Now that Mardi Gras is over and the Lenten season is upon us, it’s time to do something constructive and entertaining with the kids. The perfect place to go is the History Museum of Mobile.

Occasionally, a dining experience exceeds your wildest expectations. It’s happened twice to me in Fairhope, and both times it was courtesy of Chef Orlando Amaro. He has a fantastic talent and never disappoints. It’s a testament to his passion for pleasing his guests, wherever he happens to be. His resume is a global Who’s Who of award-winning restaurants, several with Michelin stars next to their name.
