I love your tips and pointers! Your videos are always informative and fun to watch. Also, I love your presentation style. So many presenters can be loud and annoying, but you use a normal volume and you don't act over-excited to get people's attention. That's one of the things that makes me keep watching your videos. Keep doing what you're doing.
The best places we had down there was Miguel’s beach and Baja. Tacos were amazing. Foxys is always a hit and for a sit down restaurant, pirates was pretty good as well
Sounds like you had a great time! Eating out is half the fun! We love trying new places & checking out local food markets too. Dauphin Island looks beautiful & very relaxing.
How great to see you in my neck of the woods! I'm in Northern Arizona right now, but I'm originally from South Alabama. We have the most beautiful beaches and yummy food.
My mother developed a seafood allergy late in life due to an Iodine dye test she had to have run. After that she had to be very careful to not have iodine in any form including table salt. It's funny how foods or other things can go from safe to eat or use to causing problems when you get older. Looks like a really nice place to vacation.
Next time you go, please drive into Fairhope. It’s just a lovely little town just off the bay. They have adorable shops & for dinner you must visit Gambino’s! They have amazing Italian food!!
Sounds like a great place to just get away for a relaxing time indeed. Nothing better than just taking the time to enjoy the nature around on vacation. Thank you for doing review of all the nice eateries. 🏖
Hey Anna!! What a fun and beautiful place to take a vacation! I know Alabama has some very nice beaches. The food looked yummy too ❤. Foxys looked so good! The Ugly Diner 🤣. Food sounded amazing
This was my first time visiting Alabama and it was really nice! I really do wish I had gotten some footage of my breakfast at The Ugly Diner, it was AMAZING.
From north Alabama here! We went to Dauphin Island for our 7th grade class trip. Loved seeing this area highlighted! So sad you can’t have shellfish anymore, but glad you found some yummy food! Love your channel. 😁 and Duke’s… yessss.
Just saw this video! We currently live in Pensacola, FL- so very close to Dauphin Island! (I’m originally from Pittsburgh and my husband is from the DC area.) We are moving back north, though!
We lived in Southern Alabama for 3 years. Have been to Dauphin Island. First time we went was with no reservations. Didn't realize there is only 1 motel! Fortunately they had 2 rooms left. Also did the ferry. Such a great trip. Did you go to the Aquarium? That was amazing.
Sounds like a nice vacation! I also love going to grocery stores when visiting. If it's in a different region, I'll often pick up a seasoning ingrecient or condiment that's specific to that area.
We were planning on going to Alabama for vacation but saving that for hopefully next time . Looks like a fun vacation thanks for sharing your delicious time
I also developed a shellfish allergy much later in life. There is hope though, after almost 10 years I'm supposed to be able to eat it again after further allergy testing. I've only tried shrimp again so far, and ONE fried clam over this past summer.
Looks like plenty of good food! I'm originally from Savannah so we usually go down there to the beach while visiting family. But I love the Alabama coast. It is only a 5 hour drive from here so we can make a 3 day weekend out of it. Moon Pies are everywhere down here. 😆They are made here in Chattanooga. We have a Moon Pie store downtown that is pretty neat. I'm glad you had a fun trip!
What a perfect weekend trip! I love Moon Pies, especially after they've been microwaved for a few seconds. 😋 The Moon Pie store is definitely on my 'to visit' list now!
Thank-you for sharing, I really enjoy seeing other places, it's so Neat ! : ) I also like seeing the Food / different items & get ideas from it too ~ Happy 4 you, you went on Vacation, always good to have a break, : ) HAGWk
First of all, I found your channel very recently and I love your content and you! Secondly, I live in Fairhope and the next time you go to Dauphin Island, make sure you take a day trip to Fairhope, you won't be disappointed. Third,my son is the Meat Dept manager over 12 Greers stores, including the Bayou LaBatre store! Thanks for the mention! Bayou LaBatre has a huge Vietnamese community with great little food places. Next time that would be an adventure. Hope you come back to Alabama soon!
i love getting donuts and coffee, i hate when they don't even sell coffee or the coffee is terrible, what is with that? crazy! Those donuts looked good, I also liked the waffle bar, so cute!
Thank you for sharing! We LOVE local diners and such. Mom and pops places can be the best! (another reason I thoroughly enjoy "Diners Drive-Ins and Dives" LOL)

Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed this. It's a little outside the norm for me, so your kind comment means a lot.
Greetings from Mobile! Dauphin Island is a wonderful family vacation spot without all the condos and tourist traps.
Hello!! This was a really fun vacation, and also my very first visit to Alabama! I will be back for sure. 😀
If you make it back, Deborah and I will take you to lunch at Felix’s. Come back to visit!
The best places we had down there was Miguel’s beach and Baja. Tacos were amazing. Foxys is always a hit and for a sit down restaurant, pirates was pretty good as well
All great places! Thanks for watching! ❤

It was such a nice week! I totally agree, the food is part of the whole experience of a vacation. Thanks for watching!

Papa Rocco's is the place to check in Gulf Shores. Best pizza around!
White Lily flour is worth hauling back; really makes excellent biscuits and pie crust
Thanks for sharing! I also enjoy going to new supermarkets/food stores. The spreadsheet, I love that idea.

It is very strange for sure! I'd been eating and cooking with shellfish for years, and then suddenly it just popped up.
Next time you go, please drive into Fairhope. It’s just a lovely little town just off the bay. They have adorable shops & for dinner you must visit Gambino’s! They have amazing Italian food!!
Noted! I shared this info with my family, too. Sounds like we'd enjoy it!

@@cooking_the_books I'm so happy you had a nice time
Glad you had a great time on your vacation and found some good food to eat while there.
It was so nice and very relaxing!
Next time you are in Gulf Shores go to Sea and Suds!
I’ll put it on the list!
I loved REEL Deal, great Shrimp & the best Service! Enjoy!

Driven by Dauphin Island exit tons of times but never visited. Ty for the info. Might try it soon .
Yikes, sorry to hear about your allergy! Glad you could find safe meals.
Beautiful! I'm glad you all had a fun & delicious time😋🏖🏝 My son likes Duke's. I grew up on Hellman's
We usually have both at our house! I grew up with Hellmann’s too. 😁
@@cooking_the_books Cool!

The donuts were so delicious! And now I want donuts! 😋
Loved it!❤
It was a great trip!
One of my "hobbies" is visiting grocery stores I've never been to before
YES. I love doing this too! No matter where we go, if I see a new grocery store, we gotta stop!
Same. I love the grocery stores in England.
Did you visit Buc'ees? You drove past it on I10 towards Pensacola.
Sure did! 😁
@@cooking_the_books i LOVE Buc'ees. Hope the one here is Mississippi doesn't take forever to get built. Only shirts I wear now are Buc'ees. Lol
🙂

Glad you enjoyed! This place didn’t have a chain restaurant for miles. I also like catching episodes of DDD when I can.
