Birmingham, Alabama

Several acclaimed white tablecloth restaurants grace the Birmingham dining scene, helping make the city a bona fide culinary destination in the South. Establishments like the famous Highlands Bar and Grill and the Hot and Hot Fish Club combine traditional Southern ingredients with sophisticated techniques and presentation, evident in dishes like stone ground baked grits cooked with thyme, and fried green tomatoes served with crawfish tails and remoulade. Barbecue and other casual specialties also abound. A true Birmingham institution, Pete’s Famous Hot Dogs, is renowned for the “All the Way” dog, which is smothered with sauerkraut, onions, mustard, and a special sauce.

Pumpkin Cake II

Reviewed on Nov. 29, 2009 by lace

The cake was very moist and turned out beautiful. I followed others' suggestions and reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup and used an entire 15 oz can of pumpkin. I don't really care for pumpkin, but my family enjoyed it for Thanksgiving. Not too sweet. I used a rum cream cheese glaze, which can be found as part of another pumpkin cake on this site.

Holiday Pumpkin Cake with Rum-Cream Cheese Glaze

Reviewed on Nov. 29, 2009 by lace

This review is for the glaze only - The consistency of this glaze was incredible! It stayed exactly where I wanted it. I ended up adding no more than 1 extra tsp of milk, a few drops at a time. The flavor was also really good. My family really enjoyed it on a pumpkin cake (different recipe). I would definitely use this glaze for other cakes and vary it with vanilla or almond extracts.

Cheese Crispies

Reviewed on Nov. 27, 2009 by GRITS:Girl Raised In The South

Fantastic! I followed the recipe exactly. These were not greasy at all... I'm not sure why they are turning out that way for others. I did use fine pre-shredded sharp cheddar. I think this might have helped the greasy factor.
