Martha’s Place – Civil Rights and home cooking In Alabama!

During our trip to Montgomery, Alabama earlier this year we got a special treat when we stopped by the roadside restaurant Martha’s Place.
The owner, author and chef, Martha Hawkins, opened up to us about marching with Dr. King, her personal struggles and her ultimate triumph starting her own restaurant.
We had a great interview and a delicious meal!
Please make Martha’s Place your go-to spot when in Montgomery and support this amazing woman and get a real taste of the South!
