In years past, Bama Blast was followed by Taste of Tuscaloosa, where local vendors gave away food and coupons to encourage students to seek dining options off-campus. While Tuscaloosa is known for many things, it is not necessarily known for its food. Other than Dreamland and City Cafe, we have no "must eat" restaurant.

We need to encourage entrepreneurial cooks and chefs in Alabama and perhaps nationally to open restaurants on 15th and on the Strip. The University is sitting on 2 empty leasing offices and what used to be Lai Lai. It's about time it gets developed.

Someone on another post suggested a "Alberta Cafe."
