Came here with my son-in-law after the egg bowl…read more We were able to be seated immediately in the back area booths near the beer wall. I decided to try the Red Beans and Rice (red beans marinated for 24 hours, simmered with sausage, ribeye, and vegetables, and served over rice). While the ribeye added to the traditional dish, I was not a fan of the overall end result. It actually seemed like the whole dish had been cooked for 24 hours until there was almost no moisture left. The rice part was fine. My son-in-law decided to try the fried catfish I had been considering. While cooked well and had good flavor, the batter was not the expected cornmeal style normally associated with fried catfish. They were also out of the particular beer he had been wanting to try. After multiple attempts to pick one from the menu, the server said it might be easier to show you what we do have on tap. Service on this visit also left a lot to be desired. From the delay taking the order, having to flag a server down for drink refills and even to get the check. It was not busy enough to cause the service we received. We had been before with my daughter and wife and had a much better experience. So I am not sure if things have gone downhill or just an anomaly. The burger I had on the previous visit was very good and the Rosey Chips (house made potato chips) were pretty good too. My daughter is a big fan of their fried pickles appetizer. Will. Give them another shot, yes but there are plenty of other options we will likely go to first.

Does it count if I visit Davis Wade Stadium but don't actually attend a game??…read moreAccording to my friend Chris, it does NOT COUNT! C'mon Chris really?!?! But in my book, yes, it's a check off the list! So yesterday, on a beautiful spring morning in Starkville, Mississippi, I showed up on the campus of Mississippi State University and walked around Davis Wade Stadium. And for those who are familiar with TikTok, G-Fed tours every D-1 college football stadium (not on game days) and gets credit for it. Now it's my turn, lol. Davis Wade sits in the middle of Mississippi State's campus. First up from the parking lot, you have an undisturbed view of the home side of the stadium. It's perfect for a picture moment with Mississippi State's big "M" logo highlighting this section. Also noticeable were a few banners hanging parallel to the "M" State logo of their famous alumni now succeeding in the NFL. Players like Dak Prescott, Darius Slay and Chris Jones. Walking to the right hand side is the first of two end zones. And this is where things got dramatic, real fast (yes for me being a college football fan, lol)... Mississippi State's lettering was boldly painted behind the end zone scoreboard. Now...if you follow the brick path away from the scoreboard, you approach a statue of their mascot, the bulldog. Then if you turn around for a picture, you not only get the bulldog mascot, but you capture the Mississippi State signed scoreboard in the background too. Within one frame, they make a terrific college football stadium setting, with plenty of charming green grass and trees surrounding it all. I definitely took too many photos here, but I was having fun in the moment. And...for 11am on a Sunday, the campus was quiet and I didn't have to contend with students interfering with my picture taking, lol. Moving on...the horizontal back section of the stadium didn't offer much. I walked past a police station but at least there were more trees and grass to admire (which I didn't mind, lol). Lastly, the second end zone showcased a simple brick building facade. It had an old fashioned feel to it. Underneath the awning representing this end zone were large puzzle pieces embedded into the pavement comprising all the counties that make up Mississippi. It was interesting to observe. And Starkville is located towards the northeast section of the state. Then finally, the walk around felt like a mission successfully completed (from my pov, hahaha). It didn't take long. I finished in under 90 minutes and that was slowly taking my time. Here are some extra thoughts... - I wasn't able to get glimpses inside Davis Wade Stadium or onto the field from outside. - I parked in the front parking lot, but come game days, that won't be feasible whatsoever. - According to Google, Davis Wade Stadium only holds 61,000 seats, but by the looks of walking around, I would think it could pack in a lot more fans, maybe 80,000 - 90,000. - I hope to attend a game someday in the future. There's nothing like SEC football. The best players from the best conference in the country with some of the best stadium atmospheres. And I'd love to hear those iconic cow bells ringing all game long. Overall, I'm glad I made the effort to stop at Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville, MS. For me as a college football fan, I've watched plenty of games on television, but to actually be here with my own two feet and standing on Mississippi State's campus, in person, was a huge thrill whether there was a game being played or not. Thanks for having me Bulldogs!

Having now been to games in Oxford and Starkville, the experiences could hardly have been more…read moredifferent. At Ole Miss, in the famous Grove, "F*CK YOU AGGIES" was yelled at me - more than once - while carrying my young daughter on my shoulders. At the game, Ole Miss fans spit sunflower seeds on my wife and son. Very classy. At Mississippi State, we enjoyed touring the beautiful campus, stopping to see the Grant and Lincoln collections at the library. We were among State fans a lot, at Bulldog Burger before the game and in a State section of the stadium. To the last person, everyone was friendly or least polite. I would be at 5 stars if not for cowbells! I didn't have preconceptions about these schools before, but now there's only one thing left to say. HAIL STATE!

This was my second time attending this music festival and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was well…read moreattended by friendly folks from all over. The food and concessions are good and the prices are reasonable. It was billed to me as a bluegrass music festival but as much or more the music is folk and Americana. It is family friendly. We arrived Friday afternoon around 5PM and there was hardly a space left to pitch a tent but a friend helped us find a good spot. Many I spoke with had been there for a few days and I was also told that you can get there even a week earlier to mark out a spot. Four showers and plenty of port-o-potties. It is 97% primitive camping. Being a music festival we heard from many talents among whom I enjoyed the Herb Trotman Band's bluegrass. I go for the bluegrass. I also enjoyed Todd Snider's one man performance with his humorous and witty lyrics, but as the night progressed he got just a little too political for my taste so I turned in a little early. Those camping around us could be heard picking, laughing, singing and having a wonderful time all night long. Saturday morning I must say I slept through the nature walk and morning yoga but I did walk about and filled my cup with the complementary coffee more than a few times. Saturday night featured a no show in form of Tony Rice Unit who had called in with sickness, but we were blessed with the scratch band the guys put together and though I can't quite remember the group name they came up with they won the crowd over. I hope they play instead of Tony next year. Dread Clampitt is a regular favorite each year at the Acoustic Cafe. I had only heard them once before at last years festival and I honestly did not care for them. I have to be honest, but I am so glad I gave them second listen. They seemed like a completely different band and I was absolutely blown away. Dread Clampitt, I can't wait until next year. Claire Lynch Band came up the rear as the final performance of the night and I turned in quite late with sounds of fiddles, banjos, and mandolins ringing in my ears. I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend in Haleyville, Alabama while attending the Acoustic Cafe 2013 and I look forward to returning next year. Oh and last but not least, there is a whole lot of hula hooping going on. Give it a chance and you'll might become a regular.

In New Orleans, if you go below street level, you are probably either in water or in the sewer. Growing up below sea level messes with your head.

The food is delicious, the beer is cold and plentiful, and it is a great place to watch a game, grab a meal, or just sit around and talk with friends. It also happens to be the first place I ate when I came to Oxford looking for apartments, so it will always have a fond spot in my heart. It is not fancy, and that is exactly why I like it. Hungry? Come here for lunch or dinner. A few standouts for me are the Cuban, the burger, and the nachos. All damn good. Oxford has plenty of newer, prettier, fancier places, but there is something about The Blind Pig that just works.
