Each participating restaurant / bar had their own table, with their bartender at the ready. Tables were set up all around the room [...]

Last week as we were running around in the Brandon area, we decided to stop in to Old Fannin Road Farmers Market to see what fresh goodies they had on hand! This little market, which has been around for about 13 years now, has an impressive array of fresh…
When we started the Eat Jackson BBQ Trail back in May, a reader wrote to us saying we needed to try out Annie D’s A Family Grill in Brandon. She told us it served some of her favorite BBQ around, so we’re continuing the trail off of her recommendation!

In a nutshell, the original Cerami’s Italian Restaurant was opened in Jackson in 1977 by Fred Cerami, the menu revolving around his Sicilian family’s recipes. Fred chose to close the…
Jo’s Diner, located near the Spillway in Brandon, was an exciting and unusual experience that I will not soon forget! Not only have I heard buzz about Jo’s on Twitter and Facebook, but Paul and Anita Bonds of BeanFruit Coffee have also mentioned it as being one of their favorite spots to grab a bite! [...]
