I was visiting Tuscaloosa recently and I asked some local residents where they recommended I get a quick bite to eat. Anthony’s Italian Kitchen came to the top of the list because of their pizza. They are located not far from the University campus on McFarland Blvd. It is a cute family owned restaurant that you can either eat in or get food to go. I could smell the pizza as soon as I walked in. I got there in between the lunch and dinner rush, so I had no problem getting a table. The first thing I noticed when…

Leave a CommentI love all kinds of food, but Chinese food is one of my favorites. I was excited to learn that there was an authentic Chinese restaurant called Red Pearl in Homewood, Alabama. What surprised me even more is that there is a full size Asian market attached to the restaurant. They had everything from candy and sauces to frozen dumplings that can be made at home. The restaurant was beautiful inside. It had recently been remodeled. There are wonderful ornate wooden walls that separate different sections and an ornately painted focal wall. I started off with the pork noodle…
Leave a CommentBright and early on a cold morning is the perfect time to get a big, hearty breakfast. Diners are naturally the perfect place for these types of breakfasts. The Homewood Diner can be a little hard to find the first time but it is a wonderful place and well worth looking for. The diner was crowded when I got there. I was able to get one of the last booths. They have many options and combinations to choose from. I wanted something with pancakes because I had not had them for a while. I went for one of their…
Leave a CommentOnce again I found myself craving sushi. I started thinking about it at work and decided that was going to be my dinner. It was just going to be me so I was excited that I could make the choice of where to go. I decided to try a little family owned local place called O Sushi. It is a cute place at the corner of a shopping center. I was greeted by the wonderfully friendly staff as soon as I walked in. They have a beautiful bamboo wall that separates the entrance from the main dining area. Rather than…

Leave a CommentOne of my great friends told me about a deli that was a must try. Heading up the mountain to Bluff Park between Birmingham and Hoover, Alabama is where I came across the little place called Mr. P’s Deli. It is a deli, butcher shop, and market all in one. You can get an array of sandwiches to either eat there or take home. Want to cook some fresh steaks or pork chops at home? Mr. P’s has you covered. Need a bottle of wine to go with that steak? They have a nice selection of wine to choose from.…

Leave a CommentI have written about several awesome restaurants throughout Birmingham. Just when I thought I had visited all the hot spots, I was told about an Italian restaurant that was a must try. Gianmarco’s is a small restaurant located in the Homewood area. The parking lot is tiny so be prepared to possibly have to park on the street. As soon as I walked in I could smell pizza and garlic. It made me even hungrier than I already was. The entrance takes you through their car area. It’s a small space but if you are looking for a quick bite…
