Sumrall has documented his off-day po’boy travels on his social media pages with more than 20 videos and has visited Ben’s Deli in Gulfport, Quave Brothers Poboys in D’Iberville, and Fayard’s in Biloxi, just to name a few. He added his quest is simply a fun way to support other restaurants while he enjoys his favorite sandwich.
Spreading the culinary love around to several restaurants and bars seems to be a trend with chefs and restauranteurs. Coastal Entrepreneur Ramsay Taylor, who is the chef-owner of Tay’s BBQ in Moss Point and Pascagoula, The Jury Room in Pascagoula, and Jacks By The Tracks in Pascagoula, said it’s hard to pick a favorite place to eat when he’s not working. Taylor and his business partner
just revamped the menu at Jacks By The Tracks, adding more kid-friendly, family options. Since Taylor spends a lot of time in Jackson County, he tends to eat mostly at Jackson County restaurants, especially in Downtown Pascagoula, the county’s Flagship City.
Over in Long Beach, the sips and bites at the Juicy Caboosy are flying out of the window now that warmer weather has arrived. The beachside restaurant in a train caboose serves up cold-pressed juices, harvest bowls, wraps, sandwiches, and handcrafted cocktails to hungry and parched beachgoers. When owner Tomeka Bryant isn’t sipping on one of her own cocktail creations like Caboose Juice, enjoying a Very Berry Acai Bowl, or manning the catering, you’ll likely
find her at Roberts Place Café in Pass Christian. “They have the best breakfast on the Coast,” Bryant said. “Absolutely everything there is wonderful.”
And speaking of warmer weather, when David Reese, owner of Fly Llama Brewing and Hungry Llama Food Truck in Biloxi and the only Master Cicerone in Mississippi, is finished mixing up his newest summer anticipation, a fresh Blackberry Lager, he knows exactly where he’s headed for an Old Fashion and an accompanying plate of Shrimp Pad Thai or Korean BBQ Pork Belly. “If I could only pick one place to eat on the Gulf Coast for the rest of my life, it would be White Pillars,” Reese said. “Everything they have there is that good!”
