Unique Eats and Eateries of Alabama: The People and Stories Behind the Food

By Nicole Letts

Few places can claim both leafy mountain peaks and powdery beach shores as their own, but Alabama proudly does. These elevations create not only a beautiful landscape but also a unique dining culture. Gulf Coast shrimp from the bayou appears on menus as often as artisan goat cheese from the north. The state is home to Big Bob Gibson’s Alabama white sauce, a mayonnaise-based smoked meat topping; Wintzel’s Oyster House’s West Indies salad, a tangy vinegar and crab concoction; and Flora-Bama’s bushwacker, a boozy milkshake that will keep you coming back for more.

Author Nicole Letts invites readers to join her on a culinary cruise through Alabama the beautiful. From north to south and east to west, these are the eateries, confectionaries, greasy spoons, saloons, and plain old joints that make the state a food-centric destination you need to visit.
