OPELIKA —
As the sun lowered on the horizon in the back of the Museum of East Alabama Tuesday evening, music and tantalizing aromas began to drift onto the street in downtown Opelika from the Taste of the Town event. Restaurants, breweries and a distillery provided plenty of scrumptious fare — from shrimp and grits to Belgium truffles. Featured were Botanic, Zazu, Café 123, The Waverly Local, Longhorn Steakhouse, Niffer’s, Irish Bred Pub, Tart and Tartan Bakery, Ursula’s Catering, Jefferson’s, Butcher Paper Barbecue, Cakeitecture Bakery, Acre, Chicken Salad Chick, Takoyaki, Red Clay Brewing, John Emerald Distilling Company and The Bottling Plant Event Center. Silent auction items include a wine and cheese party for 35 at Fig and Ivy Event Center from Stanley Sistrunk, items from Envy Hair Salon, The Gallery on Railroad, Surcie Shoppe and golf packages from the AU Club and Saugahatchee Country Club, among others. Sponsors were AuburnBank, Smith T Building Supply, The Observer, Starr Insurance Group LLC and Jeffcoat-Trant Funeral Home.
