Alabama: Highlands Bar & Grill (Birmingham)
Highlands Bar & Grill put the Birmingham, Alabama, dining scene on the map when it opened in 1982. Chef and co-owner Frank Stitt, who runs Highlands with his wife, Pardis, has already been inducted into the Alabama Academy of Honor and included among the James Beard Foundation’s Whos Who of Food & Beverage. The daily changing menu includes regional Southern foods prepared with classic French technique, such as oysters, grits, pheasant and venison.
