SUMMARY: The Mississippi Gulf Coast, a hidden gem praised by Forbes, boasts 62 miles of coastline, including 26 miles of beaches, making it a gorgeous vacation spot. It’s a haven for dolphin spotting with the Mississippi Sound hosting a significant bottlenose dolphin population. The region is not only home to Mississippi’s first craft brewery, Lazy Magnolia, but also harbors a lost city, the Isle of Caprice, and the ancient Friendship Oak at the University of Southern Mississippi’s Long Beach campus. The Gulf Coast is crucial for the U.S. oyster and shrimp industry and offers 210 sunny days annually for outdoor activities. It’s a prime location for bird watching and has intriguing lore, including the Phantom Barber of Pascagoula. Additionally, the Biloxi Lighthouse stands as a historical beacon, almost two centuries old with a tradition of female light-keepers.

SUMMARY: Craving an Italian sub, I decided to make one at home since the nearest restaurants are far. The key is finding good bread with a crunchy crust, and local options like Henry’s Café, Le Bakery, and Rouses provide decent choices, though I prefer to hollow them out slightly. For the filling, classic ingredients include lettuce, tomato, onions, mayo, pepperoni, capocollo, genoa salami, and cheeses like provolone or taleggio. For a budget-friendly sub, I’d recommend veggies, pepperoni, and seared mortadella with a drizzle of olive oil and a quick oven warm-up to melt the cheese. Don’t skimp on the meat!
