About This Business

The Scalded Dawg has been serving up fantastic flavors throughout downtown Birmingham, Gardendale, and nearby communities since Tom Akers embraced retirement in 2024. After a tough workday, Tom often joked, "One day, I'll just throw in the towel and start selling hot dogs on the street!" While his co-workers may have laughed it off, those who truly knew him understood his deep love for cooking—a passion he now pours into every single catering event.
That enthusiasm isn’t just evident in the food. It's in the energy and fun The Scalded Dawg brings. Don’t just take our word for it—see for yourself! Head over to our Facebook reel to catch a glimpse of the unforgettable atmosphere we create and the unbelievably delicious food Tom creates.
