Eats before Birmingham Bowl

[GaUSFBull]

I mentioned this in another thread, but I highly recommend all Floridians stop or get food for tailgating at Dreamland BBQ in Birmingham prior to the bowl game.

Fantastic Alabama-based BBQ chain.

Only place I've ever eaten in Birmingham is Johnny Ray's BBQ.

If any of you have never had REAL southern food or want to have some on this trip, go to Irondale Cafe.  Many friends of mine who were born and raised in Birmingham and Alabama in general SWEAR by it.  As do I...I've been 3/4 times.  Lol 

It's incredible.  All the southern delicacies you can get your hands on. For an incredibly reasonable price.  

Irondale Cafe http://www.irondalecafe.com

1906 1st Ave N, Irondale, AL 35210

Its just outside side the city limits, but well worth the short drive.  Before the game, or the day before or after for lunch or maybe dinner.  It's only open from 11am-2:30pm most days, and sometimes from 5-7.

It's also the home of the "original fried green tomatoes"

The BullsPen had over 100 people at Dreamland ten years ago at the Bowl game.

That was a fun time.  Don't forget there is a USF sponsored happy hour right after the pep rally.  Last year this was a great event and they had all kinds of appetizers available for free for a few hours.  Also had a DJ and giveaways.  This should be a must for all Bulls fans at the pep rally.

Think this is what you're talking about:

Attend the Uptown Street Fest from 2:00pm - 8:00pm with the USF Pep Rally from 5:00pm - 5:30pm, Uptown entertainment district.

Continue the party across the street at Cantina Laredo where the Bulls gather on the rooftop. Complimentary appetizers and cash bar | 5:30pm - 7:30pm
