About This Issue
They say not to go to the grocery store on an empty stomach, and I can understand why after coming home one too many times with a surplus of snacks I probably didn’t need. Unlike that situation though, our May issue is sure to inspire you not to over-buy, but to try out some new places and maybe even find your new go-to! I think the biggest issue you’ll have is deciding where to go first. And maybe getting a little hungry while reading...
Inside this month’s issue, you’ll find profiles and reviews of restaurants from one end of the Coast to
the other. Even the most adventurous foodies will be hard pressed to have tried every restaurant in town. Challenge yourself by checking off the restaurants you’ve visited in our 12-page listings! While there’s not technically an award for completing that particular challenge, I’m sure it comes with a sense of pride and a very happy tummy.
Special thanks to our Ultimate Dining Guide sponsors Captain Al’s, Lazy Oak, Associated Foods, and Sully’s Legendary Food and Drinks for making this issue possible. It is their support, and the support of our advertisers, that allows us to provide quality content every month, free of charge, to our readers. Thank you!
Speaking of Captain Al’s, we had the incredibly difficult task of spending a day on the water with some of the yummiest eats around. Trust us, our jobs are
just as hard as they sound. But in all seriousness, we could not have asked for a better view, better weather, better hospitality, or better food. We are so appreciative of Stacey Magnusen and her team for hosting us and making this month’s cover such a delectable one!
The Coast also has some great events coming up in May. From the Taste of Ocean Springs Food and Wine Festival to Jeepin the Coast, there’s something for everyone. Check out our monthly calendar of events and mark your personal calendars with your favorites!
Love
