A wide range of palates have blended together to form an underappreciated cuisine that rivals New Orleans. Explore cherished restaurants like Wintzell's Oyster House, meet unforgettable figures like Cudjo 'Kazoola' Lewis and savor iconic dishes like the renowned West Indies Salad. Dig in to discover how each bowl of gumbo, slice of king cake and cracked oyster shell have contributed to Mobile's fabric.
