H.D. Gibbes & Sons, Named One of The Most Legendary Steakhouses in the South
SUMMARY: H.D. Gibbes & Sons in Learned, Mississippi, was named one of the most legendary steakhouses in the South by *Southern Living* magazine. Originally a general store, it has been operated by the Gibbes family for generations. In 2009, they began offering steaks, lamb chops, and seafood, attracting guests from afar with live music and homemade dishes. The store’s charm includes a unique dining experience, including community seating, paper plates, and an honor system for drinks. The restaurant accepts only checks and cash, and its legendary pies are still made by Chipper’s mother, Mary Bell Gibbes.

Mississippi is Wearin’ the Green
SUMMARY: St. Patrick’s Day, celebrated on March 17, honors the missionary who introduced Christianity to Ireland. This festive day, where everything turns green, was brought to America by Irish immigrants. Boston held the first official observance in 1737, while St. Augustine claimed the earliest celebration in 1600. In Mississippi, St. Patrick’s festivities kick off in Biloxi with a parade and family-friendly festival on March 15, 2025, followed by Jackson’s Hal’s St. Paddy’s Parade on March 22. Celebrations span the state, inviting everyone to wear green and partake in the fun, avoiding leprechaun pinches along the way.
