You Have To Eat, Right?

I decided that I would make a blog featuring foods that I've eaten and love since moving to Alabama. Keep in mind that I do NOT eat seafood (yuk!), so you will not see any of that here.

I guess I will start with appetizers... yummy....

Our very favorite appetizer is the fried dill pickles from The Hangout. They are the best we've eaten. The Hangout is also one of our favorite places to go. Great food, not too pricey, and great view because it's right on the beach.

This is the 18 cent Senate Soup from McGuire's Irish Pub. Yes, it's really just 18 cents, and really yummy.

Alligator Bites! Yes, REAL alligator. Tastes like chicken (yes,seriously!) Joey loves it dipped in Ranch dressing.

Spinach/Artichoke Dip with chips at Derailed Diner. Even Kevin who keeps saying he hates spinach dip couldn't stop eating it.

This is the appetizer we got at the Hard Rock Biloxi. It was awesome and filled us both up.

Onion ring tower.... yummo!



Now on to "real food" (like appetizers and desserts aren't "real food"- who am I kidding?)

These are from a little place called Antonio's on the beach in Panama City. They were awesome!

This is the Chef Salad Kevin got at Lambert's. It was so big that he ate on it 3 times and still had a lot left. Finally just threw it out because he was sick of salad.

I eat a lot of salads with chicken in them-either grilled or strips like in this picture. This particular salad was at Red Robin's in Pensacola. I LOVE Red Robin.

Tacos at Bravo Taco.. We have recently discovered this place, and was pleasantly surprised. Great prices and everything tastes so fresh.


Now, on to the nachos......

This is the Garbage Nachos at Tacky Jacks. They are fantastic! I also love Tacky Jacks because all locations are on the water and have a very laid back atmosphere.

These are the nachos from McGuire's. They are HUGE!!!! It's only $9.99. I ate til I was full, and took 3 to-go boxes home FULL.

Joey's nachos at North Shore Grill. I LOVED that place and am so disappointed they're closed now. The oil spill did them in. :( They had the best burgers on Pleasure Island.


Speaking of burgers.....

This is the 3/4 pound burger at McGuire's. You can get your burger up to 50 different ways- even hot fudge sundae burger. Not a flavor I would try personally. This burger is so big, I can only eat half.

A1 Peppercorn Burger at Red Robin. Other places with great burgers are Bahama Bob's, Lester's, Jake's, and Lulu's.

Other "real" foods.........

Jake's is one of our favorite places to eat. Our favorite waiter's name is Dustin. Be sure to ask for him and tip well if you go there. :)

We were excited to finally find some good barbecue. Being from Memphis, we have very high standards for BBQ. The photo above is Moe's. The photo below is Rib Shak in Perdido Key.

Voodoo Ribs from Reggae J's in Panama City. Joey said these are the best ribs he ever ate, followed by the ones at Jake's.

This root beer is brewed in kegs at McGuire's and is the best root beer I'veever drank. You must try this if you go there.

Now......on to the best part....DESSERT....ice cream!

Dippin Dots

Key Lime shake at Stacy's Drug Store. The shake was good, but the lady who works there is not very friendly at all- kind of rude actually.

Mint Chocolate Chip Shake at Summer Scoops in Summerdale, AL.

Banana Split at Scoops a block from the beach...This is our favorite ice cream spot.

Here are a couple of things we didn't try, but look very good.

Chocolate suckers for Breast Cancer.
Below is hamburger shaped cakes in Panama City. Don't they look like real hamburgers?

And last, but not least.... every marina has fish feeders. We love feeding the fish, and I LOVE the marinas. They are beautiful and very interesting places within themselves.

Hope I didn't make you all too hungry. Have a great day and Peace Out!
