Better late than never..
I was in Jackson the week before last. I am new to Jackson so I checked the free weekly: The Jackson Free Press. The issue I picked up included a dining guide. Perfect. Armed with their map of downtown with over a dozen restaurants marked I headed south on 55.
Suffice to say, not much is open in Jackson, MS on a weeknight. After some looking I found Hal and Mal’s Restaurant and Brewery.
The catfish sandwich is good. The bread left a little to be desired but the rest made it worth it.
I even received a marriage proposal. Now, she had been drinking most of the day but was a lawyer and and a reader. She recommended:
A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Wolf,
The Moviegoer by Walker Percy,
Women by Charles Bukowski and
A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers
I have not read any of them but they’re now on my list.
Remember that I have “A Heartbreaking Work…” It is indeed a great book.
Morgan,
Next time you are in Jackson, you should try a Japanese place called Kyoto’s. It’s Hibachi style and very good. Make sure to ask for the hot sauce.
