Day 153. January 6, 2014. Mississippi BBQ

Another record-breaking cold morning for southern Mississippi.  We took a little hike and huddled in the camper until it warmed up a bit.  We drove along the coast to Biloxi.  For Christmas, our daughter Meredith gave us a list of restaurants she found online along our route.  We went to one in Biloxi. We had their dry-rubbed smoked chicken sandwich with their homemade BBQ sauce and fried jalapeño peppers.  We certainly filled up at the Fillin' Station.  Haha

We went to the visitors' center and saw photos of pre-and post Katrina.  We watched a movie about Biloxi.  They featured 3 restaurants, including this one.  Meredith knows how to pick them!  We drove by all their casinos.  See Hard Rock picture below.   They were all rebuilt after Katrina, and seem to be the primary business here,

Then we returned to a Muddy Waters BBQ and Blues in Gulfport where we had eaten the smoked chicken wings before.  We got BBQd ribs and pulled pork to go, to eat later in the camper.  For our sides, we did the Southern thing and had collared greens and fried okra.

George also bought some jumbo shrimp which we had as an appetizer.  They call them a Royal  Reds here.  We had a great campfire to warm us up.

This southern food day was fabulous!
