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.

Sal and Phil's Po-Boy - Seafood
Work is killing me and I’m still swamped, but I’m gonna die if I don’t take a break, so I’m doing so by putting up another Nifty Fifty post. All pictures here are courtesy of Nifty. The day Nifty arrived, we went to Sal and Phil’s for dinner. My cousin and his bride were in town for Christmas. With him having been away from the South for 10 years and her never having been to Mississippi, I racked my brain for Mississippi- or at least Southern-authentic food for them to have while they were here. We had an awesome Christmas dinner and delicious leftovers for days (post on that to come once the smoke clears), but it was time to switch it up a bit, so Sal and Phil’s it was. Oh, and my sister Susie was here too, but she visits at least once a year and is more excited about getting sushi instead of Southern fare while she’s down here. » Continue Reading…
