Primos Cafe & Bake Shop Jackson, MS - Yahoo! Travel

Primos Cafe & Bake Shop Jackson, MS - Yahoo! Travel: "2323 Lakeland Drive, Suite A, Located in Flowood, Jackson, MS 39232-9514 "

Jackson has been known for the outstanding Primos restaurants in various locations as long as I can remember. I like their Comeback Sauce on salad.

Also Primos does something extra special and inimitable with a plain green salad that tastes simply wonderful.

I've been taking my mother-in-law there forever. She always gets the shrimp remoulade--the sauce is always perfect. Now that I think about it, I believe that Primos consistently has the best salad dressings I've ever eaten.

Also the seafood and vegetables are good and the baked goods and the coffee.

Here is an online review of Primos:

Primos is Premiere
by Kris Gerling from Philadelphia, PA

"I was in Jackson for a speaking engagement for Presbyterian Women and my hostesses took me to Primos for the most wonderful carmamel cake int he whole world. I should have purchased a quart of the frosting to take home. I wish they would ship the frosting. The atmosphere was hometown diner and the service was quick and very friendly. I would go to Primos daily if I lived in Jackson."

Copeland's

History...

Copeland's of New Orleans' roots are part of a culinary evolution that has sparked a revolution in cooking throughout the United States. The city called "The Big Easy" is renowned for its exciting cuisine, among other unique attributes.

New Orleans Creole and Cajun cooking heritage is basically city and country combined. The Creoles were descendants of the French and Spanish settlers, whose cooks added African and American Indian touches to this cooking tradition. The Cajuns were hunters, trappers and fisherman who favored freshly prepared game with heavier spices. Copeland's menu is resplendent with a marvelous combination of Creole and Cajun. The sauces, spices, freshness of every ingredient and pride of the cook, is evident in every Copeland's creation.
