		<description><![CDATA[Fast food chains generally make me queasy, but I couldn&#8217;t help feeling warm and fuzzy inside when I spotted the bright yellow sign for Bojangles&#8216; in the distance. I read about this storied southern chain years ago and have been curious to taste their signature Chicken &#8216;n Biscuits and Bo-Berry Biscuits ever since. Sometimes, my soft [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Years ago when I first visited Birmingham, The Astronomer treated me to lunch at Dreamland Bar-B-Que. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich, while he had a half slab of ribs. There was also a side of macaroni and cheese and a tall stack of white bread, if memory serves me right. It was one hell [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If our schedules and wallets didn&#8217;t mind very much, The Astronomer and I would travel to Birmingham once a month to visit family. As it stands right now, we&#8217;re only able to head south twice a year&#8212;once during the holidays and another time during the summer months. This summer&#8217;s visit came toward the tail end [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For our final restaurant outing of 2010, The Astronomer treated me to a meat fest of smoky proportions at Saw&#8217;s BBQ, a relative newcomer to the Birmingham barbecue scene. Joining us for the joyous occasion were select members of the Indian Springs School class of 2003. The man behind Saw&#8217;s BBQ is Mike Wilson, a [...]]]></description>

At one point there were three Vietnamese restaurants in town, but Phở Hoàng threw in the towel sometime last year, so these days it&#8217;s just Saigon Noodle House and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to Chef Richard Blais, molecular gastronomy and fancy hamburgers, two of the restaurant world&#8217;s most exciting trends, can now be found down South. After the success of Blais&#8217; original Flip Burger Boutique in Atlanta, a second location was opened in Birmingham late last year. I initially found the idea of a burger &#8220;boutique&#8221; kind of [...]]]></description>

Aside from baking twelve-layer cakes and sipping liquid nitrogen milkshakes, we also ventured east of Birmingham on an overnight bike trip with the entire family.

The idea of a white barbecue sauce definitely piqued our interests, but it was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lately, I&#8217;ve been spoiling my appetite by consuming rich desserts moments before sitting down to dinner. I don&#8217;t mean to disrupt the natural order of things, it&#8217;s just that bakeries tend to close up early, and keeping my hands off freshly purchased sweets is nearly impossible. Gluttony and lack of self control seem to compromise [...]]]></description>

In addition to finger-licking good barbecue, Alabama is [...]]]></description>
