In fact, Birmingham is home to a couple James Beard awarded restaurants. The other is Hot and Hot Fish Club, where you'll find the crowd favorite, Tomato Salad! The restaurant owners have created a fantastic network of purveyors to obtain the freshest ingredients around.

Moving a little to the west, we discover how Sin City has changed over the years. From The Sultan's Table in the 60's to Wulfgang Puck's Spago, the 5-star dining scene has continue to grow up and down the famous strip.

Downtown is making a comeback by the opening new resort, Circa Las Vegas. Where they'll offer over 10 drinking and dining experiences from casual dining to old-school style with a modern twist.
