This week we celebrated my daughter's 21st birthday with a family dinner at Automatic Seafood and Oysters. The chef there recently won a James Beard award for Besf Chef in the South.
It was $600 of meh for eight people as far as I was concerned.
I had Gullah shrimp with crab rice which was decent but honestly overspiced.
I will admit that I do not generally enjoy high-end restaurants, as I feel they are way overpriced and overhyped. I have never understood the high-end foodie culture.
A really good steakhouse is an exception, but even then I'm not sure the experience is worth the price.
Birmingham has a very good reputation for restaurants, but I love finding dives and basics over "gastronomic experiences."
