From shawarmas to sweets, here’s where to eat in Savannah

Whether you’re looking for the best bowl of she-crab soup, a plate of spicy jerk chicken and plantains, or a fine dining establishment housed in a building from 1771 with rumored resident ghosts, you will find it in the new book “Unique Eats and Eateries of Savannah: The People and Stories Behind the Food” by Rebekah Faulk Lingenfelser.

The book showcases 84 restaurants that include The Burger Boat, a floating hamburger stand; Love’s Seafood and Steaks, a waterfront restaurant open since 1949 where scenes from “Forrest Gump” were filmed; and Spanky’s Pizza Gallery & Saloon, home of the original chicken finger.
