"Hummingbird cake may have originated in Jamaica in the late 1960s, but the South took to it quickly, and it has since become a staple of Southern cuisine. Restaurant Beatrice makes a great version of it using fresh pineapple and bananas — the whole thing topped with lush layers of cream cheese frosting. It makes for a moist slice of cake that the restaurant says is one of their best sellers. Enjoy it in the fleur-de-lis decorated dining room, or take a slice (or a whole cake, if you order a week in advance) home." - Courtney E. Smith
