"Homewood-based Hero Doughnuts may be acclaimed for its pastries, but folks haven’t really enjoyed Hero if they haven’t eaten something savory sandwiched between the brioche buns. Those uninitiated should try the fan-favorite Hero Burger or Spicy Chicken sandwich, or the sleeper hit, the chicken salad sandwich, which is available on Thursdays. With satellite locations in the Summerhill neighborhood of Atlanta and in Charleston, it’s clear Birmingham isn’t the only city that can’t get enough of Hero Doughnuts." - Sarra Sedghi
