Birmingham doesn’t have an in-depth dining publication.

So we made one.

It’s an irrefutable fact that Birmingham is both a destination and a home for food lovers. But the Magic City lacks a dining publication that puts in an amount of thought and dedication that matches the restaurants themselves. Table Talk Bham’s goal is unearthing the stories beneath the local food scene through equitable coverage — no sponsored posts, no favors, and no free food.
