Sometimes you find yourself thinking of that old game, “one of these things is not like the others.”. When Southern Living recently presented its list of “The Best Places to Eat in Gulf Shores, Alabama,” it had a little bit of that vibe. There was a pattern, and there were some outliers. The pattern tended toward big, bright places engineered to serve tourists by the thousands: Bahama Bob’s Beachside Café, Lulu’s, the Hangout, the Original Oyster House. Perch, at Gulf State Park’s lodge, is also part of a big institution. The Sunliner Diner, while smaller and quirkier, is part of the Hangout empire.
