About This Issue
Ready for an inspired mind and a rumbling tummy? Our Ultimate Dining Guide is filled to the brim with new places to explore and excite your palate. Whether it’s a new addition to the menu of an old favorite or and all-out new experience, the toughest choice will be deciding where to go first!
Inside this month’s issue, you’ll find profiles and reviews of restaurants from one end of the Coast to the other. Even the most adventurous foodies will be hard pressed to have tried every restaurant in town. Challenge yourself by checking off the restaurants you’ve visited in our 12 pages of listings! While there’s not technically an award for completing that particular challenge, I’m sure it comes with a sense of pride and a very happy belly.
On the cover this month is Bozo’s Too in Pascagoula! We had an absolute blast spending the day with their team and curating a craving-inducing cover. And I’ll be honest, those crawfish were some of the easiest models to work with (delicious, too). Thanks so much to our friends at Bozo’s for letting us run around your restaurant all afternoon and accommodating all of our wacky requests!
Also in this section, read all about The Traveler, the newest addition to the Walter Anderson Museum of Art. Inspired by Anderson’s international travels, The Traveler aims to grow the legacy of Ocean Springs by integrating art, culture and community. Here, guests can sip from Shearwater pottery and enjoy a bite to eat, all while experiencing art installations, garden spaces, live music and performances, and community programs.
The Coast also has some great events coming up in May. From the Taste of Ocean Springs Food & Wine Festival to the Gulf Coast Oyster Cook Off & Festival, there’s something for everyone. Check out our monthly calendar of events and mark your personal calendars with your favorites!
