Fresh food aplenty today
Some folks forget that we have a farmers market that’s been open daily in town for years. If you’re wide awake and you’re wondering what to do this morning before the heat settles in again today, you may want to head over to the Alabama Farmers Market (344 Finley Avenue) and enjoy their second annual Family & Friends Festival.
If you read this a little later in the morning, you’ve got until 1 p.m. to get over there to enjoy free hot dogs, chips & sodas, live music, food samples, grilling demonstrations, kids activities… (taking breath), and the best tasting tomato & heaviest tomato contests.

It’s time to eat more donuts
That’s what Dunkin Donuts is banking on. The Birmingham Business Journal is reporting (paid subscription) that the Canton, MA based company plans to blanket the Birmingham market with 72 locations over the next few years. It will be interesting to see how these new locations will fit into the regional market since already enjoy a Shipley’s location in Hoover and three Krispy Kreme locations throughout metro Birmingham.

Baby Blue salad in a pickup truck
No, we’re not kidding. This morning Franklin Biggs and employees from his Homewood business prepared what has to be one of the largest Baby Blue salads ever… in the bed of a red pickup truck. A large crowd turned out despite the rain, and Biggs is hoping for a larger turnout as he prepares to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his Homewood Gourmet store this afternoon at the Children’s Dance Foundation. Learn more about it by visiting this post or you can click here to view the eVite.
Franklin’s Homewood Gourmet turns 10 this weekend!
Franklin’s Homewood Gourmet‘s Baby Blue Salad is arugably one of the most loved dishes in metro Birmingham. Tomorrow morning, July 7, if you head out to the Pepper Place Farmer’s Market, Franklin Biggs will be making it as part of his cooking demonstration (beginning at 9 a.m.).
If you miss that, and after you go by the shop and realize it’s closed for the day, you could head on over to his 10th anniversary celebration at the Children’s Dance Foundation (CDF). It goes from 3 – 7 p.m. and costs $20. The net profit from the event will be split between the CDF and Taste of the Nation, a national program that is working to end childhood hunger in America.
