For my third and final (for now) “Lost in the Belhaven Triangle” piece, it’s only proper to end this series by going back to the beginning of it all for me – Fenian’s Pub. Fenian’s Pub sits on the corner of Fortification and Jefferson, right on the line between Belhaven and Belhaven Heights. We have [...]
Confession: I love side dishes. A good side dish is at least as thrilling to me as an excellent entrée. Luckily, the rest of the Eat Jackson team understands this love, so we’re doing a series on some of the best side dishes local Jackson restaurants have to offer. (Yes, I am super excited to [...]
Bruno’s Adobo Healthy Cuisine was today’s lunch spot, and it turned out to be a delicious choice. Adobo has a wonderful café feel, with bright awnings and sidewalk seating options that give it awesome curb appeal. Once inside, you’ll find a café-style ordering counter, which I love. After a quick look over of the menu, I [...]
Fondren, get ready for M!so. Ever since Fatsumo moved out, there have been rumors of another sushi-style restaurant moving in to the space. It’s a prime piece of real estate, right at Duling and State Street in the heart of Fondren, a neighborhood known for its artists, entrepreneurs, and sushi-addicts. More recently, the rumors were [...]
With Table 100 riding high after its runner-up showing in Eat Jackson’s recent burger showdown with sister restaurant Babalu, the question now arises: What else ya got? And for this Eat Jackson writer, that question becomes much more specific: What’s for dessert? I made a stop by Table 100 this afternoon to try their Yuzu [...]
Blue Plate Specials are a Southern staple, and there’s a reason the Blue Plate has been around for so long. Quick, easy, and more often than not, downright delicious. Why mess with a good thing? Chef Chris Haley at Ridgeland’s The Cotton Kitchen agrees. Every day at lunch, this chef’s Mississippi restaurant, with its signature [...]
Lots of people like to eat donuts - probably millions do, in fact. A smaller, but still quite large, number of people would claim to love donuts. And I’m sure there is a smallish contingent of donut aficionados who would even make the claim, “I can’t live without donuts.” But how many people do you know [...]
Cock of the Walk in Ridgeland, right on the Reservoir, is like no restaurant I’ve ever been to before. It is charming, old fashioned, without all the modern glamour. As we sat down to order, I stared blankly at the menu until it registered with me that there are only two options: Catfish or Chicken. [...]
The last time Guest Chef Keith Kornfeld graced the Pan-Asia kitchen, we were wowed, to say the least. Actually, we called our meal that night “Three Courses that Changed My Life.” So that should give you some idea of how we really feel. It’s also why we’re really excited that Chef Keith Kornfeld is returning [...]
THIS JUST IN: Sal & Mookie’s was taken over by King Kong! Okay, not really. Sal & Mookie’s was not taken over by King Kong (no matter what the event poster indicates). But they WERE taken over by Chef Jesse Houston, who orchestrated last night’s The Empire State Strikes Back: Pop-Up Pizza, another amazing event at [...]
If you’ve eaten at Mint the Restaurant at the Renaissance in Ridgeland, then you know you can’t go wrong. Their menu is chock full of deliciousness. Recently, I decided to step outside of my favorite standing order, Lobster Mac and Cheese (I’ll save that for another day), and go for the Mint Julep Chicken and Waffle. [...]
We recently announced Eat Jackson’s occasional series on gluten-free options when it comes to dining out in Jackson. Since life is short, we decided to start with dessert first. And where better to get dessert than Campbell’s Bakery? Campbell’s is always fantastic, but if you’re gluten-free, here’s all the more reason to love ‘em: every Friday [...]
In a world where there seems to be a lot of craziness, occasionally, Providence wins. Take today, for instance. This morning, while taking our son to day care (via the same route we have been taking for nearly 2 years), we passed the gas station sign we’ve been passing for awhile: “Suck the Shuck Tamales, [...]
