We're Eric & Allison and we're on a journey to find the most interesting places and unique foods this planet has to offer! We've traded in our steady paychecks and permanent home for a life of travel and adventure. Come along and see the world with us!
It's so cool to see people visit my "Sweet Home Alabama!"
As a Birmingham resident here are the things you missed:
The Rainbow tunnels downtown
Oak mountain State Park
Most of five points
Moonshine rooftop bar
Turkey Creek nature preserve
Sloss furnace
Also missed Bessemer!
Timothy Richey and Gip’s Place! Too bad they are shutting it down :(
Yeah, five points support!
As a Birmingham resident as well, I agree! You have to visit them!
And the Botanical Gardens, Railroad Park, Regions Field, Mountain Brook (downtown), Storyteller Fountain (covered by Five Points, but kind of an experience on its own)....
We moved away a year ago, and I miss it so much. This vid made me SO homesick. 😔
I’m not crying. You’re crying. 😂
It is so nice to see a positive video about Birmingham. I have lived here for 32 years and I lived all over the country from FL, NY, CA, TX, and many more states and Birmingham is a really nice place to live. It has a bad rep because of the dogs and fire hoses but it is not at all like that any more.
Please come visit ...its a great city
@Chukmil98 it's a great city, not its a great city. Cmon man! You're proving the bad rep is right!
Visiting this summer! Really excited 🙂
Where looking at coming here next year it looks beautiful xc
Well it's bad reputation is earned, it wasn't a pleasant place for minorities.
And it’s top 3 murder rates lol bham some nice areas but they are all surrounded by jungle
Birmingham, Alabama ❤️❤️❤️
Yay! I’m so glad that you Visited Alabama! Hometown vibe and Hidden wonders! Yep, I live here! Come back!
I'm so glad y'all had fun in my home town! People are sleeping on Birmingham but it's really pretty wonderful!
It's a great town full of awesome people.
I like that "local, only 200 miles radius" . In Kent UK that would include the far side of Paris.
Yes, it's true. People who come from Europe have a really weird idea of exactly how BIG the US really is. They think they can land in New York City, rent a car, have lunch in Texas and check into their hotel in San Francisco in time to order room service for dinner! They don't realize that even the shortest route from New York to San Francisco would take three days of continuous driving, without stopping, except to switch drivers at bathroom breaks. They don't realize that several of our states are larger than most of their entire countries.
Here in Australia... 200 miles is sometimes the distance to the driveway of the property right next to yours xD xD
Haha! Yep, I know when we do local produce here (south uk) it’s a 15 mile radius!
Haha - and in Australia, 200 miles is still in the same suburb!
😂
Awww! It is so nice to see such a positive review of my chosen city! I'm not from Birmingham, but have chosen to stay here and I met my husband here. Birmingham has changed so much for the better in the past 10 years. I'm so glad y'all enjoyed yourselves here!
I have lived here my entire life . I’m a UA-cam Foodie and I appreciate your content on Birmingham, Alabama . This was refreshing. ♥️😊
Oh Wow!!! Thank You for such great reviews on Birmingham, Alabama. I've lived here all my life and never been inside Pepper Place. tfs
As a native of Birmingham, I’m so glad you enjoyed it. You just scratched the surface. 😊
I live in Birmingham, and you guys taught me things. Best Bham tourist video by far. Thanks, guys.
What an excellent review of Birmingham. You did some extensive research of the area beforehand to find Desoto Caverns and Pursell Farms. It is so easy to miss the real attractions when travelling, I will definitely start following your other destination videos.
As someone from Birmingham, England I love that you're pronouncing it like that 😋
Always enjoy two vids u 2
I'm from BirmingHAM, Alabama.
@@Boudica1313 im in Vincent Al
@@justblazen_4206 Omg! I'm friends with your police chief, James S.! I live in Sylacauga now, actually! Howdy neighbor!
@@Boudica1313 Strigley is awesome. My wife works in the plaza across from Kings Pawn lol. Nice to know ya
I think Birmingham has great art, music, food and people!
Agreed
Massive thumbs up for being probably the first US citizens that keep misprouncing Birmingham US in the prounciation of Birmingham UK..You have to be the first.As a Brummie UK glad our city made such an impression on you.So chuffed.You really made me smile.
They said Birmingham us right. I dont understand what u mean they are mispronouncing?
Super interesting ! I might beed to add Alabama to my travel wishlist now.
