Birmingham’s food and beverage scene is recognized around the nation as one of the finest experiences you’ll find, and it’s only amplified by how close-knit of a community our small businesses seem to have amongst themselves. The perfect representation of the beauty that is found in collaboration amongst great companies comes in the form of the hot chicken biscuit meal offered on the first Saturday of each month by Hattie B’s Hot Chicken and Seeds Coffee. These Southern delicacies have the option to be topped with honey and are found at Seeds’ scenic Homewood location at 174 Oxmoor Road from 8-11am or until they run out - so don’t sleep in on this wonderful offer! 

Both shops had already earned a large number of repeat customers due to years of great service and great tasting menu items before deciding to come together to create a glory of new proportions. Seeds has built a reputation for having some of the finest sourced coffees from around the world, and building powerful partnerships with the farmers they work with. They also have great pastries available, and provide one of the most enjoyable outdoor work locations found in Birmingham. It doesn’t hurt that they are a short walk from the fun folks at Little London either.

Hattie B’s came from Nashville many years back to bring Lakeview the heavenly tastes that come with eating hot chicken. The levels go from Southern (no heat) all the way to Shut The Cluck Up!!! The sides provide just as much variety as the heat levels with pimento mac & cheese, bacon-cheese grits, Southern greens, and red skin potato salad being just a few of the wonderful options. Hattie B’s also boasts one of the best outdoor dining patios, but on the first Saturday morning of every month it’s all about putting their hot chicken on a delicious Seeds biscuit in Homewood.

There are plenty of great activities to enjoy this weekend in the Birmingham area, and there’s no better way to start the weekend than with a combination that can only be found in the Magic City! The great location, great hot chicken biscuit, and great collaborative effort offer a snapshot of all the things that make Birmingham so fantastic - and it tastes pretty dang good too!
