I am huge fan of poke bowls, and Oshi does not disappoint. I chose the build-your-own option and went with a salmon and spicy tuna bowl over sushi rice with a plethora of add-ins and toppings. I was more than content with the range of options and portion sizes from Oshi, and I was very happy with my meal!

Ashlyn visited Salt Factory pub and opted for an infamous brunch combo of chicken and waffles; check out what she had to say!

“My best bite was found on the brunch menu at Salt in MidCity. The chicken and waffles were the perfect combination of savory and sweet. Additionally, the maple bacon gelato they serve on the side was a yummy bonus.”

Huntsville has a wide-range of local sweet treat spots, and The Moon is one of our favorites for baked goods. Our Senior Content Producer, Elizabeth, especially loved their shortbread chocolate chip cookie this month:

“I crave this shortbread chocolate chip cookie daily. I love the perfect crumbly, soft texture with the rich chocolate chips and sea salt on top. I’ve been on a recent cookie kick, and this one is life changing.”

Michael visited Commerce kitchen and ordered a ribeye. While the steak was amazing, he has special praise for its accompaniments:

“The ribeye at Commerce Kitchen is fabulous. I enjoyed not only the steak itself but also the garlic herb butter on it combined with the potatoes… Wow. I ordered a classic Sidecar to drink and that, also, was fabulous.”

While avoiding the “Shut the Cluck Up” spice level that plagued our team a few months back, Nick still ordered the “hot” spice level of chicken tenders at Hattie B’s alongside their signature Nashville comeback sauce.

Really good—not too spicy!
