This is the entrance to the original dale's Cellar Restaurant. Located in the midst of the financial district of downtown Birmingham, Alabama. The "Cellar's" name derived from the fact that the restaurant was located in the cellar of a multi-story apartment building. On the awning you'll note the words "air conditioned" - not a small amenity in 1949.

dale's Seasoning was first bottled in Birmingham in 1946. Since its creation as the "house marinade" for dale's Cellar Restaurant, we have discovered that people are using dale's in a multitude of recipes from sauces to salad dressings and everything in between. Our loyal customers and friends have shared with us their favorite recipes over the years and we have assembled them in the dale's 50th Anniversary Commemorative Cookbook.