Its beautiful here in Bama. I love it lol
Prepare for humidity. If you have any breathing problems do not come. I suggest coming during the fall or winter. Winters are not usually too cold and in fall there is a nice breeze but it can still be pretty hot
@@SelPeach U aint lying 😂😂 Its been horrible this past week
@@justblazen_4206 I actually went to the doctor for asthma. Nope turns out it's just where we live that I have issues lol
@@SelPeach 😂😂 yup. I did a roofing job yesterday in hueytown. Damn near died 😂
Man I’m working downtown in Birmingham been here 4 months now and I fell in love with the city I’m staying over off 280 by the summit came from New Orleans working there for a year and originally from Washington DC but damn Alabama is nice cool people cheap living what else do you want
We love you and Birmingham...
Glad you made birmingham look so enjoyable! It really is a gem in Alabama, just wish people could drive a little bit better lol.
I have almost gotten hit while ridding my bike. Then I looked at the driver like he was crazy and my mom is like “Stop stop don’t look at people like that he might get out of his car and hit you”
Truth!
So happy you guys ate returning to Europe! I loved your southern roadtrip series. It was great!
This looks like such a chill place and a place where you can just relax and breathe for a bit. I’m glad you got to relax and drive around your home country for a while, you deserve the time off and the relaxation!
I really love watching this channel grow & you find your place and style on UA-cam. Love this channel! 💜
Thanks for shedding great light on Birmingham...even though you missed some other really great places! Glad you enjoyed our home city!
I love Alabama! Let people continue to think negatively. Keeps the traffic down. "Don't California my Alabama."
Alabama's food 👍👍👍
Come back again...and do a 2.0 tour during the fall...it is so much fun with all the festivals! And thanks, I love my Birmingham!
It looks like you had a really yummy time.
Thank you for always inspiring us to keep going with our channel. Xx
I LOVE THIS video in so many ways!! Thanks, The Endless Adventure!
I live in Birmingham and I love it. I always say “it’s a city with a small town feel”. The city itself is growing compared to 10 years old. I’m glad you guys like the city!! Come back and visit in a couple years. Maybe there will be new things around!
Great vlog as always. These are the places I now long to visit - thank you.
Great video guys!
Totally 💙 the road trip series!
All the food looks so delicious. Yum!!
I'm late to the thread, I just found your channel ! It really warms my heart to see what a wonderful job you did on sharing our fair city with the world. MSNBC came to Birmingham in the early 2000's to do a smear piece on the city. a very close friend invited me to a breakfast where African American pastor spoke. He told how he was asked to meet with the networks journalists and take them around the city to investigate this horrible racist town. After showing them everything they wanted to see they informed him they would pick him the next morning around 7:30 to really dig into the heart of Birmingham. After seeing the racial harmony and seeing how warm hearted our citizens are. They called him from the airport That afternoon and told him they were not going to run the piece since there was no story! So they got back on the good ship MSNBC and left to find another city to slander. We thank you for your openness to our city and such a great production you did. We love you and welcome you back anytime. And in good southern manners I say God Bless you and yours and Y'all come back soon!
Glad you two enjoyed your stay in Birmingham! Very nice video
Wow, Alabama isn't as backwards as I thought. At least when you go to a fairly big city I guess. But yeah the civil rights stuff and the sophistication/creativity of the food I didn't expect.
The South is less racist than the North. When someone is racist in the South they are overt which I can appreciate. But in the North they are more covert doing their racist stuff behind your back and one can't know where or who it's coming from but know it exists by the evidence.
What a crock of crap! The South is NOT less racist than the north! Total bullsh!t!
As a native Alabamian, I'll just say it's definitely backwards in many ways, and I'd probably never move back, but the food is fantastic, the people are (usually) nice, and Birmingham is actually a great city to visit!
I’m from Birmingham, AL. In the cities and college towns, we definitely have more “left” views than the country folk or the older generations. Don’t get me wrong, we do have issues (especially our governor and senators), but the people in general are wonderful!
Also, our food is amazing. You should come try it sometime!
@@theresag1969 there is a lot of racists, most of them are Dems!Liberalism is a mental disorder
So fun! Heading that way for the first time this summer. Thanks for the tips!
This is great! Thank you for an excellent video!
I work in Avondale right up the street from the brewery.. I love the brewery! It has nice vibes and they let you bring your dogs in!! And there is a bunch of great drinks
Pepper Place market is amazing!! Hikels bakery is a must for your breakfast!
