Books-A-Million to Host Book Signing for Birmingham Food: A Magic City Menu

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Sept. 14, 2015 - PRLog -- Books-A-Million to Host Book Signing for Birmingham Food: A Magic City Menu

Local author, Emily Brown, will be available to sign copies of book

Birmingham began as a boomtown filled with immigrants who held on to the best recipes from their homelands. More recently, locals like Frank Stitt and Carole Griffin helped transform the modern southern city into a foodie destination with the best of national trends. Andrew Zimmerman visited with his show Bizarre Foods America to tout one of the city’s most popular food trucks, Shindigs. Fast casual dining is done with care, and gems like Trattoria Centrale and Bettola are dedicated to local ingredients. Join food writer and restaurant enthusiast Emily Brown as she details the delectable history of food in the Magic City.

Highlights from Birmingham Food: A Magic City Menu:

· All of the historic images in the book were donated, either from restaurant archives or photographed from documents housed at the Birmingham History Center or postcards from Steve Gilmer’s collection at What’s on Second.

· Photographer and comedian Arik Sokol photographed key original portraits for the book.
