A couple of years ago I wrote about an amazing place for hot chicken in Nashville called Hattie B’s. Over the years there have been many write-ups and television appearances for Hattie B’s, plus hot chicken in general has started to gain national attention. Because of America’s new love of hot chicken, Hattie B’s has started opening more locations, not just in Tennessee but across state lines too. Their newest location can be found in the Lakeview District of Birmingham, Alabama. It had been a while since I had hot chicken, so I figured that a visit to the new…

Leave a CommentThe Lakeview District of Birmingham has been growing over the last several years. There is a plethora of restaurant choices and each one is diverse and special.

The front and side of the restaurant is covered…

The kind of breakfast that fills me up for almost the whole day. The Homewood Diner popped into my mind. Since I got there early for a Saturday I was able to get a booth without any problems. My waitress was extremely friendly and brought me…
Leave a CommentHell’s Kitchen has become famous for their food thanks to a few cooking shows on television. I figured when I was in New York I should head on over and have a great Italian meal at Il Forno. I did not have a reservation so I as worried about getting a table. There were several large parties but the hostess was able to find me a table. The inside was decorated to look like an Italian village. The walls looked like buildings that had windows complete with flower baskets on the window seals. It smelt great inside because of their…
Leave a CommentLocated in the neighborhood of Chelsea sits a cute restaurant called Tipsy Parson. It is a cozy place that is darkly lite on the inside to help create an intimate mood. The décor also makes you feel like you are dining in someone’s home with wall paper that looks like bookcases. Naturally, I had to start off with a cocktail. I went for a drink named the Tipsy Palmer. It was sweet tea, mint, lemon, and vodka (there was also an option to use bourbon). It was not sweet at all and certainly not overpowering. It was a great…
