Of venison? O generous food!"

I got very confused at the forum title as to why a period drama with Abbie Cornish would win a food award. :) Congrats Bright Star!

Yeah!!! Congrats to this well deserved restaurant for the award. That really is quite an honor. I just ate at Bright Star for the first time in November and you can read about my visit here:

Bessemer, AL's Bright Star has been named one of the James Beard Foundation Awards' "American Classics" honorees. It is the first Alabama restaurant to earn this distinction.