Thanks guys x
As a Brit I though it was hilarious that you kept mispronouncing the town name in the first few clips, reverting to the UK Birmingham (Burminam). Loved your UK Birmingham tour and the US version looks really interesting too. Two gritty towns with history.
This is fantastic ! Well done ! I am a Birmingham native who now lives in France. Thank you for your beautiful reportage!
I just discovered you guys recently. I actually live in Birmingham and never thought I would love it here. But, I'm so glad you guys were able to experience it for the cool city that it is! I'm so excited to see your adventures across the USA! If you get back to bham, bring the RV and camp at Oak Mountain State Park!
I really enjoyed watching you both in Alabama. Funny because like you both I wouldn't have thought that it would have been the way you'll showed it.
Little tip about Vulcan, it’s a perfect place to watch the sunset. Also before 1999 he held a light. If it was red there had been a traffic fatality that day. If it was green there hadn’t.
Enjoy all the information of the cities you explore.
Ahhh welcome to my hometown!! Pepper place is one of our favorite things to do on a Saturday morning. Never seen a UA-cam video of my home and I LOVE it!!
All your Southern videos are making me miss Southern food!!
Thank you for making a positive video about my home town.
aww! y'all! I went to college in Bham and I miss it constantly, this video is so fun to watch :)
The show place of the south. I love the south feature of Alabama
Alabama!! Nice video have fun guys!!
Good EVENING adventurers! WOW! A first of many firsts!! 🥰🥰
Great review of a great city - thank you!!!
Great Video 👍. Thank you for posting.
We’re going to be up in the area for my birthday in October visiting my kids and now I know where I’m going to spend the day eating & drinking in Birmingham! THANKS!
Great video! I just moved to Birmingham and am looking forward to checking out these places
Great video. Thanks for taking us along. This makes me want to go Birmingham just to eat! Travel safe.
Come visit! So many awesome place in Birmingham!
You wouldn’t regret it!!
Thank you so much for making this video! I was raised in Birmingham and I will definitely be sharing this with my friends because we always get a bad rap, ex. The First 48. Also, Avondale brewery is the first place I take my friends from out of town. Oh and I laughed out loud when you showed the name of the beer, Beach, please! Too cute!
Thank you for the (rare) positive info on Birmingham, Alabama, USA! There’s SO much more to see in this great state! Come again!
Oh yes, btw, Vulcan is actually IN Birmingham....barely, no pun intended...the other side if that mountain is the quaint city of Homewood.......your drone showed his bare back side. This is referred to as “Moon over Homewood”, as that is their view of Vulcan!😂.
Y’all come back anytime!!!!
Did you visit Chedder gorge when you was in the UK, if not go they have caves and they age the cheese in the caves, worth a visit. Love your vlogs xx
That would have been about 12/20 hours away......... 🤷🏻♀️
?
Just so we’re clear, you know this video is about the American city, not the one in England?
You took me down memory lane! I lived in Birmingham for over four years! Funny that I have never been to any of the restaurants you visited--there are so many good ones in Bham, it's hard to get to them all! :)
History so interesting this places looks beautiful
Excellent video guys, I’m from Birmingham and it’s so refreshing to hear y’all enjoyed your stay, next try zip lining at Vulcan park, and Alabama adventure theme park. Oh yeah we have one of the worlds best wooden roller coasters
Thanks for taking us along to Birmingham. The music festival looking like a lot of fun. I do wish you had showed more of the walk of Birmingham's civil rights history.
Joan Hall we have an entire civil rights museum here in Birmingham! Wish they would have gone there, too.
@@Haleybell231 I know, right! And the 16th street Baptist church is right across the street from the statue of the 4 girls. One of the girls mother just passed away this week. 😢
What happened earlier? I was very upset I couldn't watch it. But it's back...yesss
I loved your video! You should definitely come back again. A lot has changed in the last 4 years 😊
I just love your videos ❤️
I’ve been to Alabama and we’re going there tommorow again and I can’t wait
Is Alabama a good place to go for a person of color ?
@@vhappy6428 Birmingham is almost 70% black so you will not experience any racism in Birmingham itself. I cannot say the same for all of Alabama but I promise you it is safe for people of every race. People are divided over Trump and Biden down here, not black and white.
I'm glad you guys stopped by. Come visit us again!
Pepper place is amazing! I drive 4 hours (from the Florida line) to come get food. Amazing, great vibes. You will meet some of the nicest people in Alabama!
