#IFBC : I'm IN!

WooooHooooo! Somebody (thank you FOODISTA!) ponied up the dough for Pickle Freak to attend the the 2011 International Food Blogger Conference this weekend which will be held Fri-Sat-Sun at my favorite hotel, The Hotel Monteleone.

I can't wait to meet all of my fellow bloggers here in NOLA, the new city that I am thankful every single day that I now get to call home. I know that I have been busy checking out all of y'all's blogs and I imagine you'll return the favor. So here's a few things to get you all caught up on Pickle Freak:


1-I've always known I was a Pickle Freak and actually come from a line of Pickle Freaks- the song "Born This Way" should come to mind
2-I'm from Mississippi, lived in New York and then moved to NOLA. There are really amazing pickles in all 3 places.Coincidence?
3-John Besh is the keynote speaker at this year's IFBC. Did you know he makes really awesome pickles?
4-I have a lot of green and pickle themed clothing and wearing costumes is NOLA is perfectly acceptable.
5-If i didn't have a blog about pickles, I'd have one about fried food and a NOLA treat, SnoBalls.

YOU. MUST.HAVE.ONE. Talk to me, I'll set you on the right path (there is only one).


I'm really looking forward to the weekend. Safe travels getting here and welcome to NOLA!
