Mississippi Prawns

Really cool that we are 'growing our own' and becoming less dependent upon foreign seafood....cant wait to eat some!
Wow, these prawns are awesome! Very clean flavor, much more like lobster than shrimp...

Viking Factory Tour

Just finished a great tour of the Viking Factory in Greenwood, Miss. What a great company!

They make cooktops, ranges, stoves, etc...The people are super-friendly and very dedicated...less than 1% employee turnover! Wow!

Fred Carl is the president, didn't meet him, but hope to connect with their marketing department to discuss Meet Me in the Kitchen collaboration...

The Crown in Downtown Indianola, Mississippi

I just had lunch at The Crown.

The owner, evelyn, walked us through an amazing meal in her quaint little store. The salad had an amazing sweet/sour dressing with diced cantelope, romaine, crispy fresh bacon bits.
The place to find great authentic Southern Quisine in Indianola.


Their shop is called Taste of Gourmet.
