Holy Smoke Over Birmingham -- Birmingham, Alabama BBQ Documentary by Max Shores
From the site:
One of Birmingham's best known holy smokes was started in 1953 by Johnny Ray. The
Ray family has franchised the name and there are several Johnny Ray's restaurants, but the oldest one is on Valley Avenue (316 Valley Ave. Birmingham) and it is now operated by John Simonetti, who most folks call "Pop." Johnny Ray's is particularly known for the delicious banana, chocolate, lemon, and coconut cream pies from recipes developed by Johnny Ray's wife, Honey.

A friend of mine was teaching at Tuscaloosa and living in Birmingham...she told me about this place. I am sure this is what she is talking about. I just had to go google to find the name.
