Obviously, Savannah has some great dining spots that get discussed here regularly.

What are some spots that maybe had potential or thrived at one point, but have gone way downhill due to changes in ownership/menu/chef, are outdated, or otherwise need a refresh?

I noticed this new pizza flavor today, so I thought I would give it a shot.

The employee, who recognized me as a regular, warned me against it, saying it was no good. That made me more intrigued. How bad could it be?

Anyway, it was fine. As is typical, it was pretty unevenly heated. The sausage, by itself, was oddly sweet and not the most pleasant. Mixed with the hot honey, you couldn't really notice. It had diced jalapenos (I think?) on it, which really kicked up the spice. I didn't really notice it until I had eaten half of it, but it was surprisingly spicy. It lingered for quite a while.

6/10. It's worth a try if you're curious. I don't know how employees are instructed to cook them, but mine could have used an extra minute.

Long story short... ordered custom regalia the last week of March. Just to be sure it would make it in time, I ordered 4-weel expedited manufacturing and overnight shipping. Based on the time frame, it should have arrived at my house between May 1-3.

I called every day starting May 1. About a week later, I tried to cancel since they couldn't give me any assurance that it would ship soon. They said I couldn't cancel because it's a custom order.

I planned to travel to Dallas starting Monday. I pushed it a day and left today (on my way now... driving from the east coast). So I'll miss the hooding ceremony Thursday.

So I have no regalia and haven't been able to reach anyone at the bookstore via phone. Emails aren't being answered. I'm hoping that they'll have something close to my size that I can borrow. Otherwise, I won't even be able to walk Saturday.

What a shit show. I can't be the only one.

I'm playing a baccalaureate service next week. Given the chapel's size, I was expecting an organ capable of handling the Vierne Carillon de Westminster and the Finale of Widor 2. But I looked up the stop list this morning, and it was a bit smaller than I expected.

Do you think this organ can do justice to this rep, or should I pivot and pick something else?
