the boyfriend and i had blackstrap bbq last night, a great bbq joint in winthrop owned & operated by a few old restaurant industry friends of mine. aside from the fact that i love all things southern, food included, i just had to give a shout out to the most amazing fried pickles i've ever had in my life. think of a marriage between your favorite dill pickle and the crispy fried chicken coating...yummm.
i found this recipe i might try myself one day...
