The Michelin Guide recently shared its list of iconic Southern foods as well as some of the best restaurants serving them, and two Alabama eateries were among the ranks.

🍝 Decatur folks… talk to me.

Has anyone eaten at Mother’s Italian Kitchen yet?

I’ll drop the menu link in the comments, but the new concept food photos caught my eye.

You’ve got $20 to spend and you’re starving.
Where are you going?

One of our moves? A Big Papa Gyro combo + dip 🫓
