Amelia’s pick: Teriyaki Chicken at Dashu Japanese Cuisine & Bar

If you’re anything like me, you have a constant need for a crab rangoon within arm’s reach.

Enter Dashu, the quaint Airport Road spot for delicious and satisfying Japanese food:

“Ordering the Teriyaki Chicken at Dashu is not just a meal. It is an experience.

Looking at this picture, you can almost feel the sizzling of the chicken; you can smell the tangy sweetness of their yum yum sauce; you can hear the laughs and giggles of other patrons in the restaurant. Wow. What a rush. I’m getting tingles thinking about it.

Don’t forget mochi for dessert!”

Elizabeth + Brenna’s pick: Veggie Nachos from El Cohete at The Orion

The Orion may be an amazing place to catch a show, but did you know that their menu is also out-of-this-world?

El Cohete is one of two restaurants housed in the amphitheater, and it has Southwestern flair to boot:

“We went to The Orion’s first show of the season and tried the new nachos from El Cohete. It was refreshing, flavorful and light, making it the perfect shareable pre-show snack. We got the vegetarian-friendly option and it was yummy. Plus, it was beautiful!

Fun fact: El Cohete translates to “The Rocket” and is one of the many themed bars at The Orion. All have carefully curated menus using ingredients grown in their community garden.”

Tupelo Honey is already highly regarded by Huntsvillians as one of the best spots to grab a quick bite.

Located in Midcity, the restaurant offers Southern-inspired dishes with unique twists:

“This was seriously one of the best chicken BLTs I have ever had. And a Caesar side salad is the best thing on the planet!”
