Chef Gregg Collier Bio
Gregg Collier
Executive Chef
Chef Gregg Collier has a long history in the Birmingham area. Gregg’s maternal grandfather spent his working life in the legendary steel mills of Birmingham and taught Gregg to hunt and fish in the woods and waterways near Gadsden, where is grandmother still lives. He began his culinary journey the old-fashioned way: working at the family diner. After graduating from the Culinary Institute of America at Hyde Park, Gregg honed his chops working at some of New Orleans’ most famous culinary staples, including the James Beard award-winning Commander’s Palace and James Beard award-winner Susan Spicer’s Bayona (one of the top 50 restaurants in the world, according to Restaurant magazine). He learned to appreciate great southern seafood working in the kitchen at Chef Allen’s near Miami.
Later, Chef Gregg became Executive Sous Chef of Dickie Brennan’s Steakhouse, which led to tenures as Executive Chef for two more Brennan family restaurants: Foodies Kitchen, and the flagship Red Fish Grill. Now, as Executive Chef of Dixie Fish Co., Chef Gregg has returned to his Alabama roots and is bringing his passion and expertise for authentic Southern seafood to Birmingham.
Good People Bio
The Good People Brewing Company is a Birmingham-based brewery located at 114 14th Street, at the corner of 2nd Avenue South in the area of Birmingham's Railroad Park and Regions Field.
Good People grew out of a homebrewing hobby shared by Auburn University graduates Jason Malone and Mike Sellers. They began operating professionally in September 2007 at the former Southside Cellar Brewing Company location in Pickwick Plaza on Magnolia Avenue. The company's first brew, a brown ale, made its official debut at the July 4, 2008 celebration organized by the Five Points South Merchants Association. Good People Pale Ale was the first beer to become generally available, starting at the Five Points Grill and the J. Clyde on Cobb Lane. Other restaurants, bars and select liquor stores now carry the beer, which is distributed by the Birmingham Beverage Company.
