Pull up a chair for a classic taste of Jackson nostalgia!

For two centuries, Jackson has collected--like burrs on denim--flavors, dishes, aesthetics, customs, cuisines. The great tapestry of tastes -- what Mississippians like to eat -- can be experienced at the old restaurants of the city. In this book, the authors look at 18 of these classics. Some serve what Mississippians have loved forever: flaky catfish, crusty cornbread, well-seasoned redfish. Some serve that brought by fortune-seekers and slaves: steaks thick and bloody, greens simmered but sturdy, red beans creamy and falling apart. Some serve America: burgers with that triangle of yellow cheese peeking from under the bun, milkshakes in tall fluted glasses, poboys dropping fried shrimp everywhere. Some innovate, while others do tradition. There are dives, watering holes, venues, bright little cafés, and white tablecloth spots. They're all delicious, and are a big reason Jackson was named the South's Top Culinary Town by the Local Palate in 2025.
