Heritage | noun | her·i·tage: something that is handed down from the past - traditions, values, culture and cuisine – from generations before us. Every city has a unique heritage, shaping what they have become today, and Birmingham is no different. FOOD+Heritage will be an annual event, each year celebrating different cultures, communities and parts of our city’s heritage that have played a role in shaping the Magic City’s distinguished culinary identity.

Embark on a culinary journey celebrating Birmingham's vibrant Greek community and its profound influence on the city’s award-winning food scene. This year’s Heritage Dinner, a multi-course, family-style seated event, honors generations of Greek families who have woven rich threads into Birmingham's cultural fabric. From the shared ethos of Greek and Southern hospitality to a mutual appreciation for the essence of a hearty meal, these cultural and culinary parallels have indelibly shaped our palates. Savor harmonious Greek and Southern dishes, enjoy wine pairings, and be captivated by stories, live music and performances at this Greek celebration under the stars at Pepper Place. Opa!

Menu to be announced at a later date.

Tables will be serviced as tables of eight with shared family-style platters. Due to the format of the dinner, there will be no substitutions.

Seating is not reserved, so if you are wanting to sit together as a group, please claim your seats upon arrival.
