Hungry?

Some Youtube foodies posted a rather entertaining video of their sampling of Jackson restaurants.




A shame there was no Two Sisters for them to visit.

Wait, people don't travel here from all over the country to visit our suburban outlet malls? You mean they drove straight through Madison county?

Nice little video but wasn’t it sponsored by the city or chamber of commerce? Agreed on Two Sisters. When I worked at the SC that would always be a great lunch spot.

We hosted a birthday party at the Iron Horse and the staff couldn't have been more professional and accommodating. The food was great and the restaurant is wonderful. Thumbs up!

It was sponsored but the reviews were spot on for the three that I've visited.

Love Iron Horse. Are there last night. It was great but the are is terrible. Pulling up there was a sheriffs office car with lights on keeping away thugs. The whole place is surrounded by a fence and you feel like you are entering a prison upon arrival. There were homeless wandering the streets and the it was a bad scene. I feared for my safety and won’t be returning. That whole area is bad. Mayor Lumumba’s plan is working.

I'm not going to pretend to be an expert on cuisine across the country but I have never been to a city that pound for pound has better culinary options than jxn. Certainly not Memphis or even New Orleans.

Well done, but an interesting mix of establishments. Personally, I'd say you can't "do" Jackson food without The Mayflower Cafe, but these are millennials who I guess are going to gravitate to newer spots.

Yes, they are travel vloggers. What a great way of life they seem to have. And it was brought to you by Visit JACKSON, so no, 11:01, no outlet mall, which is in Rankin Co. But I hope they will come back and cover some spots in Madison County - Natchez Trace, trails, Reservoir, Renaissance for Koestler and Caet local restaurants. And hate they didn't cover Walker's in Fondren, but they hit other cool spots in that area. And Downtown, no Mayflower or King Edward or Lamar or Dickies. They could edit down the eating and cover more ground. Overall, very enjoyable to watch.

I wish they had showed the wax museum upstairs at the Ironhorse. It is a not-very-widely-known treasure.

12:09....I love Iron Horse and have never had an issue. I eat there 6-8 times a year, day and night. Not every black person you see walking down the street is a homeless murderer.

12:20...I can go along with Memphis. But NOLA? Come on man! Its the food capital of north America.

Andy Warhol warned us a long time ago. In the future, everyone will be world-famous for fifteen minutes.

@12:20 only eats at Willie's Chicken Shack when they go to New Orleans.

Yeah I'm hungry but I'm on a PB&J budget. Nice post.

12:20...you need to get out more, overpriced tacos, fake tapas and overdone BBQ do not a culinary destination make.

What about the brick-covered Applebees and Chili's in Madison?

You know, over there in the Walmart, Home Depot and Lowe's tri-plex?

1:43- Who said the homeless people I saw were black? Hmmm, you sure are projecting your racism. Please stop.

Also, yes, they (both black and white) were homeless. Wandering around and sitting around. These people homeless.

And yes, I stand by what I say. Iron Horse is good, but Lumumba’s Utopia is not. It’s a sh*thole.

Thanks Kingfish, but I take my dining advice from MISTER PANDA PANTS!

Scrum-diddly-umptious Ichiban Chinese Buffet!

Now I have to go to Iron Horse for lunch tomorrow!

Heard Iron Horse is adding an outdoor patio.

Why do all milineals look and act like they're from Oregon or Vermont? No makeup, skinny jeans, fake accent, stressed-pronunciation, the faint smell of the inside of a Volvo trunk.

The Mayflower is so overrated! It is ok, but nothing to go crazy over. The few times I have eaten there, the food was bland, although decently to well-cooked.

OhNoMrBill said...

Art Manly because that's what it takes to appeal to the equally vacuous who spend endless hours watching their stupid 'Adventurer' videos on YouBoob.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
