Birmingham was recently given a distinct honor from Southern Living by being named one of the top 10 Tastiest Towns in the South. The list is a who’s who of culinary excellence around the region, from Charleston to New Orleans to Houston. And while many other cities can claim their own unique cuisine, no one else can claim that their town is the birthplace of the Southern Gourmet movement. We, however, can.

So, for all of our friends in and around the great State of Alabama, we humbly ask you to do one, simple thing: cast your vote in favor of the Magic City. Share this link with everyone you know and make sure you vote every day until January 31, 2012.
