Alabama Food and Drink

When you think of top foodie destinations in the Southeast US, many of the popular cities are overcrowded, incredibly expensive, and a bit overhyped.

Did you know Birmingham is home to 7 different James Beard Foundation awards for chefs and restaurants? Here’s the lowdown on where we stayed, what we did, and what we ATE!
