So no BHM restaurants on your list?
Your tactics are as obvious as they are simple minded. You deflect and change the subject, never offering up any valid contrary arguments. You can't argue in the affirmative, just the negative. It has been clearly demonstrated here that while they are both great college towns, by any of the standard measures that can be discussed without using your vague generalizations, Tuscaloosa offers a richer and more diverse social scene for the typical undergrad experience. For most people Auburn would be the better place to raise a family. Why can't you behave like a normal human being?

What do you consider old? That might explain a lot about you.
Life expectancy in the US is 78 years, so anyone over 39 years old is old.

Bottom line is that too many Bama fans live their entire life thru the eyes of a 18-21 year old. This site is evidence of that. Even the sidewalk fans only see the world thru their game day experience.

If you are vague enough then you can never be wrong. It is a solid strategy for posting.

I would say it's even better for anyone that's not trying to raise a family, like me.

Southern Living puts out a list of the Top 100 restaurants in the South... and I must say that its a very good list. I've probably eaten at least 2 dozen, and based on my experience, they do a good job.
As far as college towns in the South (outside the larger cities with universities), there are very few that have one of these restaurants.
Athens has 2 (Five & Ten; Cinco y Diez)
Chapel Hill has 2 (Crook's Corner; Lantern)
Lexington has 1 (Table Three Ten)
Oxford has 1 (Snack Bar)
Auburn has 1 (Acre)
I'm not sure if you Hogs consider Bentonville part of Fayetteville, but if so, then there is on there (The Hive)

Yep, seems about par for the course.
Most of the places I'd consider very good eateries in Tuscaloosa would compare to a lot of the places in Athens that I also enjoy : Last Resort, Globe, Nona. Not good enough to make any regional or national lists, probably, but very nice little dinner spots.

Yeah Athens has Hugh Acheson so they are going to be good.

FYI, in terms of larger cities, here are how many restaurants in each major metro made the list
11- Charleston
10- Atlanta
8- New Orleans
7- Nashville
6- Birmingham
6- Washington (DC)
4- Dallas
4- Louisville
4- Richmond
3- Austin
3- Raleigh/Durham
3- Memphis
2- Miami
1- Tampa
1- Baltimore
Orlando, San Antonio, and Charlotte are all falling short with zero.
I will say, in my opinion, Charleston and New Orleans are the gastro hubs of the region... especially when you consider the size of those cities.
For its size, Birmingham has a very good food scene... with 2 major heavy hitters in Highlands and Hot & Hot Fish Club. Those are arguably 2 of the Top 5 restaurants in the South just right there.
Nashville's food scene has really come around in the last 5-10 years. It used to be lacking, but its now up to par I'd say.
Not sure if I'd even consider Washington DC the South, but there are some amazing restaurants there as well.

Yep, 100%. Well earned reputations too. You can throw a rock in any direction in the downtown regions of both places and find a fantastic eatery.

I wouldn't consider it the South, but is another that a rapidly growing food/culture scene. I mean, 30 years ago DC was considered a big concrete slab of boring outside of Georgetown, but government and those who make money off the government have bloated and brought along food/culture and it has revitalized a lot of older areas of the city.
The Atlanta thing is blowing up even more since the recession ended. There is a new highly rated restaurant popping up along the Beltline or somewhere else in-town every couple weeks it seems, and that is in addition to already having such a large number of highly rated restaurants.

For food?
Birmingham is one of the top food cities in the south, period. We also have a couple of the top chefs in the entire country. Atlanta has more options sure, but more =/= better

What is considered Atlanta's food style? All other major cities have a trademark style food, but Atlanta is generic. I call Dallas Atlanta's twin. but they even have an identity(beef). When you think of Atlanta you think of Varsity hotdogs or chick-fil-a.
