Infinity Buffet, Biloxi, MS Report #712

This buffet is located inside of the Treasure Bay casino right on the beach in Biloxi, Mississippi. As we know, buffets are normally about quantity instead of quality. Unless I was really impressed for some reason I wasn’t going to bother reporting on this visit. I was impressed! My dining partner knows I love crab…

Bop’s Frozen Custard, D’Iberville, MS Report #711

My road trip has landed me in D’Iberville, Mississippi, and led to the discovery of a frozen custard joint! We don’t have any in New Orleans. I love frozen custard and maybe this place has finally revealed why. They have a sign explaining that frozen custard is served at 26 degrees fahrenheit, as opposed to…

The Lady May, Ocean Springs, MS Report #698

I found a fantastic restaurant! Unfortunately, it’s in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. I wish it was closer to New Orleans. We took a little road trip and happened upon this place. Simply lovely. It doesn’t matter if you chose to dine inside or in the courtyard, you have access to the bar. They also have a…

Blue Crab Grill, Laurel, MS Report #590

Our Alabama road trip has come to an end. It takes over 5 hours to drive from Birmingham, Alabama to New Orleans, Louisiana. It’s humanly impossible to go that long without eating, so of course we had to stop somewhere for lunch. This trip lunch time occurred at laurel, Mississippi, and this place wasn’t far…

Weidmann’s, Meridian, MS Report #566

My Birmingham road trip is over, and I was headed home. In Alabama I dined at Blueprint on 3rd, The Original Pancake House, Dreamland BBQ and Amore Ristorante Italiano. It was a great time, and I had some great meals! But alas, it was time to make the 350-mile drive back home to New Orleans.…

The Reef, Biloxi, MS Report #512

This was my final stop on my little Mississippi Gulf Coast getaway. When I first looked at this place I thought, “Wow, this joint is huge”! But it’s really not as big as it looks. At first you think it’s three stories, but the first floor is nothing but space. That’s reserved for the storm…

Panda Palace Buffet, Gulfport, MS Report #511

Ok, you’re probably saying, “A Chinese Buffet? You’re really reporting on one of THOSE”? Yes, I am. Let me tell you a little story. Not sure if I ever told y’all before but I was a Navy Reservist. At one point during my career, I was assigned to the Seabee Base in Gulfport. I was…

The Rack House Steak & Spirits, Gulfport, MS Report #510

I ended up in Mississippi this weekend. And in the mood for steak. If you’re driving through Gulfport you’re likely to see a billboard for this place. I did, and decided to give it a try! According to their website, a Rack House is a warehouse where distillers store and age their barrels of liquor.…

Cajun’s Fabulous Fried Chicken, Gulfport, MS Report #438

This place is awesome. It seems impossible to find anything about it’s history online so I have to go by memory. Me, my family, and a bunch of fellow New Orleanians I know have been coming here since the early 1980’s. Back then, Popeye’s fried chicken was all the rage. Word spread there was a…

Gourmet Chinese Restaurant, Ridgeland, MS Report #410

Ok, tomorrow I head back to New Orleans to start the process of fixing the hurricane damage to my house. But tonight, we got a hankering for Chinese food. We googled, “Chinese food near me”, and a place called, “Gourmet Chinese Restaurant” pops up. That sounded promising! So we headed on over. Well, when you…
