A great way is to experience Alabama is through its cuisine. I’m often asked how I find these new places to check out. My secret, I ask the locals where to eat. Trust me; they tell you the truth on where to go and where NOT to go. I feel that in trying new restaurants in different Alabama cities gives you an appreciation for other cuisines and cultures.

Nick Triantafillis will host his annual World Hunger Meal fundraiser on Jan. 24 at Western Steak House. The event will be takeout only due to the pandemic.
Triantafillis, the former owner of Nick’s Cuisine in Burlington, has been hosting the fundraiser for 32 years now.
Born in Greece, Triantafillis said he knew hunger as a child, which prompted him to start this event when he moved to Alamance County in the late 1970s.
“Growing up very poor, homeless, working for something to eat, I started it because it’s always a need for people,” he said. “It doesn’t end.”
Meals at the event will cost $10 and will be served between 10:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. On the menu this year is Greek food including chicken or pork tenderloin souvlaki served with pita bread, salad and baklava. All the food is homemade and Triantafillis has already been cooking for days.
