Bucket List: Alabama Eats

So, as I stated in a previous post from earlier in the week... I LOVE food!
I LOVE good food. I LOVE cooking food. I LOVE different food and I 
LOVE visiting new restaurants, especially ones that are right here in our 
great 'ol state of Alabama.

Alabama's Department of Tourism has compiled a list of "100 dishes 
to eat in Alabama before you die". (You can check out the full list here.)
I'm happy to say that some of these have already been "checked" off my
list!! However, there are sooo many more that I am dying to try!

Today I am putting together my own little "bucket list" of  "dishes to eat in 
Alabama before I die"... and I'm on a mission to get this stuff in my mouth
ASAP! :) Most of these are coming straight from the original list, but I will also be
adding a few of my own (that should be on the list anyway, lol). I love to hear
from ya'll, so please share any of your favorite dishes and/or restaurants in
the comments section below!
