PAPA’S HOUSE
On May’s Tastings, featuring downtown Mobile’s Debris Po Boys & Drinks
On May’s feature, “Grandfathered Inn,” about Robert Brown’s renovation of a memory-filled, third-generation Bay house
I have to assume that is as awesome as it looks. I love soft-shell crabs just about any way you want to prepare them. When I lived in Baton Rouge, you could get live soft-shell crabs for $4 apiece at the Red Stick Farmers Market, a true gem. If memory serves, they are called “buster” crabs in those parts. Whatever. I call it fine eating.

On May’s Amazing Life, a recollection of Wallace Tutt, Mobile law clerk-turned internationally renowned designer to the stars It’s so good to see your article about Wallace Tutt, a truly remarkable man. I believe the consistent message was his ability to be genuinely friendly and humble while being extraordinarily talented. It is too bad that people with his principals and ability cannot live forever. - Diane Horst
NICE JOB, MATEY
Oh, you have made me crave a roast beef po’boy dressed! Wanna bring me one, please?
