Pickle News Courtesy of Blackened Out

One of my favorite new blogs is called Blackened Out and it's run by a couple of guys (more?) down in New Orleans. My friend Randy was already a devotee when he showed it to me on our trip down there over New Year's Eve and now I find myself eagerly reading it daily.

Today I read their latest review of the new John Besh venture The American Sector and I was awestruck by the mention and photo of complimentary house made pickles served in a small mason jar. Do you have ANY idea how thrilling it is to see this and understand why? No, I don't think you do.



It's because it's like they are instructing you to drink the juice. You don't have to shoot whiskey or drink a pickle martini, just pick up your jar and drink dammit!

You may have also noticed that this article goes into further detail about actual food AND that the restaurant is in the WWII Museum but I didn't. I stopped at the jar.

Hey Pickle Freak,

It is just two of us. Peter, the dashing cavalier one, and Rene, the brooding malcontent.

Thanks for the link. Hope you make it down here soon.

I'm assuming Peter left that comment!
