About Us

We’re so glad you found our page! Eating Alabama has been our way of sharing the incredible food we’ve discovered across Alabama and throughout the South since 2018. What started as posting on our personal Instagram and Facebook feeds quickly grew into something bigger, and we realized it deserved its own space. Creating a page just for food was hands down the best decision we’ve made!

Nick grew up in Bessemer, Alabama, where family and southern traditions run deep. His family still lives close together and gathers often, which keeps those roots strong. He’s a collector at heart—old-school skateboards, music, cookbooks, and bourbon all have a place in his life. He’s also a big sneakerhead. In 2019, he took his love for Alabama food a step further and launched the Eating Alabama Podcast. Highlighting Alabama chefs and the state’s food industry has become his passion project. If you haven’t tuned in yet, you can find the podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, and our website.

I’m Jenny! My Alabama roots trace back to Tallassee, where my dad grew up. But he had dreams of seeing the world, and his career in the Army and later the State Department gave our family that opportunity. Because of him, I spent middle school in Rome, high school in Vienna, and visited family in Beijing and Paris while attending Samford University—where I met Nick. While I don’t collect as many things as he does, I love cooking, baking, sewing, collecting cookbooks, and especially photography. For both of us, food and cooking are constant sources of joy (and yes, we both love a good pair of Nikes too).

If you follow us on social media, thank you for being here and supporting us! It means so much to meet people who, like us, believe food tells a story. Food connects us, it brings comfort, and it creates memories. That’s the heart of what we share through Eating Alabama—food that makes you feel.
