WHITNEY BOYD, Assistant Vice President and Branch Manager, The First, A National Banking Association SCHOEL SANDWICH AT REGINA’S “On this visit to Regina’s, I had the popular Schoel sandwich with pasta salad. The sandwich was piled high with smoked turkey breast, several strips of bacon, cheddar cheese with jalapeños and then grilled to perfection on sourdough bread. The pasta salad was the perfect blend of olives, artichokes and peppers. You can definitely tell Regina is loving her neighbors, one sandwich at a time.”

AL WIGGINS, Electrical / Instrumentation Engineer, Hargrove Engineers + Constructors GRILLED SHRIMP AT LIL J’S SOUTHERN COOKING “My food truck of choice in the Daphne area is Lil J’s Southern Cooking. With the tough decision between grilled shrimp and baked chicken, I chose the grilled shrimp with fried okra and mashed potatoes. After devouring such a tasty and filling dinner, I rewarded myself with their fresh apple cobbler — wow!”

PIZZA AT BUSTER’S BRICK OVEN “If you have not had a chance to eat at Buster’s Brick Oven in Old Towne Daphne, you are truly missing out. My husband wanted the Carne, and I, of course, went Supreme. The Carne, complete with meatball, prosciutto, pancetta and fresh mozzarella, had him going back for more. The Supreme hit the spot with black olives, red peppers, mushrooms and Italian sausage.”

COM/BUSTERS STACEY DRISKELL, Associate Director, Mobile Opera FRIED PICKLES AT WINTZELL’S “If there is such a thing as a fried dill pickle connoisseur, it would be me. I’ve rarely met a fried pickle that I didn’t like, and I have found that Wintzell’s serves up the best and most consistent version. They’re fried and crispy on the outside, dilly-sour on the inside and perfectly dunkable with a side of ranch dressing. Fried pickles as an appetizer? No. Fried pickles as an entree!”
