Southern Living names Saltine a Best New Restaurant in the South

Southern Living magazine has named Saltine in Fondren one of the South's best new restaurants. http://www.southernliving.com/travel/2016-best-new-restaurants/oysters-saltine-oyster-bar-jackson-mississippi">The write-up begins:

"You might not think Jackson, Mississippi, when you imagine robust oyster culture. And you might not expect to find a sleek eatery in a repurposed schoolhouse. But Jesse Houston has created such a spot, where he is wholeheartedly supporting a resurgence of American oystermen, such as Murder Point Oysters off Dauphin Island, Alabama. Inside a former elementary school that was built in 1927 in the city’s Fondren District, Houston has turned a series of classrooms into a nautical wonderland worthy of Jules Verne—complete with a massive octopus mural."

Congrats to Jesse and the crew! Hard work and creativity pay off.
