hat do Donald Trump, Ringo Starr, The Monkees, Rush Limbaugh, and Mikhail Gorbachev have in common? They’ve all been in a Pizza Hut commercial! Pizza Hut was founded in 1958 in Wichita, KS, by brothers Dan and Frank Carney with a $600 loan from their mother. On opening night, they gave pizza away to encourage interest in the restaurant. They chose the name “Pizza Hut” since the sign they purchased only had enough space for nine characters and spaces. How do you take your pie? The Ultimate Cheese Lover’s Pizza is covered in creamy Alfredo sauce and topped with delicious cheeses. Pepperoni Lover’s Pizza is layered with extra pepperoni plus extra cheese for a pepperoni in every bite. Need more meat? Give the Meat Lover’s Pizza loaded with pepperoni, ham, beef, bacon, and sausage a try! Have you eaten your veggies today? The Veggie Lover’s Pizza comes packed with five veggies, including fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, red onions, green peppers, and black olives. How about the best of both worlds? The Supreme Pizza is a signature blend of pepperoni, pork sausage, beef, mushrooms, red onions, and green peppers. Feeling like pasta? Pizza Hut has you covered. With the Tuscani Meaty Marinara bursting with flavorful, savory Italian-seasoned meat sauce and rotini pasta topped with cheese and oven-baked, it’s like a little bit of Italy on your plate! If Alfredo is more your style, give the Tuscani Creamy Chicken Alfredo a try. How about a side of wings with your pizza? Choose from the Buffalo Burnin’ Hot, extreme heat for the most daring wing eater, to Medium and Mild, both packed with flavor. If you fancy exotic wings, give the Spicy Asian, Spicy BBQ, Garlic Parmesan, or Lemon Pepper flavors a try. Don’t forget to leave room for dessert. With choices like Cinnamon Sticks and Hershey’s Chocolate Dunkers—freshly baked with a touch of white chocolate and served with a rich chocolate dipping sauce—you might want to eat your dessert first! Did you know that Pizza Hut truly is out of this world? Pizza Hut sponsored the first space pizza delivery in 2001 to the International Space Station. Pizza Hut is also very involved in the communities they serve. Pizza Hut has been a sponsor of the BOOK IT! national reading incentive program since it started in 1985. So no matter your craving, be it pizza, pasta, wings, or just a special treat, you can find that and more at Pizza Hut.

Jackson is not always the most vegetarian-friendly town in terms of varied meat-free menu options, but High Noon Café offers a range of healthy, delicious, budgetfriendly fare for vegetarians and vegans as well as those with certain food allergies. Those who are unused to having many options when dining out might even feel a bit overwhelmed by their choices of sandwiches and other healthy but hearty fare. If you can swing it, top off your meal with a slice of the outstanding vegan carrot cake. You would never know that it didn’t contain butter and eggs. —Kelly Bryan Smith
