You realize the original owner was a classical trained chef and they have a new classicly trained chef running the show? Those 2 guys are more than qualified to cook ?real? Italian food. They make their dough and pasta from scratch. That?s real Italian food dude. Go look at their Instagram and see what they?re whipping up. It?s high level stuff. If you want to dump on the place that?s fine but you couldn?t be more wrong.Quote:

All those things were firsts for Starkville. His brother Paul worked everyday as the baker and prep cook starting at 5am. His wife Mary worked 7 days a week doing literally everything. I know Ty and Jay get all the culinary love in Starkville but the Tkach’s brought a ton of new stuff before there was anything. If there is a Mount Rushmore of the Starkville food/culinary scene, the Tkach’s belong on it.
Hey for you steak lovers in the GTR, y?all need to go check out Yamato Steakhouse in West Point. Place looks like the shit. Passed it earlier on my way home from Hunting. I?m Only halfway joking. It could be a good place.
Slight hijack. Assuming everyone rides around without radio on or has Sirius in the GTR It?s either too pop hits, new BA pop country or the new techno/auto tune/mumbling like you have a mouth full of grapes rap. Maybe this explains why Bounds still has a job. 0.0000 competition in large swaths of the state.
Then he should open up an Italian restaurant and not a bagel shop. And who is dumping on his place? I'm sure he makes some fine food, but I'd still like an actual Italian restaurant.Quote:

Lumping a place like Torchy's in with Mexican restaurants is inaccurate.Quote:

It's overplayed IMO unless you did something super unique.
You only mentioned college towns in Mississippi. How about Austin, TX, Fayetteville, Norman, Stillwater, College Station, Fort Worth, Boulder, etc?
You only mentioned towns in Mississippi & I'm telling you what works in damn near the entire middle of the country.
The people who own Harvey's and the grill opened a southern style food restaurant in Tupelo called South and it didn't make it. Had it made it I expected one like it in Starkville. Anthonys Market in West Point has the best steak in the golden triangle and it's not even close.
Damn there are a lot of restaurants in Starkville.Quote:

Humble tacos will be another great addition with fresh, from scratch, tacos and Latin American food with a southern twist. There is one Italian restaurant coming and another in the works. The one in the works would be opened by a classically trained chef that actually studied in Italy. Thames and his group buying city bagel was a great move to keep that staple going. Other restaurants are looking to expand and other concepts looking for locations. Plenty of burger, Mexican and bbq to go around
Eta I haven?t eaten there in a while but I thought more people were big on Stromboli?s as well.
I?ve eaten at the one in Greenwood. It?s ok. Poor man?s Umi?s.Quote:

When ESPN goes to Oxford, Starkville, or Hattiesburg where do they send the crew to go eat and shout out on air? Hint: it ain’t the Lebanese/Greek place. It ain’t the Tai Fusion Place. It ain’t the Pho joint. And I totally dig all those kinds of food. What’s going to make Starkville food thrive is talented restaurant concept guys & talented operators serve badass authentic to the area food. Not weirdo niche stuff (and I’m in to all kinds of weirdo niche stuff). There are already some doing that and more and more are jumping in.Quote:

Another Broken Egg would be perfect for breakfast.
Starkville needs a Cracker Barrel (Serves down home food that the locals love), A Pappasito's or Chuy's Mexican Restaurant, and/or a Cajun/Seafood place. I will say this, the morning after an evening football game it is difficult to find breakfast in Starkville.
I don’t even understand what argument y’all are trying to make. It’s literally called City Bagel Cafe & Italian Bistro. A Bistro is a small restaurant. Are y’all saying you enjoyed average to below average Italian at Old Venice because it was a bigger place that was decorated better? The best Cuban food I’ve ever had was on the corner of Duval in Key West from a stand connected to a corner Grocery. Is that experience discounted because it wasn’t a real Cuban restaurant? Ever eaten at the original Doe’s? How about Gibbes Grocery in Learnid?Quote:

I'm saying I'd like a restaurant because it's what they do and it's available every time the doors are open instead of a sometimes thing. Most people don't even know City Bagel does Italian anyway. I don't see how it's so difficult to see the difference between a bagel place that does some Italian sometimes and an actual Italian restaurant...Quote:

A Chianti fountain and throw tomatoes & buffalo mozzarella at people walking down University?

Chianti fountain and thrown buffalo mozzarella - that's Hilarious!Quote:

Nothing makes southern people fight more than food. Maybe football but definitely food.
Who is going to eat at these Resturants May 15 Through September 1st and December through February 13th?
It's amazing that people would complain that the authentic Italian place in Starkville isn't Italian enough for them. It's Starkville for crying out loud - not Nashville or Atlanta or even Jackson. It's actually pretty cool that a town as small as Starkville has authentic Italian food from classically trained chefs, and the fact that it comes from a Bagel cafe gives it and the town a bit more character and charm.
If they don't have red and white checkered table cloths made out of that plasticy/vinyl, it ain't f*** I-talian!!!Quote:
