Suck it New Orleans. Birmingham is the food city now

The wait is finally over for Birmingham's Highlands Bar and Grill, which tonight won the prestigious James Beard Foundation Award as the most outstanding restaurant in America.
Highlands previously had been a finalist for the award for nine years in a row before winning in its 10th year.

Highlands pastry chef Dolester Miles also won big earlier in the night, taking home the award for most outstanding pastry chef.
This year's other finalists for outstanding restaurant were Balthazar in New York City, Canlis in Seattle, Frasca Food and Wine in Boulder, Colo., and Quince in San Francisco.

Birmingham has also been well-represented at the James Beard Awards in recent years.
Stitt was chosen the best chef in his region in 2001, and he was one of five finalists for the most outstanding chef in the country in 2008. Also, in 2011, he was inducted into the foundation's Who's Who of Food and Beverage in America, a group that includes Julia Child, Thomas Keller, Graham Kerr, Wolfgang Puck and Emeril Lagasse, among others.
In 2012, Chris Hastings of Birmingham's Hot and Hot Fish Club won a James Beard Award for best chef in the South, and in 2010, the Bright Star in Bessemer was named an "America's Classic" by the Beard Foundation.

Love this place! I haven't tried any of the other finalists, but Highland's is amazing.

Well deserved. He should have won a long time ago.

A main course, couple of sides and a salad will set you back about $60.
Add whatever drinks to that bill.

Only two of the previous 27 outstanding restaurant winners have been from cities other than New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles or New Orleans.

The food in that place is tasteless. I always bring my Tony Chacere's with me when I eat there.
