I am sure that when people that live outside of the south think of southern cooking, they picture fried chicken, collards, black-eyed peas, maybe even chitlins and cornbread. And yes, these are staples of southern food (I've never had chitlins but many people eat them) but this doesn't mean that we eat this every meal everyday. Goodness, we would all be as big as a house if we did (yes, many people do eat like this in the south and yes, they are as big as a house. Why do you think the south is notorious for fat people?) Anyway, my point is that the south does offer a great number of delicious foods other than our stereotypical dishes. Mediterranean food seems to have taken this area of Alabama by storm. I don't know if Greek/Mediterranean food is popular throughout the south or the nation but it definitely has exploded here in Tuscaloosa and Birmingham. My very favorite is Nabeels:
Nabeel's market and cafe is located in Homewood, Alabama has wonderful Greek food. I love their Moussaka and Greek salad. The have sandwiches, pitas, traditional Greek dishes, like Shrimp Aegean and the Gyro plate and their prices are so affordable. Two people can easily eat there for around $25-$30.
