About Us

Excited that you found our page! We’ve documented the amazing food in Alabama and in the South since around 2017-18. We started posting food on our personal Instagram/Facebook feeds but thought it would make more sense to post on a page that only features the food. It’s the best decision we could’ve made!

Nick grew up in Bessemer, Alabama. He has deep seeded southern roots as his family still lives close to one another and gets together as often as possible. Nick is a collector of old school skateboards, music, cookbooks, and bourbon. Right now - he is a big time sneaker head… he loves his Dunks and Jordans. He dreamed of starting a podcast highlighting Alabama chefs and Alabama’s food industry and he began the journey in 2019! The Eating Alabama Podcast is his passion and he’s so pumped to start Season 5 in 2023. If you haven’t listened in, the EA Podcast is on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, and our website.

I’m Jenny! My dad was from Tallassee, Alabama but he knew as a teenager that he wanted to travel the world. My dad had a career in the Army and then with the State Department. His career with the State Department took us to Italy, Austria, China, and France. I lived in Rome, Italy in middle school, in Vienna, Austria in high school, and then visited my family in Beijing and Paris while I attended Samford University. That is where I met Nick! I don’t have as many collections or hobbies as Nick does, but I love cooking, collecting cookbooks, sewing, making cakesicles, and of course, photography! Nick and I both agree that food, cooking, and Nikes are a common interest.

If you follow us on social media, thank you! Thank you for your support. It feels so good to meet people who are like us and have an appreciation for food that tells a story. Food that makes you feel some type of way - that makes you think and remember.
