The Birmingham Food Guide is not a comprehensive list of everything to eat in Birmingham. It is, however, a curated list of the best places to eat in Birmingham with a full write-up for each venue. The Birmingham Food Guide has a preference for hole-in-the-wall joints, local haunts, dive bars, and a mindful disregard for fine dining. It’s not that I don’t enjoy fine dining. I just don’t write about it.
