He always wanted to start a podcast to showcase the Alabama food scene and so began The Eating Alabama Podcast. If you haven’t listened in, the EA Podcast is on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, and The Eating Alabama website. Thank you Nick for being a #FryDown2023 judge!

I have three great passions in life: food, travel and comedy! I can leave you laughing in your seats or ready to pull up a chair at a restaurant. Yes, my commentary is just that persuasive.

Today the Birmingham Water Works Board fulfilled a

Today the Birmingham Water Works Board fulfilled a more than 20-year-old promise to legally protect the source of metro Birmingham’s drinking water.Cahaba Riverkeeper and Cahaba River Society, represented by the Southern Environmental Law Center, reached an agreement with the Board and Alabama’s Attorney General to protect 7,000 acres of forested land around Lake Purdy, the Little Cahaba River, and the Cahaba River from development that could impact drinking water. Today, the Jefferson County Circuit Court approved that agreement.The protected land is a natural buffer filtering stormwater runoff, providing clean drinking water for hundreds of thousands of people, and recharging the water supply while keeping treatment costs low for all water users.“We now have a strong tool that engages the community with the Water Board in long-term protection of the land and drinking water source,” said Cahaba River Society Executive Director Beth Stewart. “We appreciate that the Birmingham Water Works Board and the Attorney General worked with us to find a solution that benefits all.”See link in bio to learn more.
