Both Portlands---Maine and Oregon---are obsessed with good food. So are Seattle, Boston and Birmingham, Alabama.” Food journalists are thronging to Birmingham to see why.Food is a huge part of the total hotel experience. At The Tutwiler, we are pleased to introduce the newest and most exciting addition to the city’s food scene with our signature restaurant, called icon. The restaurant is owned and operated by renowned Birmingham restaurateurs Geoff Slate and Alan Dobbs, who created the innovative Restaurant G In the city center.
