Huntsville residents spent many years yearning for good and innovative restaurants. Their wishes have come true in the 21st century. Huntsville has become Alabama's hotbed as a restaurant proving ground. My name is Mike Kaylor, and I've watched the transition.
I have been following restaurant trends for more than 30 years as a nightlife columnist, entertainment editor and restaurant critic. I began writing a column for The Huntsville Times in 1978 that focused on nightlife. In 1982, I helped design a television and entertainment tabloid called ShowTimes that included a restaurant review each week. As editor of the section, I assigned writers to review certain restaurants and wrote many of them myself. In 1996, the newspaper's editor assigned me to do all of the reviews to keep the style consistent. Six months later, the publisher asked that we start taking readers along on reviews. Hundreds of Huntsville Times readers have become guest restaurant reviewers since then.
