ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW

***  AS YOU WELL KNOW I LOVE TO EAT . 

EATING IS ONE OF LIFE'S GREATEST PLEASURES FOR ME.

WHEN CHILI PEPPER AND I MOVED TO MISSISSIPPI 5 YEARS AGO ,  IT WAS A CONCERN. 

BUT TIME HAS PASSED & I HAVE FOUND SOME GREAT PLACES IN OLIVE BRANCH & SOUTHAVEN . 

A COUPLE OF THINGS STILL REQUIRE  THE SHORT RIDE TO MEMPHIS . HERE IS A BRIEF LIST OF HIGHLIGHTS OF AREA EATING .

MEXICAN 

JUDGING FROM THE NUMBER OF MEXICAN PLACES THERE MUST BE MORE MEXICANS IN NORTH MISSISSIPPI THAN IN MEXICO . 

THERE ARE 15 OR MORE MEXICAN RESTAURANTS  WITHIN 5 MILES OF MY CASA 

THE BEST IMO ARE MIS PUEBLO & MARIA'S CANTINA . MARIA'S HAS FRESH FOOD WITH LARGE PORTIONS BUT A TAD PRICEY . MIS IN OLIVE BRANCH IS ALSO FRESH  AND AT A GOOD PRICE .

THESE TWO ARE AT THE TOP ON A LONG LIST AVAILABLE .

ITALIAN 

LONNIE TANT'S  IS THE BEST . THE LASAGNA IS ALMOST AS GOOD AS CHILI PEPPER'S . I ALWAYS HAVE THE TANT -A- RONI .

LONNIE'S IS A GREAT PLACE TO EAT . 

BURGERS 

TWO REALLY GOOD HOLE -IN-THE WALL BURGER JOINTS ARE  WIMPY'S IN SOUTHAVEN  & SIDE STREET BURGERS IN OB.

GOOD BURGERS AT A GREAT PRICE , 

CATFISH 

 I HAVE NOT FOUND A GREAT CATFISH PLACE IN THE  IMMEDIATE VICINTY 

MY BEST BET IS SOUL FISH ON POPLAR AVE  OR A LONG DRIVE TO WOLF RIVER CAFE IN ROSSVILLE .

BAR-B-Q 

THE ALWAYS RELIABLE  CORY'S IS CLOSE TO THE HACIENDA   

THESE ARE JUST HIGHLIGHTS . OVERALL THE EATING IS MIGHTY GOOD IN NORTH MISSISSIPPI . EVEN RAG -BALONEY & HOOP CHEESE FROM THE LEWISBURG STORE .
