SEARED SCALLOPS AT KITCHEN ON MAIN
“Chefs Dorothy Overstreet and Tara Morris have curated a beautiful menu at Kitchen on Main in Daphne. My favorite dish is the seared diver scallops with red grapefruit citrus gastrique over an outstanding Parmesan risotto, sprinkled with edible flowers. The sauteed vegetable of the week was crisp buttered green beans. Diver scallops (I had to look this up) are not harvested with a net but instead are hand-selected by professional scuba divers, and they are perfect!” — Cindy McCrory, Photographer and Studio Owner, Blue Room Photography
Kitchen on Main • 1716 Main St., Daphne 307-5350

BANANAS FOSTER AT BRICK & SPOON
“I have a Saturday morning ritual. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so most Saturdays I head out to have a full breakfast. My new guilty pleasure is bananas foster French toast from Brick & Spoon. The brioche is crisp and filled with banana heaven. Partner it with a mimosa, and you will have the perfect start to a Saturday — or any other day.” — Dana Foster-Allen, Director of Finance, Mobile County Commission
Brick & Spoon • 24705 Canal Road, Orange Beach; 3662 Airport Blvd.; 7765 Airport Blvd. 378-8378

BACON CHEESEBURGER COMBO AT LARRY’S DRIVE-IN
“I had the bacon cheeseburger combo platter, which came with the best crinkle-cut French fries I have ever had — crispy on the outside with a moist but not soggy interior. The huge, juicy, perfectly cooked burger came topped with plenty of fried bacon and melted cheddar. The toasted bun could barely contain it; I ended up finishing it with a knife and fork.” — Douglas B. Kearley Sr., AIA, D.B. Kearley Architects, Inc.
Larry’s Drive-In • 5 Camden Bypass, Camden. 334-682-4069

MALLORY MELT AT RAE’S KITCHEN
“Fairhope locals have long known about this great local restaurant/caterer/food-to-go spot despite its hidden location. Now Rae’s Kitchen is in a beautiful new spot in downtown Fairhope and is serving an extensive menu. Their Mallory melt is a wonderful hot sandwich served on oat nut bread. It includes fresh sliced turkey and avocado, warm Brie, homemade thick-sliced bacon and a jalapeno jelly with just the right kick.” — Chris Haley, Owner, Haley Development, LLC
Rae’s Kitchen • 460 N Section St., Fairhope. 210-6135
