To celebrate the last day of Pepper Place Market 2011, I decided to head down there in search of three items. The first item I was hoping to find was pasture raised eggs. Unfortunately the chickens didn't cooperate. The second item I was seeking out was some wonderful breakfast to take home and surprise my family. This was a success. I found the Mix Guy shivering in his hoodie, so he quickly sold me 3 tasty croissants loaded with almond goodness. The third item I was seeking was coffee, but to be honest, the real reason I went was to hang out with Woody, the owner and roaster of FinerGrind Coffee Roasters. Not only is he an excellent roaster, but he is the kind of guy everyone either knows or wants to know. Woody loves coffee and loves people; it shows in his work and in his conversation. Birmingham is fortunate to have FinerGrind as part of its budding culinary community. The kind of integrity and care he puts into his work shows with every batch he roasts.
Well enough about my trip to Pepper Place. It's time to brew the magic!
