Amelia’s pick: Chicken Apple Brie Sandwich + Smoked Macaroni and Cheese at Mason Dixon Bakery & Bistro
I’m always on the hunt for a the best gluten-free sandwich, and I found a solid contender at Mason Dixon.
The perfectly grilled chicken paired with the mac and cheese — just read what I had to say:
“As a certified gluten-free girlie, I’m always fighting the wolf inside me that wants a good, filling sandwich. I found that at Mason Dixon. The grilled chicken paired with the sweet crunch of the apple on cranberry bread was phenomenal, not to mention the savory concoction of macaroni, cheese and smoky cheese. Wow. Getting lightheaded running it back.”

Michael’s pick: Cinnamon rolls at Josie’s
Savory + sweet. I mean, what other breakfast could you ask for?
Josie’s in Decatur is bringing the heat (literally) with their cast iron cinnamon rolls:
“Served with a side of bacon, this comes in a cast iron skillet fresh out of the oven.”

Lisa’s pick: Sushi + Margaritas at L Patrón Mexican Grill & Cantina
Get the breezy, summer Saturday feeling whenever you want with the Culiacán-style sushi and peach or mango margaritas rimmed with tajin at Decatur’s L Patrón Mexican Grill & Cantina.
Besides fresh Mexican staples served up with a West Coast flair, the restaurant’s sushi menu includes about a dozen fried and natural rolls, like the Burning Dragon with shrimp tempura, avocado, cream cheese, spicy crab and eel sauce.
Drink your dessert with a whimsical Purple Heart, which comes with a fun sucker garnish of the same name.
“This place rewards the adventurous with an upbeat atmosphere and menu options you won’t expect. If you have any questions, dietary restrictions or want recommendations, just ask. The owners and staff will point you in the right direction.”

Savannah’s pick: Chicken Fajitas at Rosie’s Mexican Cantina
Rosie’s is a Huntsville staple for a reason.
With hometown vibes and a delicious menu to match, you simply cannot beat it.
“Chicken Fajitas for one. The homemade tortillas, warm garlic butter, and charro beans are the best part. Rosie’s is always packed, and for good reason!”

Ryleigh’s pick: Plain bagel with cream cheese with Umami Dearest Latte Gold Sprint
You knew it was coming.
We simply can’t stay away from Gold Sprint in our monthly roundups.
Read what Ryleigh had to say about her favorite breakfast:
This bagel and cream cheese pairing has really set the tone for me wanting to eat this every single morning, because I would if I could! I try to make them myself but nothing (myself or elsewhere) compares to this bagel. It’s so delicious. The coffee also hits the spot! The best bagel with cream cheese I’ve ever had, and I’ve been to New York and had their bagels before!
