Helen, a new restaurant from Rob and Emily McDaniel

I had the great privilege to photograph an image library for the newly opened restaurant, Helen. I’ve long been a fan of Rob McDaniel’s food—from his time at SpringHouse or cooking with Jones Valley Teaching Farm—and I’m excited that this new venture, named for Rob’s grandmother, has come to Birmingham. Everything I’ve gotten to taste has been wonderful and I am proud and impressed with them pushing through to open safely during a global pandemic. Welcome to town, you all!
