The chef worked at the Marriott Hotel<br />
at Grand National and learned a great deal<br />
from a chef from New York and others who<br />
worked there. With a natural ability, Chef<br />
Bass quickly learned and began adding his<br />
creative influences to dishes.<br />
When John Robert Wood purchased Cafe<br />
123, he was offered a position as the sous<br />
chef and shortly afterwards became executive<br />
chef.<br />
When Chef Bass went to work at Cafe 123<br />
in 2005, there wasn’t much nightlife and<br />
only a few restaurants. Now downtown<br />
has grown with more restaurants, brewing<br />
companies and distilleries, making it a<br />
lively destination.<br />
Haynie’s started as a place for friends to<br />
gather for a good time, and that has continued.<br />
Although the ambiance is much more<br />
elegant and instead of an icy soda, it is an<br />
outstanding meal prepared by a talented<br />
chef.<br />
Cafe 123 is located at 123 S. 8th Street in<br />
downtown Opelika and is open Tuesday<br />
through Saturday for dinner at 5 p.m. and<br />
on Sunday for brunch from 11 a.m. until 2<br />
p.m. For further information or reservations<br />
