Fig Tart

Fig Tart

Premier chef chris hastings boasts one of the summer’s best desserts at his Hot and Hot Fish Club in Birmingham. Known for his passion and preference for local produce, Chris uses at least four different kinds of figs throughout the summer to produce his acclaimed Fig Tart. August is the peak time for this sweet treat, which he offers on the menu until about mid-September. Says one of the happy tasters from our staff: “It’s like eating candy.” If you want to savor Chris’s Fig Tart for yourself, make a reservation at his Birmingham restaurant (2180 11th Court South) by calling (205) 933-5474. To try your own version at home, visit myrecipes.com and search “Black Mission Fig Tart.”
