The Garage – Birmingham, AL
In the Pittsburgh of the South, once again, we were shopping when the question of what’s for lunch came up. I consulted “the list” and checked distances from the Goodwill outlet – the Garage it would be. Pulling onto 24th Avenue, we began to notice cars parked on both sides of the narrow road. Then […]
Red Pearl – Birmingham, AL
Finishing up our trip home from the happiest place on earth, we were going to hit Birmingham in time for a late lunch. As close as home-base is to B’ham, I keep a pretty broad list of what’s happening food-wise there. By that I mean and I get several newsletters specific to food in Central […]
Mud Creek Bar-B-Que – Hollywood, AL (Photo Blog Post)
As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I can’t remember all the details of the meal, I’m now posting this restaurant as a photo blog. I can say that Hollywood, AL, is a town with a population and this restaurant, opened in 1946, was part of a Saturday journey down the […]
50 Taters – Scottsboro, AL
A barbecue place that advertises on the “North Alabama barbecue trail” but calls itself comfort food, on their signage, does not portend well. Nonetheless, our second stop, after Dale’s BBQ, was to give 50 Taters a try. With two strikes against it (giant parking lot filled with vehicles that were not trucks / building not […]
Dale’s BBQ – Boaz, AL
On a ridiculously hot Saturday, I decided we needed to explore a section of the “North Alabama Barbecue Trail”. Being slightly OCD, I do enjoy a good list – one that I can check things off of, as I complete them. I was guided to the existence of this list by a podcast episode of […]
Chez Fonfon – Birmingham, AL
Pretty much ever since I’ve had a food list, Chez Fonfon has been on it (I added it from Southern Living’s list of the best restaurants in the South from August, 2014). And this French restaurant, from Frank Stitt of Highlands Bar & Grill fame, open since 2000, was on the list for, oddly, what […]

Butcher Paper BBQ – Opelika, AL (Quick Bite)
Camping with our kids over at Providence Canyon, we were discussing lunch options and thought we’d head over to Opelika, to Bow & Arrow for lunch. One of us loves the barbecue and the other loves Memaw’s Eclairs. But when we got to Bow & Arrow, they were closed. I had checked the hours […]
Bow & Arrow – Auburn, AL
Today’s adventure involved a road trip to Auburn, Alabama, for barbecue with a group of friends. We have these folks that we camp with – three couples in metro Atlanta, one in south Alabama and one in South Carolina. Eight of us (it was a little far for the South Carolinians, so they weren’t part […]
