Alabama Year of Food

"Also known as Nick's in the Sticks. Make sure you sample their signature drink, the Nicademus. Commemorate your trip by stapling a signed dollar bill to the ceiling."

"LuLu's menu is full of fresh seafood and other fried favorites, but don't pass over on some Lulu's originals: Lower Alabama Caviar and LuLu's version of the Cheeseburger in Paradise."

"If you're here for breakfast, try their Farmer's omelette: potatoes, onions, peppers, sausage, ham and plenty of cheese. If you're here for a fun evening, order Tacky Jack's version of the Bushwacker."

"Catch a great view of Florence atop this 30 story rotating restaurant. Try and book a reservation at sunset for a picturesque dining experience."

"A great place to entertain out-of-town guests and celebrate special occasions. Impress your group by recommending the baked grits."

"While you wait, play a game of boule in the courtyard. It's the perfect way to pass the time in anticipation of a great meal."
