Meet David Bannister. He is a local Hoover foodie and CEO of FOMO!
I am a Hoover resident of 25 plus years. I pride myself on finding the most delicious, most enjoyable, and best overall restaurants/foods in Hoover. I also have a terminal case of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO).
I love this city and the abundance of food options it has to offer. So, Enjoy Hoover, my mission is to give anyone in Hoover (resident or guest) an insider’s guide, using a 10 Fork rating system on what to have, what to order, and where to go.

What do you want people to know about you?
I love travel, food, sports, family, and I have FOMO.
I’ve enjoyed serving on numerous Hoover organizations boards, being appointed to two terms on a school board, starting a kindness charity in leadership for Hoover-Neighborhood Bridges, starting two business in Hoover, and watching my kids experience life in Hoover.
