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 [...]
I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Mitchell Moore, the owner of Campbell’s Bakery in Fondren, to have a conversation about one of my favorite things. I’m talking, of course, about cake. Moore, who took over Campbell’s in 2011, had plenty to say about cake, and rightly so: his team decorates about 30 cakes [...]
If you’re a fan of ice cream, peanut butter, spicy flavors, life, joy, or any combination of these things, you must head on down to Underground 119 for the Grover’s Delight. Tom Ramsey has combined peanut butter ice cream and cayenne pepper to create a “sweet and heat treat” to satisfy Jackson’s adventurous dessert palates. [...]
Last week, we popped into the Library Lounge at the Fairview Inn in Belhaven for an after-hours meeting. Another story should be devoted to the entire Library Lounge experience – and their cocktail list – but maybe this little introduction will get you started. After our meeting, we tossed back and forth where we should go [...]
New favorite alert: Anjou in Ridgeland now has not only a fabulous Happy Hour (Monday through Friday, from 4pm to 7pm, half off ALL cocktails, beer, and wine by the glass!), but they also have a brand new Early Bird Menu. The Early Bird Menu is also available Monday through Friday, but it’s one hour [...]
Know what makes it hard to write an article about “tiny treats” in Jackson? Jackson doesn’t really do bite-sized desserts. I’m sure I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know, but we like our sweets in the South, y’all. We seem to supersize even the bite-sized ones. So to write this piece, I had [...]
Several months ago, I noticed a new “pizzeria” had sprung up out of nowhere, not far off Lakeland on Highway 471 in Brandon. As it turns out, Miller’s Grill and Pizzeria is both new and old; many of you are likely familiar with it, as it was a fixture downtown for many years. Owner Mark [...]
Chances are, some (or most…) of those New Year’s Resolutions you made back in January have been all but forgotten. Here’s one resolution you should make a conscious effort to keep: eating healthy and getting more exercise. That’s because heart disease is…
Mother Nature has another round of winter chill in the forecast, but never fear. Jackson’s best restaurants have plenty of options to warm you up and comfort that chill away – whatever the weather – or your day – throws your way. Here’s a round-up of some of Eat…
I am a bit of a dessert fiend. I make no apologies for this. I have been known to base my choice of restaurant on the quality and/or reputation of its desserts. Heck, I’ve been known to go to a nice restaurant and order only dessert. For those of us foodies on a budget, this [...]
Driving down State Street in Fondren, one building stands out. The pink and green of Campbell’s Bakery makes me smile every time I drive by and when you go in, you’ll understand why. From their brownies (I always pick the middle piece) to their perfect birthday cakes, Mitchell Moore has the perfect small town bakery. [...]
