While in Jackson for a long weekend, I wanted something from a small restaurant or from a hole in…read morethe wall. Sugar's Place was as close as I was going to get on my first pass Google search. The chicken and waffle was just what I needed. Get the wings if you order this dish. I took the recommendation from the cashier and I am glad that I did. Waffle wasn't sugary. The wings were proper crispy and seasoned just right, not heavy-handed on the salt and not underwhelming either. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. Food is cooked to order, so nothing came to the table as if it had been quickly reheated or microwaved. Next time I come home to visit, this will be my destination for breakfast one of the days I'm home. And seeing that they also have lunch and dinner options, I may stop in later in the day for that.

Lunch today was at a new spot for me. After watching the Soul Food documentary on Hulu, I decided…read moreto try Maxine's Old Country Kitchen. The staff working the line was so sweet and patient as I tried to make a decision. There were so many good looking sides that I went with a veggie plate and added one smoked wing. That Mac n cheese was heavenly. Oh man it was good. The Lima beans were flavroful, as were the collard greens. I didn't care for the boiled okra, as the dish lacked seasoning and the cornbread wasn't my favorite. I will still go back to get a plate as I love plate lunches where I can get home-style vegetables! Address is 1254 Macon St, right off of Lynch Street.

This place is located in South Jackson and perfect location to stop by if you live close. I would definitely order food again from here. The only thing I have bad to say is that there are Dallas Cowboys signs everywhere. Everyone knows the Saints are the best!!

I heard that Big Apple Inn in Jackson is known for their pig ear sliders and I also heard good…read morethings about their smoky sausage slider too so I came here to give it a try. It definitely looks like the place has been here for a while now. Looking at them make the sliders, it seems like they definitely have an efficient operation here. Trying out the pig ear sliders, the pig ears seemed more gelatinous than pig ears I've usually had, so that was definitely a different experience for me!

I believe anyone who has ever come through Mississippi for a brief or long stay knows about The Hot…read moreSmokes at Big Apple Inn. Now, it's up to you if you want hot, mild, or no heat. But trust me, we all get the hot. It's the right amount of heat that doesn't set your mouth on fire. You don't need a glass of water nearby. The heat, in this case, adds flavor to an already-favorable sandwich. Another thing is that no one orders, just one smoke. In the past, I saw numbers go as high as ten hot smokes and five pig ears. Yes, they serve the most tender pig ears. But yesterday, the orders were as high as 35 smokes and several pig ears. And if you don't want the pig ears on a bun, it's your choice to have them put in a container. Also, I love the family atmosphere; it's a small place with a couple of long tables. Most people come in know the next person in line, and they shoot the breeze until their order is ready. I'm sure that during my college days, I accepted lots of dates in that line. We all did! But, I want you to know there is a second location now, and I'm sure it's just as good as this one with the same recipe, but I prefer this location in the heart of Downtown Farrish Street.
