Perfect your grilling techniques with these 4 BBQ tips.
ProblemSolved, USA TODAY
A Jackson, Mississippi, icon has been named the best burger in Mississippi.
Foodie offers tips for “living a delicious life” from where you go out to eat to what you cook at home. It’s ranked the best hamburger restaurant in every state.
“Of course, the bigger burger chain names have become famous worldwide, but U.S. soil is also home to a dazzling variety of burger businesses, from those selling everything from high-end gastroburgers and gluten- or meat-free versions, to hole-in-the-wall places that have been slinging sliders for generations,” Scheenagh Harrington wrote for Foodie.
The site’s pick for the best in the Magnolia State is not surprising.
“Many businesses claim their product is the best in town, but Jackson-based Stamps Super Burgers really does deliver,” Harrington wrote.
They warned to plan your trip. Afternoons can get very busy.
Why do people love Stamps burgers?
Stamps Super Burgers, 1801 Dalton St., Jackson, was founded in 1986. Since then, three generations of the Stamps family have served juicy burgers and fresh-cut fries to the community.
Today, it’s co-owned by Phil Stamps Jr. In a previous interview with the Clarion Ledger, he said it “originally started with my grandmother and grandfather in 1970 when they purchased it from Canterbury Grocery, and the entire family operated that business as a grocery and meat market for a while before transitioning over to burgers in 1986.”
The kitchen is open, in the center of the restaurant. You can watch employees cut potatoes for fries or man the grill.
A signature Stamps hamburger comes with an 11-ounce beef patty and mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, lettuce, tomato, pickle and onions. The menu also has wings and different burger options, like turkey or portobello.
The Washington Addition restaurant regularly tops “best of” rankings for the state. In 2024, it was on the USA TODAY Restaurants of the Year list.

Meridian artist named Mississippi fellow by South Arts
Published 3:31 pm Friday, July 17, 2026
South Arts recently announced its 2026 State Fellows in its annual Southern Prize and State Fellowships for Visual Arts program and Meridian artist Brejenn Allen was named as the organization’s Mississippi fellow.
Established in 2017, the Southern Prize and State Fellowships for Visual Arts initiative supports regional artists in advancing their creative practices across a range of visual art disciplines. Each year, the program awards nine visual artists $5,000 state fellowships, with fellows also competing for the Southern Prize, which includes a prestigious residency and an additional $25,000 cash award for the winner and $10,000 for the finalist.
Building on South Arts’ commitment to funding practices that create greater cultural equity and support diversity in the Southern region, this program annually awards a total of $80,000 to nine visual artists, one from each state in the South Arts’ region: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.
“Every year, this cohort reminds us how much range exists within our region,” South Arts President and CEO Doug Shipman said. “These nine artists are working in glass, textile, video, printmaking and found materials, each showcasing a different way to hold onto memory, place and history through their practice. The Southern Prize gives their work a wider stage and we’re honored to help showcase these visionaries.”
Alongside their cash prizes, the state fellows will be featured in a traveling group exhibition, which will be on display from Aug. 11 to Oct. 23 at Western Carolina Fine Art Museum in Cullowhee, N.C., before touring to additional locations across the region.
From this cohort a national jury will select the Southern Prize winner and finalist in recognition of their artistic excellence. The Southern Prize winner will also receive a residency at the Hambidge Center. Both awardees will be honored during an awards ceremony on Oct. 8 at the Western Carolina Fine Art Museum in Cullowhee, N.C.
