Sal and Mookie's

Most Jacksonians already know the virtues of Sal and Mookie's, and of its owner Jeff Good.  What you may not have heard about is the restaurant's new pizza that's also a fundraiser.  The pizza, the Franklin Street, is named after its creator Brad "Kamikaze" Franklin.  Kaz does not eat pork, so he regularly asked Sal and Mookie's cooks to top his pizzas with ground turkey instead of sausage.  Jeff decided to create a pizza to add to the menu in his honor that includes the turkey, as well as tomatoes, spinach artichoke dip, onions, cheddar and mozzarella cheese, and creole seasoning.  Garrad and I tried it out on Friday night, and loved it.

To kick off the menu addition, Sal and Mookies is donating $2 from the sale of each Franklin St. to the Downtown and Farish St. YMCAs (which will continue through the month of November).  These kinds of collaborations are what Jackson is all about. More details here.
