Peanut Butter Hamburgers, Alligator Tail Po-Boys, and Muscadine Ice Cream
Posted July 15th, 2009 at 01:07 AM by TiderinMiss
Greetings from Starkville! The natives call it StarkVegas, though I'm not sure which is the punch line: The fact that it's so far removed from Vegas or it's a gamble to be here.
Seriously, it's been pretty good. They do make some good red rhine cheese and I actually have had some of their sweet potato coffee and sweet potato ice cream. They even make muscadine ice cream at their MAFES store on campus.
The MAFES Store @ MSU where they make the cheese and ice cream.
Again, I'm here for a curriculum redesign program and training for a new course I'm to teach this fall back in Clinton.. I've met some great people, one particular person who I've become good friends with. He's from Mobile (Saraland) and is a big Bama fan! We've been paired together for the past couple of weeksand it's been a blessing working with him.
They actually have some good eating places in Starkville. I'm always looking for something unique to eat, and, by golly, I think I found it here!
Mug Shots Bar & Grill downtown Starkville.
Last week, I visited Mug Shots Bar and Grill in downtown Starkville. They have other locations in Tuscaloosa, Hattiesburg, and Jackson. Their specialty is "beer and burgers" so being the burger connoisseur that I am, I checked out their menu. The one that caught my eye was the Anthony Burger, which is two buns, a hamburger patty, and peanut butter spread on each bun. It was actually pretty good (reminded me of breakfast sausage with syrup from the pancakes on it) and I reccomend you to try it...just don't put any condiments or lettuce or tomato on it.
My alligator po boy @ Oby's.
Today, I visited the original Oby's on Academy St. Great atmosphere, and prices were pretty good. They specialize in cajun food, especially po boys.
The po boy that caught my eye was the alligator tail po boy. I had to give it a try. I mean, why not? About two years ago, I went camping with a dear friend of mine (he passed away last October and was a big MSU fan) and we cooked up some frog legs with our catfish. Ever heard the cliche' "It tastes just like chicken"? Well, when eating amphibian and reptile, from my experience, it really does! Maybe chickens need to belong in the amphibian and reptile group. The alligator po boy tasted great and I reccomend trying it whenever one is here in Starkville.
I'll be here another week, so I'm sure there's some unique or weird dish I haven't tried. When I do, I'll let you know.
Is it football season, yet?!
Cheers.
