Been to Hamil's...I liked it.
Walker's has been a personal favorite thusfar. I also like the middle eastern place in the Fondren...the name escapes me, but it is much better than the BR places that people rave about on here. Lebanon's is the only better place I have been to.

Never been, but I'd guess it's a bunch of tourist geared crap.

I haven't even heard of that place. I will check it out.
I want to try Mint as well.
People are quick to rip on the food in Jackson because Jackson is lacking as a city in many ways...there is a good liklihood that those people live in a lesser food city than Jackson.

Had some good experiences in Naples recently. Caught me a bit off guard. Also, the median age in that town is 70.

Also, even though I hate the place, Las Vegas has as dense a concentration of fine restaurants as virtually any city in the US. There are even a handful of very good local places.

I've been pleasantly surprised with Fort Worth cuisine.

Oaxaca, based on Mexicans working in big time U.S. restaurants. Guys from that region dominate the scene. I have never been, but i love the places i have eaten that focus on Oaxacan cuisine....lots of moles, stews/soups, fish, beans, and good chocolates.

70 is the whippersnappers.
Did you ride around in a golf cart. A fried used to cook at the Ritz in Naples, Said he he felt like he was in a hidden camera version of "Cocoon".

Interesting...thanks...I think I can sell this one...
"The city of Oaxaca has long been considered "Mexico's culinary capital."[18] The most notable aspect of Oaxacan cuisine is its variety of moles, a type of complex sauce. Their origins go back to the melding of Spanish and Arabic food in Spain. After the Conquest, New World ingredients such as chile mulato, 'miltomate' (a small whitish wild tomato), tomatoes, peanuts, avocado leaves, and chocolate were incorporated. While moles can be found in many parts of Mexico, Oaxaca has the greatest variety including negro (black), colorado (red), coloradito (faint red), chichilo, verde (green), amarillo (yellow), and mancha manteles (lit. 'stainer of tablecloths'). They are sold in markets all over the city as a paste which is combined with water and simmered with a variety of meats."
