The Secret Birmingham, Alabama Grocery Store Where $60 Goes Further Than Locals Let On

Real butchers cut the meat here by hand every single day, with no additives to stretch shelf life. That alone made me sit up. In a world of plastic-wrapped mystery trays, that feels almost old-fashioned. The same family has run this business since 1925. The third and fourth generations are...

How Birmingham, Alabama’s Bayonet delivers unexpected delights

At Bayonet, even its name and how the restaurant got its start were a bit of a surprise, Rob McDaniel, the chef and co-owner, recalled. McDaniel originally conceived of the Birmingham, Alabama, restaurant as a small spot to serve as a waiting area for his restaurant Helen, his southern grill, next door. But because of some location restrictions, the only way to use the space he had in mind was to take over a much larger attached space.

The Most Legendary Desserts In The South, From Classics To Cult Favorites

In the South, we don’t play around when it comes to dessert. Our layer cakes are the tallest, our pies are the flakiest, and our portions are the largest. That’s why so many iconic sweets were either born here, or made famous in our region, like this list of famous desserts from Southern restaurants. All of these places are notable—many have won national and local awards—but their desserts are what draw people from around the country, and even the world. Customers know they’ll be ordering these dishes, whether it’s Key lime pie in Key West or the best peach cobbler in Atlanta, before they even walk through the door. And believe us, these legends truly live up to the hype.

Cullman gathers by candlelight for ‘An Evening with Poe’

CULLMAN, Ala. – The night came on, as November nights do, cold and early and quiet. Inside Jubilee Kitchen + Bar, the candles were already lit. Tall tapers flickered against dark walls. Deep crimson cloth pooled across the tables like spilled wine, and a single red rose waited beside each small glass vase. At the bar, beneath a chandelier glowing like a cluster of pale moons, cocktails with names borrowed from the grave were shaken and poured. And then, as the hour of six drew near, the room fell still, and the voice of Edgar Allan Poe returned to the living. Jubilee and the Cullman County Public Library joined forces Monday, Nov. 2, for “An Evening with Poe,” a night of cocktails and dramatic readings celebrating the 19th-century master of mystery and the macabre. Guests gathered for a cocktail hour at 5 p.m. before readings began at 6. Even the drinks were steeped in dread. Jubilee’s “An Evening with Poe” specials menu, marked with a perched raven, offered five cocktails inspired by the author’s darkest works: The Black Cat: vodka, chocolate liqueur, cherry and heavy cream The Raven: blanco tequila, Cointreau, blackberry and lime The Pale Blue Eye: gin, elderflower
