6 Mississippi Seafood Buffets Keep Bringing Out Crab Legs Until You Wave Them Off

A road trip across Mississippi once taught me that the best crab legs can show up in the least fancy places, like a dining room or a roadside spot with farm tools on the walls. The trays keep coming, the butter stays warm, and nobody rushes you out the door.

Belle Terre residents to weigh in on new Kroger store in Gluckstadt

Belle Terre community members are about to decide the future of a proposed 87,000-square-foot supermarket in Gluckstadt . National grocery chain Kroger is looking to build a new store at Bozeman Road but will need the approval of Belle Terre residents, who own the right to block large business spaces in the area. According to Gluckstadt Planning and Zoning Commissioner Caine Dearman, there is a restrictive covenant due to a previous lawsuit on the proposed 39-acre lot at the southwest corner of Bozeman Road and Gluckstadt Road.

Homeowners can grant a waiver, but developers would need at least 55% approval of the Belle Terre residents in the subdivision on the southeast side of the intersection. Efforts to contact Gluckstadt Mayor Walter Morrison and property owner Ginger Edwards proved unsuccessful, but Dearman said the proposal hasn’t officially been brought in front of the city. The

‘Smooth and Steady’: Poppy Pies Earns Michelin Recognition After Nearly 5 Years of Operation in Jackson

Gray Welch looked inside the refrigerator of his Hinds County home in 2021, scouring over what ingredients he had available to him to make some sample pizzas for his friends to try later that day. As the cool air hit his glasses, he took inventory, seeing pepperoni, shredded cheese, cream cheese, bacon, green onions and Ritz crackers. He’d already recently made a dip using these same ingredients for his friend’s wedding.
