Cheese steak with onions all the way (Mistilis Restaurant)

Who wants one of those?

This is an Oxford restaurant memory. Mistilis had its last location out on College Hill Road (it’s first was next to the Eagle on Jackson Avenue as far as I know). The main things there as far as I was concerned were the cheese steak, mentioned above, a chef’s salad with his [...]

Missing Dog Report in Square area in Oxford

Gail Brown posted the above and following on Facebook and I was asked to relay it on my blog.

ATTN OXFORD, MS FRIENDS: I have found reason to believe our MISSING DOG is now in Oxford and been around the areas of North Lamar & around the downtown square. If you are around town and see a [...]

Mississippi Barbecue: Oddly enough, my current favorite is in Oxford– Tallulah’s Kitchen

This must be karma or something, but the real irony of my Mississippi barbecue tour is that the best sandwich I’ve eaten in the whole series, (and probably the best in Mississippi, although the state of Mississippi barbecue makes me think this may be like being the best gumbo in Kansas) is from Tallulah’s Kitchen right [...]

Smitty’s, Grundy’s and the art deco diner look

The folks at 208 are making another improvement– they are putting back the art deco glass brick that used to cover the place and that the Smitty’s folks made the horrendous mistake of covering with off-white half-brick, I think in the 1980s.

Smitty’s inherited from its predecessor, Grundy’s, a wonderful art deco diner look. It had [...]

Another quick visit to Oxford story, this time in the Washington Post

The Washington Post sends someone to report on a quick-visit-to-Oxford, and they find the bar at the City Grocery, turnip greens at Ajax, Square Books, Rowan Oak, the Blues Archive, LQC Lamar’s house, and not much else. This has been done before, a lot [...]

Tuesday lunch at Marie’s Lebanese Cuisine

Tuesday lunch at Marie’s here in Oxford is maklubi. It is (this is far too prosaic a description) shredded cooked chicken and toasted pine nuts and almonds on rice cooked with ground meat in it, and, along with kebbeh and Marie’s casserole, among my favorite things on Marie’s menu.

The restaurant’s last day is Friday, which means [...]

That picture triggered my olfactory nerve, and I was back in Oxford, circa 1965, walking into Mistilis' and plowing into that first of many hamburger steaks. Good Lord! I'm still salivating. ..
