Gas station food in the Birmingham area

Tasty gas station food can be found in Alabama, if you know where to look, and some of it is downright delectable. When folks on the road need sustenance, a bag of chips and a cold soda simply won’t do. Ideally, we want a quick stop that fills the tummy and feeds the soul, fortifying us for the journey ahead, no matter how long or short the trip may be. #gasstationfood #Birmingham #Alabamafood

The roots of shrimp and grits wind through place and time. Back to the 1930s (at least) and Charleston, South Carolina, leading all the way into the previous century (at least) and Africa. Now in the 2020s, the limbs and leaves extend into Huntsville, Alabama, where the dish is a mainstay at many local restaurants.

The sweet story behind this luscious Alabama cake

Soon after Ashley McMakin opened her first Ashley Mac’s market and bakery in suburban Birmingham, she introduced a sweet new treat to the menu that would fast become her signature dessert. And the inspiration was McMakin’s mom, Sandy Deaton, who had perfected a strawberry cake recipe that she made for her youngest son Tyler’s birthday. #strawberrycake #Birmingham #Alabama
