One Night Only: Children’s Table at Time Inc. Food Studios
What to Eat in Birmingham

Several months ago, the folks at Children’s of Alabama asked me to become involved with a new event. The event, called Children’s Table, brings together some of Alabama’s best chefs who will be cooking for a cause. While our community has no shortage of philanthropic events, this one stood out because it merges the strengths of our culinary and publishing communities. As someone who has written about Birmingham restaurants and been part of our media community for a long time, my answer was a resounding ‘yes.” Children’s Table at Time Inc. Food Studios March 3 at the Ti ..read more

When it comes to Indian food in Birmingham, we have long been fans of Silver Coin Restaurant. (There are some other good options too, but this one has always risen to the top of our list.) So we were delighted to learn that the Hoover restaurant was opening a concept in Pizitz Food Hall. Called Silver Kati, it brings some of the same flavors we love from Silver Coin, albeit in a food stall-sized version. We tried it out today on their first day of business. Nestled between Ghion Cultural Hall and Revelator, Silver Kati is the fourth restaurant by Kishore Kotian. The first two Silver Coin  ..read more

La Sabrosita

Recently, we’ve heard from a number of readers about a place that needs to be on our radar screen. (We get notes like that a lot from our readers, and appreciate when folks send in their tips, suggestions, and leads). The restaurant we were being pointed toward: La Sabrosita. We’re ashamed to say that despite part of the What To Eat Team living in Hoover, we weren’t aware of this Mexican-style ice cream and popsicle shop. Clearly we had to remedy that. What better way to check out ice cream than during a freezing winter day? So, on the last day of holiday break, and while the rest of ..read more

Once upon a time, two girls met at a high school in a West Central province of Thailand called Nakhon Sawan. Fast forward to the early 2000s, and the two young women each found themselves in West Central Alabama. One came for business school at the University of Alabama; the other for a masters in Comparative Law at Samford. Reconnected, their friendship turned into a business venture, and in 2007 the pair purchased Chai Market, the oldest Asian market in Birmingham. Fast forward a decade later and and Kay Sathianphatthanakul Golf Suchodayon have opened their newest venture: Yum Yai Takeo ..read more

Hero Doughnuts Opens Brick and Mortar

Exactly one year today I (Editor E) was on a plane back from Portland, where I had spent a long weekend doing many things, including sampling PDX’s finest doughnuts. They’re really into doughnuts in Stumptown, and coffee too (see name), and during the trip I took a fascinating Third Wave Coffee Tour, which featured pairings of sweet circular treats and the city’s famous coffee. Sitting down at the newly opened Hero Doughnuts in Homewood, I was struck by the similarities in the offerings here to what I experienced last year. And, judging by the looks of the lines out the door, Birmingham  ..read more

Rolled Ice Cream Comes To Birmingham

When it comes to ice cream concepts, we’re always game for testing. Most recently, this took us to Pelham, where the new Cream and Cones Ice Cream Lounge offers rolled ice cream. It’s the first brick and mortar rolled ice cream in the Birmingham Metro area. (There is a pop up with a similar concept, but we haven’t tried that yet.) So on a recent Wednesday afternoon we (Editor E and Foodie Jr.) drove down Highway 31 to the new shop. Located in a strip mall with a personal trainer (look away, personal trainer) and a cake shop/Italian takeaway (note for next visit) Cream and Cones opened its ..read more

Rougaroux Brings Po Boys To Forest Park

Yesterday we had the chance to duck into the soft opening of Rougaroux in Forest Park. Located in the “pink house,” once home to the Pink House Cafe, we were eager to check it out. Rougaroux comes to us via a collaboration between owner Anne Carter and Hotbox. Walking in you get a distinct feeling of New Orleans, almost like you’re walking into a place in the Bywater. Points for that. Rougaroux Bar When we visited they’d only been open 24 hours, and they were still in a soft opening period. That said, it was a strong dining experience — so much so we wanted to share it now. Orders are t ..read more

When Ollie Irene closed a year ago, we, along with a lot of other people in Birmingham, were bummed out. The Mountain Brook gastropub had become a local favorite, as well as receiving critical acclaim (including a James Beard Foundation nomination for Best New Restaurant in 2011.) The closure, a result of the Lane Parke Development, was just part of the restaurant’s story. Owners Chris and Anna Newsome have said for some time that they would be opening a new Ollie Irene. Exactly a year to the date of the closing — September 30 — we had the pleasure of eating at the new before the pub ..read more

Two Ethiopian Restaurants in Birmingham! Meet Red Sea Ethiopian and Mediterranean

If you would have told us at the start of 2017 that Birmingham would have not one, but two Ethiopian restaurants, we might not have believed it. But here we are, and we’re delighted to report that the second Ethiopian restaurant to open in the Magic City is another must-visit. Red Sea Ethiopian and Mediterranean opened September 1. Nestled next to the new Halal Supermarket on Greensprings (which opened the same day), it’s a welcome new addition to our food landscape. (Ghion Cultural Hall, which opened in the Pizitz Food Hall in March, was the first Ethiopian to open in Birmingha ..read more

We know it’s been some time since our last post. But dear readers, we haven’t forgotten about you! As mentioned in our last post, this is a time of transition for the What To Eat team. Never fear: we didn’t stop eating. Phew. Since we last wrote, our founders moved to Pittsburgh. Our entire team continues to read your emails, messages, and notes. And our Birmingham crew is keeping dibs on what’s happening in the Magic City’s food community. Which has been a lot, so stay tuned for more in the coming weeks. First things first, let’s discuss Fero. When we met at Urban Standard to work on transi ..read more
