In celebration of the 60th consecutive year of October Beef Month in Alabama, the Alabama Cattlemen’s Association (ACA) has unveiled a promotion titled “60 Savory Stops.” Preston’s Steak and Grill in Luverne earned its place on the list for its famous ribeye steak.
The promotion highlights 60 former restaurant winners and finalists of the Alabama’s Best Steak, Bama’s Best Beef and Bama’s Best Burgers contests, which have been hosted by the ACA for more than a decade.
“To celebrate 60 years of October Beef Month, we decided to look back at our past beef contest winners and finalists,” ACA Executive Vice President Erin Beasley said. “The 60 Savory Stops promotion is an effort to highlight Alabama restaurants who are serving up great beef dishes and encourage consumers to visit them during Beef Month in Alabama.”
Traditionally, a social media driven contest collects restaurant nominees and puts them head-to-head in a bracket challenge until one is crowned the winner. For more than 10 years, the ACA has hosted these contests in October and, as a result, has established a robust list of fan-favorite beef dishes from across the state of Alabama.
