LAUREL —
Laurel residents will soon have a new dining option.
Harry Bush of B & B Developers LLC said Wednesday that Heads or Tails, a new restaurant located at 3115 Audubon Drive in North Laurel, will host its grand opening “around Sept. 1.”
“We (Harry and James Wray Bush) are happy to announce the opening of a new restaurant in North Laurel,” he said. “The operators are currently remodeling the building with new furniture and equipment. Their specialty will be steaks and seafood, but they will also serve other dishes new to our area.”
Bush said the operators, who he said didn’t wish to be named yet, previously operated a Heads or Tails restaurant in Lexington, Miss.
“They wanted to keep the name,” he said. “The restaurant will be located on Audubon Drive across from the North Laurel Shopping Center and next door to Trustmark Bank.”
Bush said the restaurant will be located in the former Parker House Restaurant building and will seat around 100 patrons.
“We’ve had about four tenants there, and three of them ran it as a restaurant,” he said. “John Parker was the main chef there, and then ran the restaurant for about 11 years.”
Parker now works as a chef for Sodexho, which runs the cafeteria at Jones County Junior College.
Bush said he is excited about the opening of the restaurant.
“Laurel needs a good restaurant that will pamper you while you’re being served,” he said. “It’s taken us about four months to get everything worked out. We’re real happy with it.”

Slowly but Surely
How was your Super Bowl Weekend? Mallorie and I had a full schedule as we attended the “Krewe of Docs” hosted by Oncologics to benefit the American Cancer Society Saturday night. The event was held here in Downtown Laurel and everyone did a great job. The Cowboy Blues Band played the night away and fun was had by all. We got geared up again Sunday night for Super Bowl festivities. After our Saints fell short against the 49ers, I was less than excited about this year’s big game. I picked a favorite anyway and my allegiance fell on the shoulders of Eli and the Giants. It was a great game to watch as a football fan and as always the commercials were pretty great too.

What a great weekend! The weather was just right for getting outside and practicing your favorite hobby or just “piddlin” around. I even went over to Gardner Park and threw the pigskin with my buddies, Ben and Jasper. Mallorie’s folks made it over to Laurel Saturday afternoon and we fired up the grill. We dined on steaks, chops, red fish and all the fixin’s – thank you Mike!
