Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport
Birmingham, AL

Now I generally have a special place in my heart for a category that is "airport BBQ". I generally find this the lowest of low forms of food. I've had one exception to that and that's The Salt Lick at the Austin, TX airport. But here I am at the Birmingham airport at 4:30am and I find Jim 'n Nicks and it's open. Breakfast is usually pretty safe so I stepped in and saddled up the bar.
Now I know it's early and it was obviously early for the waitress. When she finally came around I asked for the Beef Brisket Breakfast Hash and before I got it all out she said "We ain't got no beef brisket or ham." I asked..."Can the cook do the hash with pulled pork?" She said "Hmmm...let me axe 'im".
She never came back with an answer...she just came back with breakfast.
Now I've got to say that I was definitely in Alabama. Regardless of this being inside an airport, the pulled pork was fresh, tender and good. Their sauce was more vinegary than I like but it had a good flavor.
For an impromptu early morning barbecue breakfast, I would definitely say that I got a good meal and I look forward to my next trip to Birmingham where I'll try an off-airport Jim 'n Nick's location.
