BIRMINGHAM THREAD (Home of the 2022 World Games & a Better Place to Visit than Serbia)

Had aged group at Automatic tonight and it’s going to be difficult to not get priapism from thinking about it

 

I knew 1819 news was total Bullshit when I saw their billboard over on Hollywood

 

they know their readership. example 57489 of exactly why i’m in illinois and not alabama

 

they actually probably have a totally pathetic readership but, like yellowhammer or API, are bankrolled by some wealthy ideologues who don’t care about the numbers

 

I was not familiar with the group and went to the website last night. They have an article about his death which has a link at the bottom to all of their other articles about his alleged issues. Pretty shitty.

 

It’s a disgusting publication run by yellowhammer retread Jeff poor, one of the biggest losers I’ve ever had the displeasure of meeting

 

Ask an Alabama chef: If you could eat at only one restaurant, what would it be?

I have not. I liked the antique store that was previously in that spot years ago and if I’m remembering parking wasn’t easy then, could just be the lot?

 

Also

 

Who is driving a truckload of these to Atlanta for me?

 

Stone Cold Steve Austin can probably make some room

 

I have contacted Tubb’s office to redirect his efforts from the southern border over to the eastern border of Alabama to stop any illegal bootlegging of Alabama’s greatest natural resource.

 

Uhhhh. Plan on stopping by tomorrow on my way through town. Guess I’ll be too early.

 

Never been but I do recall that we discussed Vapor Ministries and their sketchiness in here a few months back.

 

Martin’s was right next to the synagogue I went to growing up. Had their fried chicken many a Sunday in my youth and wanted them to cater my Bar Mitzvah

 

Champy's really is legit. I wish they would open a location in my backyard. Now I'm craving fried chicken for dinner.

 

Can’t fucking stand Randall Woodfin’s social media posts

 

Why?

 

can we get some examples?

 

Did the GM 705 wine dinner last night as a birthday present and it was really good. 6 course meal with 6 different wines to taste. highly recommend.

 

Anyone do the holiday/Christmas Dinner at Galley and Garden?

 

Going in a few weeks and will let the thread know if it lives up to the hype

 

do yourself a favor and lower your expectations

 

Make sure you wear closed toe shoes. Don’t want a Helen repeat

 

My buddy boy (almost 2 years old) had the time of his life on the North Pole express last night at the Heart of Dixie railroad museum in Calera. If your kids are still in the Santa age bracket I highly recommend. Hell even if they aren’t, it’s fun for all ages, we had a blast.

We've done a staff dinner there that was mediocre at best, same with waitstaff.

 

I’ve heard mixed experiences with standard dining but was curious if their set menu holiday stuff was better. Going to put faith in Tegg’s feedback since my parents want to take everyone to that

 

went to Galley and Garden for dinner once a few years ago. it was fine but mostly forgettable and haven't been back since.

 

It’s a different chef post Covid. Boyce from Huntsville is out.

 

yep. One Two wasn't anything embarrassing, so go with Dr. Tegg, Esq.

 

We get the entire C&NW-A entertainment car every year for our extended fam. It’s pretty lit.

 

My 3 year old was pretending to read a magazine and yelled “Dad, look it’s Oteys”

Sure enough it’s an Oteys ad.

Not sure if she’s a genius or I’m a drunk.

 

That’s the car we rode in, definitely taking an expanded crew next year and getting a block of tickets.

 

I went to Galley and Garden pre covid as well and thought it was mediocre and forgettable. My aunt and uncle got divorced then remarried and had their remarriage family gathering meal celebration event there Maybe that's why it was forgettable.

 

Wasn’t Gally and Garden the place where the owner sued the SBA for discriminating against white owned businesses during COVID

 

it certainly was

 

Ha! Apparently so. What a shitty place

went to Helen tonight and god damn that was a fantastic meal. The Iberico presa was

 

Baumhower's off of 280 is going to relocate.

I watched the OJ chase there.

 

Lee Branch was open in 1994? Or is there another location?

 

It was somewhere OTM

 

Bumfucker’s tried to charge me double price for wings one time a couple years back. Server said nothing until the check arrived.
