Interesting… Barking Kudu, Best New Restaurant
My husband asked me this morning if I knew where Chef Arman DeLorenz was cooking now, and when I asked if he was back in Tuscaloosa or one of his old haunts here in Birmingham, was directed to page 2B of the Birmingham News:
Restauranteur DeLorenz Arrested
…looks like he was picked up on Thursday, “charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance, driving under the influence, and leaving the scene of an accident” as well as had a warrant against him for possession of a couple of drugs I’ve never heard of. Oh, Chef DeLorenz, please get it figured out. You are *so* talented. SO talented. I wonder if they’ll be having his signature white chocolate bread pudding tonight in Columbiana.

Anyone see the “Best of” Birmingham in today’s City Scene?
- Best New Restaurant: The Barking Kudu
- Best Local Boy Made Good: Frank Stitt
- Best Restaurant: Highland’s
- Best Hot Dog: Chicago Mike’s
- Best Barbecue: Full Moon
- Best Italian: Bottega
- Best Meat & Three: Niki’s West
- Best Fried Green Tomatoes: Irondale Cafe. REALLY? Those are the worst I have had (and because I want them to be good, I’ve gotten them several times). Just can’t get over that heavy tempura-like greasy breading they put around them.
- Best Fried Chicken: Publix. Again, really?
Interesting… Best New Restaurant went to the Barking Kudu. That’s the one place of all the choices I had not been to. I thought it was just a bar!? Someone explain if you’ve been there.
Not listing all the winners but thought these were interesting…

Comments:
The Barking Kudu started serving food a while back. It’s actually quite good. A range of sandwiches, and some really good tex-mex. Most of the sandwiches have an African theme. The atmosphere in the evenings and weeknights is pretty laid back, and they’re open for lunch too. Nothing like the Fri and Sat night crowds. It’s especially nice when the weather gets warmer and you can sit on that nice big patio.
One of the Best Patios in Town
The Barking Kudu, located in the Lakeview District of Birmingham, opened in 2002 as a bar, music venue, and private events facility. In 2010 they added a kitchen and now offer a lunch and late night menu that features deli and signature sandwiches, signature salads and Tex-Mex.
The Barking Kudu has one of the best patios in town — it’s perfect for enjoying a happy hour beer, catching a comedy show on Mondays or watching live music on Fridays and Saturdays.
And since everyone asks at some point, Kudus are a variation of the antelopes residing in dense bush or forest areas.
- Drink Specials and Happy Hour: Monday through Saturday 3-8pm
- Monday: Comikaze Open Mic Stand Up $2 High Lifes starting at 8pm
