Making the Grade | On the Road to Latin Table

OPINION — When you were in school, were you a leader or a follower? Unfortunately, in the sixth grade, I was a follower. Back then, every sixth grader at William L. Radney Elementary School in Alexander City took a music aptitude test in the lunchroom. We listened to various musical tones, and on the test, we marked whether a tone was higher or lower than the previous one.

I Spent A Year Eating My Way Through Alabama—Here Are 13 Spots I Can't Wait to Revisit

In 2023, I dined at a minimum of 86 restaurants in the Yellowhammer State. If I were to sit down and do even more math (and take a trip through my iPhone photos), I am sure that number is likely double. The reason? I was knee-deep in research for my debut book, Unique Eats and Eateries of Alabama. To ensure that I could heartily speak to each restaurant, I trekked to every corner of the state, eating a meal at every single place I wrote about within its pages—all 86 of them. In the nearly three years since, there are still ambiances, experiences, and meals I long to revisit, so below I’m spilling my top spots that I cannot wait to return to in the future.
