Volume 4 April 2016 Newsletter
Hello...Hello! Welcome Back!
We decided to gravitate towards food for this edition because with the warmer month's upon us, typically people tend to eat out more often during the summer and spring months. Our intention is to showcase several local community based eateries, diners and restaurants that have been submitted by our local readers and researched by our team members because we believe in supporting local businesses'. We have also included some of our favorite online eateries from various social media sites that we follow that you to may find to be interesting.
The foundation of our monthly newsletters is beauty; hence the name: “Mobile Beauty News” and beauty can be found in all forms, including food. In addition, we have also listed a few good drink recipes that you can make yourself to enjoy.
If you happen to patronize one of the eateries that has been featured in our newsletter, let us know how your experience was.
.....Now let's eat, drink, be merry and beautiful!

Mama Dips Soul Food
In 1976, Mildred Cotton Council opened Mama Dip’s restaurant, named for the childhood nickname given to her by her siblings (her height and long arms allowed her to “dip” all the way into the bottom of the rain barrel).
Born in Chatham County to Ed and Effie Edwards Cotton, Mama Dip first learned to cook by watching her family and neighbors use the “dump cooking” method of cooking by taste. While working as a family cook, and later at Carolina Coffee Shop and St. Andrews Hall, Mama Dip honed her craft, developing the recipes her restaurant would become so famous for. In 1957, she worked alongside her mother-in-law at a tiny take-out kitchen, where they made a reputation for turning out some of the best country cooking in town.
