If it’s a memorable dining experience you’re after, you’ll definitely want to pay a visit to Mammy’s Cupboard in Natchez. The restaurant is housed in a building that’s shaped like a giant mammy archetype, and if dining underneath the skirt of a nearly 30’ tall woman doesn’t qualify as an unforgettable experience, I don’t know what does. Without a doubt one of the most unique restaurants in the state, if not the entire country, Mammy’s Cupboard is a hidden gem that should definitely be on your bucket list. Take a look:
