The Alabama What?

I am a former professional restaurant evaluator who has a soft spot for local restaurants who strive to “get it right”! Restaurant ownership is not for the feint hearted! I want to support the best local restaurants and make sure everyone knows about them! I live in Birmingham but I consider all of Alabama local!

I chose the name because I consider myself more than a “foodie”. I do love eating and enjoying good food but, to me, It is about the history, evolution and the total experience of eating, preparing, and learning about food in Alabama (and wherever your or I may roam)!

To read more of my story and how my unbiased & uncompensated reviews are conducted, check out my “about” section! Thanks for stopping by!

History, Culture, Family, Friendship, and Common Ground.

These are the gifts of eating together.
