"Led by a chef widely credited as the godfather of Birmingham’s culinary scene, this restaurant helped popularize bold Southern techniques and flavors; it historically introduced diners to offal preparations by incorporating turkey hearts and gizzards into a celebrated giblet dressing long before ‘offal’ became trendy." - Chris Fuhrmeister
"An award-winning layered coconut cake from the pastry chef requires patience and multiple coconut elements—shredded coconut, extract, cream, and milk—but rewards the baker with a large, showstopping cake whose components keep well enough that it effectively becomes a multi-day pantry-friendly luxury." - Rebecca Flint Marx
"Samin Nosrat's appearance — a 'virtual culinary conversation and a live Q-and-A discussion with Frank and Pardis Stitt, the co-owners of Birmingham-area, award-winning restaurants like Bottega, Chez Fon-Fon, and Highlands Bar & Grill." - Eater Staff
"Owned by Chef Frank Stitt, awarded Most Outstanding Restaurant in America in 2018."
