How this started

We're both born and raised in Huntsville. Michaela went to Sparkman, Arrington went to Oakwood, and we got married in October 2025.

What to Eat Huntsville is managed by Michaela, a Huntsville native with a career in communications and a passion for social media and storytelling. Arrington is a Tuskegee alum. Michaela is a UA and Mississippi State alum (Hail State and Roll Tide).

Our favorite foods are pho, ramen, tacos, and fried chicken, but we'll try almost anything. You may see friends or family in our videos now and then. At the heart of it, we're here to try all the great spots Huntsville has to offer.

We love to travel, and we always find the best food wherever we go: Dubai, Greece, Saint Martin, and Mexico, to LA, Vegas, Chicago, and beyond.
