Next up for us in Jackson: an Ed's Burger Joint with a rooftop bar. Reopening the historic Capri Theatre with reclining seats, full bar, & a food menu. We're also opening a 10-lane bowling alley, a full-service restaurant/bar, and a tiki bar. Be on the lookout in the fall of 2020

Fake news. I am a little familiar with Mississippians and their food habits and traditions, and I can say— without hesitation— I have never seen anyone eat “green beans with beef broth” EVER, much less while watching the Super Bowl.

A mom just took a crying baby out of the dining room at the restaurant. The dad stayed and paid the tab. On the way out I pulled him aside and said, “you might not believe me now, but there is a day when you’re going to miss that sound.”

Some would think that closing a restaurant one has owned for over 32 years would be grounds for despair and depression. Not so. Not even close. Today I am thankful for all of the people I have worked with, and all of the people we have served.

On May 25, 1983, I quit drinking. I was 21-years old and I had resigned myself that I wasn’t going to live to see 30. Sadly, I was ok with that. The truth is— at the rate I was going, the lifestyle I was living, and the decisions I was making— I probably wouldn’t have seen 25.

Almost 60% of all American rivers dump into the Mississippi. The next time you’re in New Orleans watching the river run, know that some of that water rushing by, headed for the Mississippi Sound and Gulf, originated in rivers and creeks from New York to Montana

One year ago today I let my idiot son shame me into riding a zip line 500 feet in the air. NO SHOULDER HARNESS, just a fabric seatbelt around our waists. As we left the roof they told us the weight limit (we were 15 lbs over, but too late to stop).

The tunnel inMobile baffles me. Two lanes of traffic come to a standstill going in the tunnel. It’s two lanes of traffic just like on the bridge but people slow down. JUST DRIVE THROUGH THE TUNNEL AT REGULAR SPEED! There’s nothing different, just a little more concrete.

Sadly, Hattiesburg lost another restaurant icon today, Richard Ward.
He, and his brother Ed, opened a Frostop restaurant in H'burg in '57. The Ward twins had the most incredible work ethic I have ever seen.
May your soul be in peace forever. You have certainly earned the rest.
