Kick off a conversation about bygone restaurants in Mobile and you’ll hear about some COVID casualties. But it’s likely to go far deeper than that.
A longer look back finds some legendary places with stories that grew with Mobile after (or even through) its World War II boom. Some are intertwined with the decline and slow rise of Downtown. There is, as one would expect, a heck of a lot of seafood on the menu. There’s also a conspicuous Greek influence.
