1. For Andrew Zimmern, it’s all about Miss Myra’s BBQ chicken.
Who doesn’t love Miss Myra’s Pit Bar-B-Q chicken with white sauce? Although I’m now a vegetarian, I have nothing but fond memories of eating that sandwich. My husband and I even had some at our wedding—that’s how much we liked it!
Bham Now wrote about how Far & Wide named Miss Myra’s Pit Bar-B-Q “Top Pick” for best sandwich in Alabama back in June 2019. At that time, Andrew Zimmern’s love for Miss Myra’s was no secret.
2. Andrew Zimmern loves Birmingham’s food scene.
“I found Birmingham a very exciting town to eat my way through…. Birmingham is a gold nugget in a river of mud.”