Y'all don't often go to places I have been, whoohoo Desoto Caverns!
Love your videos!
Pepper Place is a big farmer market its fun. I lived here all my life since 1962 other caves people don't know about but only the locals Vulcan is 36' taller than the Statue is Liberty. Food is a big deal in B'ham
Those oysters look good! I'm no experienced oyster eater myself even though I absolutely love raw oysters but I think you're supposed to just put a little lemon or some cocktail sauce on top and definitely chew 'em up a little bit. The liquor/natural juice in an oyster is some of the best though try it with it next time instead of pouring it away.
I don't think she meant to pour out the oyster liquor. I think it was an accident of gravity and the very small "bowl" of that particular oyster. Personally, I like just a squeeze of lemon, or a bit of mignonette sauce which is a lemony-vinaigrette with minced onions and/or shallots, and sometimes some minced parsley and lemon zest floating in it. I don't really like cocktail sauce with oysters because it's so strongly flavored and all I can taste is ketchup and horseradish, not the oyster!
@@calichef1962 The spots here don't really make mignonette that I've noticed except for the really expensive ones I guess but that sounds delicious. I'm more of a just lemon guy myself but I notice others love the cocktail sauce the places I go to offer for their seafood.
Appreciate the segment on Civil Rights exhibits. Sure it was interesting to see. Thanks!
The cavern is amazing.
You really need to visit Wisconsin! We invented batter fried cheese curds! (I don't know if that's true) . People love Madison, but I live near La Crosse, right on the Mississippi River. If you're into freezing your butt off, come in the winter, but otherwise come in the summer. We have so many amazing restaurants and great entertainment. Love love love your channel!
y'all should ride over to the ATL , some fantastic food places, and then head North to Chattanooga TN !
I live 45 minutes from Birmingham! It’s one of my favorite cities!
Awesome video.
Gald y'all had great food and fun...
Your welcome back anytime.
Saw's Juke Joint!!!!is a must try! Come back awesome food and live music and spirits!!!!
I hope you've got Manchester on your list, lol. Amazing breweries, food halls,, music venues and street food and makers markets. It's a buzzin place... 👌
I hope that's Manchester UK r'kid? :-P
Be sure to go by Twiggy's Dance Club Its in Stretford
No Manchester near here.....they are in the USA.......
🤦🏻♀️ Love posts when people don’t read the info🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I love The Market at Pepper Place. I haven't been in quite a while, though. I'm not great with crowds lol! I still love the market. They have got a fairly new one starting up in another area of Birmingham (Hoover) called The Market at Brock's Gap. Looks like it's going to get some growth. New vendors coming in every week.
Its back!
So thanks for the video because we just moved here and needed some suggestions on neat places in Birmingham to go to!! I can’t wait to go to the next one-5 point Public House Oyster Bar!! At the Pizitz my husband ate at The Standard and I had Eli’s Jerusalem Grill-we loved it all.
I just learned about Pizitz, good to know where to go!
Go to The Fish Market in Birmingham ,Dreamland BBQ ,Nikis West ,Jim and Nicks BBQ .
Those places that they went to in this video are basically all new trendy restaurants and bars that have only been here for a few years . The Pizits building was abandoned for decades and was an old department store .The places inside are very new
@@rbeck3200tb40 Thanks for the recommendations! I just went to Jim and Nicks in 5 points a few days ago, looking forward to checking out the others
Thanks
Love you guys, and the food looked amazing. I live in England and I must confess, I've never seen a Scotch Egg with a runny yolk before! But then I live in the West Country and all ours are from the Supermarkets. Yours looked way better though (love a runny yolk).
You guys are awesome.. lots of love from India 🇮🇳 P.S. you new subscriber
Love you both x
Sours are my favorite type of beer, and one that's harder to find (to me). I would have drooled over a whole flight of them! ☺️
yeah gotta support the sour beer!
@@DavidBridwellMusicyes! People don't realize how good they are!
Oysters: lemon juice and green jalapeño Tobasco sauce. Yum yum.
Birmingham is full of hidden treasures but it’s hard to find the golden egg.
I nearly screamed when I saw Allison dump out the brine from the first Oyster!!! That's the best part!
I've seen her eat oysters lots of times before, and I think it was an accident caused by gravity and that oyster's particularly small "bowl."
Oyesters are the best 💖💖💖
Thanks for visiting Birmingham! Come back anytime! We'd love to show you some of our favorite spots.
Proud of va oysters, I try local oysters every place we travel
