Local Alabama Restaurant in MSN’s “60 Iconic U.S. Restaurants to Try Before You Die”
What a nice surprise when I found out that my favorite restaurant since I was a little girl is included in the list. I/we could have easily told them, but they didn't ask me/us. :) (plus, it doesn't hurt that one of the original owner's dated my grandmother for a short time. :) )
Congratulations to the Bright Star!
This is what MSN had to say:
THE BRIGHT STAR
City: Bessemer, Alaska
Type of food: Seafood/Greek
What people say: This landmark opened in 1907 and is still worthy of a stop. A James Beard Foundation "America's Classic," it's as renowned for service as for food.
What to order: The snapper throats and gumbo are at the top of diners' lists, along with the homemade pies.
If you haven't been in a while, you'll pleasantly surprised to know that they are restoring the original murals from 1907, and they are beautiful. That alone, is reason to go, but while you're there, you might as well order their Greek Steak. Oh(!), and their coconut cream pie. Great. Now I'm hungry and it's only 9:24am.
