Darwell’s Cafe in Long Beach, Mississippi has been serving the Gulf Coast since the 1990s, built around fresh local seafood and the Southern cooking traditions that define coastal Mississippi food culture. It appeared in Season 4, Episode 9 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Big Flavor,” which aired September 29, 2008, and Guy Fieri found a kitchen putting serious effort into Gulf seafood and scratch-made Southern sides in a town most Triple D viewers had never heard of. Long Beach is a small Gulf Coast city between Gulfport and Bay Saint Louis, and Darwell’s has been its dining anchor for decades.
