Yoâ Mamaâs, a homegrown lunch and brunch place in downtown Birmingham, has long enjoyed a loyal local (and regional) following. Now the eatery has attracted some welcome, timely national attention, too.
Yoâ Mamaâs is one of about three dozen restaurants around the country â and the only one in Alabama â to receive a James Beard Foundation (JBF) grant through the organizationâs Food and Beverage Investment Fund for Black and Indigenous Americans.
Crystal Peterson, co-owner and the general manager of Yoâ Mamaâs, says they are thrilled with the grant. âItâs really cool to be included in something that is considered so prestigious in the food industry.â

Arcadia’s UnderTow Space Will Now Be …
The underbelly of Sip Coffee and Beer at 3620 East Indian School Road was once famously home to UnderTow. But since the tiki bar moved in with its parents next door at Century Grand (with a second location coming in 2021 to Agritopia in Gilbert), there’s an opportunity for a new venture in the subterranean space. The petite spot will soon be 36 Below, another basement bar serving extremely high-end cocktails from the looks of it. According to ABC15, 36 Below will be overseen by Sip’s owner Josh Katz, his business partner Maurice “Moe” Murillo, and mixologist Sheldon Wiley also known for being a Guinness World Record-holding super-fast bartender. The opening is set for March.
