Faves

We're currently in San Francisco for a few days before heading to Napa with friends for a few gluttonous days of food and wine.  I'll do a full post on the trip in a few weeks, but if you want to eat and drink with me, follow along on Instagram @jillbuker

Let's get to it.......


This book sounds so interesting.

 Axe throwing and beer.......what could possibly go wrong???

Bobby Flay's Bar Americain shuts the doors.  Insert sad face.

Will someone please do this with a Go-Pro and send me the pics.  I don't think I could muster up the courage.

I've stalked Ashley Longshore on Instagram for a few years now and would love to have one of her big, bold prints on my wall.  She's the first solo female artist to ever exhibit at Bergdorf's.

My brother introduced me to this Instagram account and it might just be the cutest thing ever.  Literally.

The Muscle Shoals documentary is one of my favorites.  If you've seen it, you're familiar with The Swampers.  They never released any recordings of their own music, until Friday.  Worth a listen.

And five essential Muscle Shoals albums.

The story behind Sweet Home Alabama.

Change the way you cook vegetables.  Game changer.

This stuffed shell recipe is my idea of comfort food.  It's definitely happening.

Ghost Train Brewery

I recently bought some Ghost Train beers from Whole Foods (the only place to buy craft beers around here) and loved them. While in an area of downtown, my aunt and I passed the Ghost Train brewery and I knew I wanted to go back and visit. My sister and aunt aren’t really craft beer fans (yet), but I managed to coax them into coming with me. Oh, and Callan wanted to go too. We had the craft lager, the sour, and the golden ale, and we all had seconds! Great beers, great atmosphere, super friendly staff. And I met the love of my life, Dexter (sweetest dog in the world). If you ever get a chance, go spend some time at Ghost Train. 

City Bowls

This thing was to die for. Delicious combo of ingredients. Follow them on Insta @citybowls to find out where they will be next and go check them out! 

400 Rabbits

Okay, I’m sorry this is the second alcoholic thing on my list, but it really deserves to be on here. My uncle treated me and Jill to a few cocktails the other night and this was my favorite, hands down. Mezcal, lime juice, chartreuse, and maraschino liqueur. Quite the combo. Found at Fresco in Vestavia Hills.
