I know, I know...this gets asked (and debated) A LOT!... almost weekly. So far I was convinced Back Forty has one of the best burgers in town (I don't eat meat too often so the vegan burger from Ferus is on the top of the list as well :-), BUT on Sunday I tried a burger from a new food truck (Diya) behind Wilson market (1405 15th St S Birmingham, AL 35205) near Dreamland BBQ in Glen Iris.

It's called smashburger and costs only $5.99..yep, you read that right $5.99. I thought it was pretty amazing and very affordable. I will say the sweet onions and sauce might be a little bit on the sweet side, but that may be just me, the no sugar guy. It does taste pretty unique and pretty good. They just changed their menu and may still listen to input, though. Go and check it out and let's vote!

A little background: I'm not affiliated with this business in any way but I do know the owner, Ali, since he started the Milky way brownie bar next door. He is a pretty friendly and chill guy, and their ice cream and homemade brownies are pretty awesome too. While you are at it, try them too...lol

The food truck started out as an Australian food truck with Kangaroo burgers but apparently there are not enough foodies in the Ham that appreciate something a little different! Really? So he just changed name and menu to go Indian-themed. However, the smash burger was popular before and stayed on the menu.

They also have some sort of Indian-style rice bowl dish where you can basically make your own thingiething with different kinds of meat etc etc. Unfortunately, I didn't take a pic or tried anything else yet.

Y'all, if you get hangry at lunch this week, are tired of the same ol' ol', then go check it out and give our local entrepreneurs and food scene some needed love!

Way to go Bham!! Great crowd, great signs!

I toured a home yesterday that is a beautiful historic home. I know it won’t last long and I’m thinking about putting an offer but I’ll be living alone as a late 20s woman and want to make sure I’d be safe

It’s technically in the Southside area, up higher on the hill. I didn’t feel sketched out when I toured, just classic city vibes where every other house is something vastly different. And I’ve lived in downtown ATL and Nashville, so I know to use common sense with keeping house/car doors locked and such. But just want to make sure I wouldn’t need to seriously reconsider living there.

The house is beautiful and in my price range. And I work at UAB so very convenient. I’m in love with it but don’t want to make an emotional decision I end up regretting. Any help would be appreciated!

One of my cats went missing today In the portobello road area near 280. He's only a year old. If you have any updates please message the number above.

My wife and I are looking for therapists (for both of us, individually, not couples) and would like some recommendations.

It would be very nice to have a therapist that is well versed in adult ADHD and autism. Thanks.

I’m a 25 year old male about to move up Bham for a job. I was looking for nightlife options. I had found neon moon pretty small when I had gone. But I went to Moes this past weekend and it was great, completey packed with young people

Passing through on our way to NOLA. Never been to Birmingham so any help is much appreciated!

A woman in her late 70’s early 80’s bumped into my car in the Walmart parking lot today in Hoover and drove off. Word on the street is this isn’t her first rodeo. I will find you.

Looking to bring my dog to some pet-friendly events! :) I know Doo-Dah Day is May 17th, so maybe something like that? Thank You!

Anywhere in Bham I can get my grandfathers slide projector cleaned and repaired? Kodak late 50’s early 60’s

I’m tasked with buying meat for a family cookout. I’m looking for steaks, chicken, and hamburger meat. I’ve got to feed around 30 people so what place has some good prices on meat? The cuts of the steak don’t have to be top tier I’m just looking to feed a bunch of people for cheap.

So, I just recently bought a 90s JDM import car and I'm looking for mechanic recommendations. I'm reasonably comfortable doing some work on the car myself but I'd like to find someone who's comfortable working on stuff i don't have the space or time to handle. It's a Nissan Stagea, which is basically a Skyline GT-R Wagon. It is kind of a niche request, I know. I've seen Birmingham Performance Center and they are an option but I'd like to get any recommendations my fellow redditors have. Thanks!

I missed out yesterday but I see there is another nation wide protest planned for 4/19. Anyone have details on who organizes the Birmingham group? Time and location?

Hello! I don’t have health insurance which makes it so painfully expensive to go to the doctor. I’m hoping to get a recommendation for an affordable dermatologist without insurance. I have a spot that most likely will need to be biopsied, I know the lab charge would be separate as well. Just hoping someone has been in my shoes and had a reasonable bill. Please let me know if you have recommendations

Shout out if you were also there last night for JJ Grey & Mofro😂

Hello everyone, i really wanted to see cherry blossoms in full bloom but I missed it. Are the sakura trees still in bloom at Birmingham Botanical gardens?

Basically the title.

Have someone I'm worried about. The only way I can get them help is if I pay for it, but I don't have a lot to work with. They could potentially get on Medicaid, but I'm looking for anything sliding scale or just reasonably prices.

I had therapy myself for separate issues a while back, but I don't know their scope, and I also had insurance at the time that paid for it.

Much larger turnout for todays gathering at Railroad Park. Its not a moment its a movement.

Hello, I’m a frugal fellow and I have some wonderful clothes and blankets I want to keep, but they are worn out. I understand many laundromats will hem clothes. I am more interested in paying an individual for SASHIKO style mending or just visible mending.

Will provide pictures, just ask.

does anyone have a video of the fight from buffalo wild wings in hoover? i wanna seeeeeee. it’s been taken down elsewhere :(
