Hey guys, it’s Ashton! I have a HUGE announcement. I have decided to become a construction worker!!
My friends at visitjacksonms sent us to the mschildsmuseum and I learned how to operate a tractor! I’m hooked!
Thumbs up if you think I’d make a cool construction worker 😎

Are you brunching today? If so- where at and what are you having? Let me know in the comments section below!
On my recent visit to Jackson, MS our last meal of the trip was brunch at themanshipjxn and it was a great way to close out the trip.
I went for the crispy roasted duck leg over smoked gouda grits topped with a fried egg. And as good as that sounds, it tasted even better!

Would you ever stay in a haunted hotel? Let me know yes or no in the comments section below!
Rumor has it that a Civil War soldier named Joseph haunts one of the upstairs rooms of the fairview_inn in Jackson, Mississippi, where I recently stayed.
An investigation into the hotel by one psychic claims she found a ghostly portal on the property. Another guest claimed the ghost of a child could be heard rolling marbles down the stairs at night!
But don't let rumors of hauntings scare you off- I never spotted a ghost during my stay at The Fairview!

What is one of your favorite childhood foods that you don't really eat now that you're an adult? Let me know in the comments section below!
For me, it's definitely corndogs so you can imagine how excited I was when thepigandpint set these grown up corndogs on the table in front of us. What makes them grown up you as? Pork belly. Yes- these are pork belly corndogs. I've never heard of these before- what a time to be alive. And yes, they were every bit as delicious as they sound.
Thank you to finditinfondren for arranging our amazing (first) lunch here yesterday- this place will definitely be in my upcoming guide detailing where to eat in Jackson!

One of the best things we've had on our visit has been this insanely delicious homemade biscuit with fried catfish and slow from crazycateatup. I would come back to #VisitJacksonMS again just to have this one more time!

This hole in the wall has been featured by Anthony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmern, which is already saying a lot. It’s known for their smokes and pig ear sandwiches, but it is so much more than a restaurant. The bigappleinn has been around since the late 1930’s and it’s played a major role in the community.
In fact, it once served as an office and meeting point for civil rights groups and freedom writers in the 1960s. I got a chance to speak with the (4th generation) owner, Geno Lee, about his family business, their story, and how they created the most interesting sandwich in America. - swipe right to watch him tell his story!
So happy to share his story and business with y’all in this way! Would you try a pig ear sandwich?

What is your very favorite kind of pasta? Let me know in the comments section!
We loved this dish of homemade gnocchi with braised short ribs finished with freshly shaved black truffles that we had at parlormarket.
Not only does Parlor Market make their own pasta in house but they also cure their own charcuterie-- seriously impressive.

While I'm a loyal fan of loverococo.okc in my hometown of Oklahoma City I have to admit these from charofjxn were also really delicious. eatlivetraveldrink and I sampled these during our visit to Char located in highlandvillagejxn.

I always mention that I don't have much of a sweet tooth but I'll almost always try a bite of dessert in the name of research. I have to admit this bread pudding from crazycateatup was really tasty!
