LINDA JENSEN, Juvenile Court Referee, Mobile County RIB DINNER AT BAR-B-QUING WITH MY HONEY “‘Just plain good Bar-B-Que and some really good soul food.’ That is Bar-B-Quing With My Honey’s mantra, and is exactly what I experienced when I ate there. I had their rib dinner, which consisted of ribs that were slow cooked and well seasoned, candied yams and collard greens. If you love barbecue, this is the place to be — it’s love at first bite!”

GORGONZOLA SHRIMP AT OSMAN’S RESTAURANT “Osman’s is my go-to place for a special occasion. On my last trip, I ordered the Gorgonzola shrimp with a side of green beans and angel hair pasta. The Gulf shrimp were sautéed to perfection. I highly recommend adding their Gorgonzola sauce to anything you order; it’s creamy with a lingering pepper flavor. Osman’s also carries a nice selection of wine and out-ofthis-world desserts. We split a piece of carrot cake as a perfect end to our meal.”

PHILIP MARTIN, Theology teacher, St. Michael Catholic High School CHEESEBURGER AT THE WACKY SHRIMP “Yes, you read that right: At a restaurant known for its tasty fried seafood, it’s the burger that’s on my mind — a filling portion of two beef patties smothered in melty cheddar cheese on a delicious brioche bun. And the fries? Crispy and delicious. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to taste the hush puppy nestled among the fries, but my daughter, who begged me for it, said it was delicious!”

AVOCADO TOAST AT COFFEE LOFT “Packed with freshness and flavor, this healthy, appetizing dish is a favorite for me. Prepared on Dave’s whole wheat bread, it begins with a layer of fresh avocado spread, followed by tomato and onion. It’s topped with cilantro and a sprinkle of salt and pepper, which brings all the flavors together. It’s simple yet filling, and is a great option for breakfast, a light lunch or even a midday snack. You can’t leave without adding on one of their specialty drinks. My pick is the frozen vanilla chai.”
