Explore the foodie paradise found in Mississippi. Tasty recipes, where to dine, and more.
There are a variety of reason for American’s love of wings. Perhaps foremost, is our love of hand portable foods (it’s the reason tamales became popular to the farm workers in the Mississippi Delta as a food they could take to the fields with them). But there can be no denying that wings are just plan delicious.
Beau Rivage’s BR Prime, Stalla, and Jia have all been honored in Wine Spectator’s 2024 Restaurant Awards, which celebrate the world’s best restaurants for wine. The resort’s three fine dining restaurants are among only six in the state of Mississippi to receive this distinction.
Did you know that grits and coffee share something in common? Both are much better if they have been freshly ground. The coffee revolution in this country brought that point home in a big way.
Summer is half gone and the Fourth of July is here! Let’s hang our flags, remember our nation’s heritage and share food with family and friends.
Nothing beats the bounty of fresh produce we can get in the Magnolia State, but shopping at a grocery store just isn’t the same as shaking the hand of a local farmer and hearing all about the most recent veggie haul.
If you pass through my neighborhood over the weekend, you are sure to smell the smoke from someone’s backyard grill. Yup, it’s that time of the year. Sunday brunch is my favorite time to grill, invite a few friends over, pair a good bottle of wine with whatever it is you are throwing on the grill, and, just relax!
As the days brighten and the evenings stretch out, this idyllic season beckons us to revel in one of life’s simple yet profound pleasures: alfresco dining.
DatingAdvice.com ran a survey of 3,000 seasoned (no pun intended) foodies to identify the 150 most romantic locations for al fresco dining in 2024. The top 10 were as follows:
I am fond of telling people to cook and eat where you are. Do you know what I mean? If you want really good sushi, go to Japan, want a great hoagie, better head to Jersey or NYC. Want goulash? Your best bet is going to be Hungary.
Crawfish, Mudbugs, or Crawdads? No matter what you call these divine little crustaceans, they’re more than just a Mississippi delicacy; they are a summertime food group!
I have waxed poetic before on the many health virtues of chicken soup, not to mention it being so very, very delicious when prepared properly. Mine is not a scientific opinion, I have done no medical research, but it is an opinion formed over many years of getting to feel better by taking small doses (1 cup or so) every hour or two.
You might think of fried chicken as being about as Southern as it gets, but in fact the East Africans have been frying chicken in palm oil for generations before the Europeans came to the America’s.
Pascagoulans everywhere, it is time to celebrate. A wrong has been righted. Our long national nightmare is over. Joy has returned to Mudville. The Orange Slush is returning to Edd’s.
They say the true measure of a chef, or an accomplished home cook for that matter, is in their skill in creating sauces. There seems to be some magic touch required that not just everyone has. Even the simple ones, like aioli, can be contrary, and if you are attempting something more complex, like hollandaise it can be a demanding task indeed.
Summer is about to begin! Memorial Day Weekend provides the opportunity to gather with loved ones and host a cookout to kick off the summer season. You can still enjoy a seasonal shindig without sacrificing nutritious food choices.
Every good biscuit is made with love. And every Southern family has that one person with the secret touch. They can get that bowl of flour and work in their fats and make a perfectly fluffy and flaky biscuit. Whether you add jam, jelly, bacon, or sausage or top it with gravy, there is no argument that buttermilk biscuits are a staple in Southern cuisine. Since 2008, there has yet to be an argument that Natchez, Mississippi, is the Biscuit Capital of the World and home to the Queen of Biscuits.
Have you ever wondered about Lyon, Mississippi? This charming town, nestled in Coahoma County, with a population of just 259, is a world unto itself. We are not just ‘Lyon.’
The small town is named after the French city of Lyon, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. With Clarksdale nearby (approximately 2.5 miles away), there’s not much to do in the tiny town of Lyon. However, they have still made their mark in The Magnolia State with delicious carnival food and a giant Sponge Bob sign that can be seen for miles off Highway 61.
