When people talk about Savannah the main topic is usually the history, architecture, and all the other stuff that goes along with southern gothic. All of this is valid, Savannah is a beautiful city richly steeped in history good and bad. There are many fine factlets about the city that people keep alive by shoving down your throat at every opportunity but there is something in the background that Savannah possesses that people do not, in my opinion, stress enough.
Food.
I'm not talking about The Lady and Sons, I'm not talking about Uncle Bubba's (Paula Deens brother or somesuch nonsense.) I'm talking about food for the working class. Dives. Shitholes. Places one would go to unwind, eat a meal, and end up writing home about it (or at least think about writing home.) Savannah is rich in these places. I'm not trying to say all of Savannah is a shithole, just the good places.
Want a recommendation or two?
Islands Grill (not on an island, in Port Wentworth.) Try the Blackened grouper salad. Sounds bad, tastes great.
Cafe Loco. Neither a cafe nor very loco, near Tybee Island. Try the wings. Get the original if you like spicy, Carribbean Jerk if you prefer a non-hot experience.
Now what are your Savannah food recommendations?
This blog has nothing to do with slogans. What would the three word slogan be for that? No Slogan Blog.

For the best damn burgers since Jesus was a boy hit Spanky's on Tybee Island. Pretty good sauce for their chicken fingers too.
Can't post about good food without a shout out to our boy Yan (pronounced like Ian) at the Pizza on Wheels. Their pizza's rock! We know because we use to live above them and when we didn't order it, we drooled from the odors rising to our apartment.
Avoid the Outback Steakhouse in Savannah (Bay Street location). Our experience was that the food wasn't great, the lights were too dim and it smelled like pee.
POW sucks. Try something else.
