    Fish Taco at Tybee Social Club in Tybee Island, GA

    I have a deep and abiding love for fish tacos and this is one of the most flavorful ones I've ever had. It features a piece of lightly breaded, pan-seared white fish cozied up alongside a crispy strip of bacon. Topped with a chorizo-pear puree and fresh cilantro on a corn tortilla.

    Madras Curry Chicken Salad Sandwich at Back in the Day Bakery in Savannah, Georgia

    This sandwich could change your life. I don't even like chicken salad, but I can't stop myself from ordering this sandwich every time I go to Back In The Day Bakery. Wash it down with a Sprecher's Root Beer or Cream Soda. And save room for a cupcake or two.

    Beef Brisket Sandwich at Wiley's Championship BBQ in Savannah, Georgia

    Being born and raised in the South, pulled pork and ribs have always been the epitome of BBQ for me. And while both are second to none at Wiley's, their brisket is in a class all its own. If it was good enough to convert me, you simply must try it.

    buffet at Mrs Wilkes' Dining Room in Savannah, GA

    Tourists eat at The Lady & Sons; locals eat at Mrs. Wilkes'. Nothing against Paula Deen, but Mrs. Wilkes' was cooking southern comfort food favorites for the Queen of England when Paula was just a girl. Mrs. Wilkes' Dining Room is third generation family-owned and still cooks up southern classics using Mrs. Wilkes original recipes.
