A Chef from Amsterdam Redefines Southern Cooking in Alabama

Mallory Scyphers — Wed, 07 Jan 2026 10:34:00 +0000

In Fairhope, Alabama, food and community are inseparable. Along the eastern shore of Mobile Bay, a rare early morning phenomenon known as a jubilee brings flounder, crab, and shrimp rushing to the shallows. This spectacle occurs in only two bodies of water in the world: Mobile Bay and Tokyo Bay. In coastal Alabama, neighbors once rang bells and knocked on doors to rouse each other, gathering at the water’s edge to share in the bay’s sudden bounty. That same spirit of resourcefulness and connection can be found at The Hope Farm, a modern and sustainable farm-to-table restaurant that draws from a web of local growing methods to bring fresh food to its tables. Both jubilees and The Hope Farm honor what the land provides and turn it into something worth gathering around, a philosophy mirrored by the restaurant’s newly promoted chef, Emily Ackerman.

Elevate savory smashburgers with melty raclette, candied bacon, peppery arugula, crispy shoe-string fries, and a layer of homemade apple butter.

They get their name from the Hasselbacken restaurant in Stockholm where the dish was popularized in the 1950s. Hasselback-inspired dishes feature artfully arranged […]
