If you have never been to Oxford, Mississippi then you should pack your bags! Double Decker Festival is coming up on Saturday, April 25,2009. You will find the best pottery, art, music and food in the south.
Oxford is filled with southern history and southern cuisine. My favorite place to go is Taylor Grocery. Know for its Catfish and Motto: Eat or We Both Starve- people drive from all over the south to eat here. The store was originally a dry goods store built in the 1880's. Starting in 1977 the dry goods store started frying up catfish and serving it to customers. Catfish is a local staple and favorite to loyal Mississippians. Leave a piece of of you when you leave as patrons are able to sign the wall.
Bottletree Bakery is another local favorite. The air filled with the smell of baked goods and southern cheer. This cozy spot in Oxford bakes their pastries from scratch daily. It is a classic European style bread and pastry bakery with a southern influence flare. All of the tables and chairs are old, miss-matched and wooden
- some are even painted added to the folklore-art-filled room. Single diners enjoy the bar style dining experience with a book and a cup of coffee, while large groups gather at square tables. The sausage biscuits are out of this world and the Apple Humble Pie was on Oprah's Favorite Things.
"She knew that there could be a spell put in trees, and she was familiar from the time she was born with the way bottle trees kept evil spirits from coming into the house -- by luring them inside the colored bottles, where they cannot get out again."
