Seoul Restaurant
One last post about my trip to the coast. On my way out I stopped at Seoul Restaurant–unsurprisingly a Korean restaurant. It’s just one turn off the main drag in Biloxi, but when you drive down the street it’s on you might wonder like me if you’re on the right street at all since you drive through a residential area to get to it. Just keep driving for a bit, cross the train tracks, and it’s on the other side of the tracks on the left.
I believe this is the first Korean restaurant I’ve ever been to. To my knowledge there isn’t one in Jackson (please correct me if I’m mistaken–I’d love to go to one here), and I didn’t know much about Seoul Restaurant before I went other than a couple visitor reviews online, so for me this was a bit of a gamble but one I was excited to take. I’m not one to throw my money away at the casinos, but I’ll bet on good food any day.

Seafood gumbo
I had the privilege of being guests to members of the Pass Christian Yacht Club, which is why we were able to eat at their restaurant. They don’t normally let in riff-raff like me. Upon browsing the menu I was surprised to see how reasonable the food prices were. I guess they get you with the membership dues so they can afford to not charge crazy money for food.
A few of us got the seafood gumbo appetizer. The photo might look like a muddy mess, but if you know what you’re looking at you know there’s probably some good stuff in there, and there was–nice lumps of crab, shrimp, etc. Quite good gumbo. I’ve had better, but this one got no complaints from me.

Mary Mahoney's
I was down on the Coast with Brian, and he insisted on taking me out to eat at Mary Mahoney’s in Biloxi. Twist my arm a bit harder–I don’t think I’m quite convinced yet. Coincidence (or not) that I had made a mental note about Mary Mahoney’s while doing a pre-trip search for eateries on the Coast. Brian claimed Mary Mahoney’s to be the best restaurant in the area, so of course I was psyched.
Oh, and for the sake of some readers who get excited about restaurant posts only to find out much later that these restaurants are in a different city (*cough* Rebecca *cough*), I’ll try to state the city in the title if it’s not in the Jackson Metro area.

Oil clean-up site
Yes, I’m back!!! Boy, who knew having 2 kids would be so much work, especially with a colicky baby? Not me. I have some down time and figure what better way to return to the blog then to celebrate the end of the oil gush (ok, probably a bit premature, but let’s hope it’s true) with a blog post about oil? In a few years we’ll look back at these oil-filled days and reminisce fondly. Ah, the good old days when oil = bad, and environmentalism = good. Such simple, innocent times. “Ah, the Summer of 2010,” we’ll utter with a nostalgic sigh. » Continue Reading…
