What's for Lunch this week?

The Rawls or The Rawls or maybe The Rawls!  Oh my gosh!  I rewarded my folks that showed up on time for the staff meeting today (what does that say when I have to bribe them?) by taking them out to lunch.  We went to The Rawls!  Ya'll the food is fabulous!  I had the squash soup with basil cream and shared a steak sandwich.  It was wonderful but......... I tasted Chef Bill's version of the BLT and OMG it was fantastic!  I can't wait to go back, oh wait, I'm going for dinner tomorrow night, so do I want to each lunch there too?  Oh yeah!  I do! 

So, what's for lunch?  Who cares if you go to The Rawls, it doesn't matter what's for lunch as long as you know where to go for lunch!

The Rawls downtown Enterprise at 119 Main Street.  See ya there!

Claybank Jamboree in Ozark

Ozark, AL has a great fall street festival and it is called the Claybank Jamboree.  This festival is held on the first Saturday of October every year.  It is smack dab in the middle of downtown along all of the streets of the town square and beyond the square in a couple of directions.  They had a great band Saturday morning, I do love brass.  There was lots of great food, art, crafts and more.  Did you know they make jelly from Cudzo blossoms?  Oh yeah, and I had to have some.  Not bad, but then it was  jelly, how bad could it be?  On each corner downtown there are beautiful plants and flowers.  Ozark just has a delightful downtown. 

While you are in Ozark, don't miss the drive up Broad Street.  There are antebellum homes lined up both sides of the road.  Beautiful architecture and it just takes you back to the early 1900's.  There are all kinds of stories about these old homes.

Years ago I was in the Holman Home and taking a tour from the current resident, one of the Holman family folk.  He showed me all around both floors, great mantels and there was something about a mule trader and there were mules carved into the mantels in the living room and dining room on the main floor.  Of course there were fireplaces in all of the rooms.   We toured upstairs and then into the attic!  It was loaded with treasures, you can just imagine but the thing I most remember was an old spinning wheel.  It still worked, or so I was told, can't imagine how you would make it work.

Do you know any stories of the homes on Broad Street?  If so, please share.

Sushi

Today I was showing a couple some rental homes in Enterprise.  They are moving from California and just trying to get the lay of the land around here.

We were talking about things around the area and how it isn't easy to find out information about the area here.  What do you want to know?  Where do we get good sushi? 

You know, food is personal ............. but this is what I think about sushi.  For my redneck (yes I say that lovingly) I will eat bait!  I love sushi, not crazy about sea urchin but most everything else is good with me. 

There are plenty of places around here that serve sushi and some are excellent in my humble opinion.  Myori's in Enterprise is very good.  They have some great rolls and I will always skip the Hibatchi and go to a regular table for some sushi.  My favorite is the rainbow roll.  Yes, everybody has one but it is very good.  There is a place in Daleville, just outside the Ft. Rucker gate on the left.  Not my favorite, matter of fact, I'm not planning on going back.

Kyoto's is the bomb for sushi!  It is located on the north side of Dothan off Hwy 231 in a small strip center.  That is my very favorite sushi place and the lemon roll is one of my favorite treats.  Try it, you'll like it!  They have other stuff if your friends don't like to eat bait!

All in all, Myori's is my regular place and Kyoto's is my favorite.
