Food Blog South 2011

Jim 'N Nick's Bar-B-Q was proud to host the opening party for the first annual Food Blog South Conference that was held this past weekend in Birmingham, Alabama. Our Executive Chef, Drew Robinson created some great snacks for the bloggers to eat while sharing and listening to food stories that were collected by the Desert Island Supply Company www.desertislandsupplyco.com. Desert Island Supply co. is a nonprofit writing center based in historic Woodrow Hall, in the heart of the Woodlawn commercial district on the East side of Birmingham, Alabama. Bloggers, presenters, sponsors and Southern food folk gathered in the lovely 5 Points location of Jim 'N Nick's to eat fried catfish, pulled pork sliders and their famous pimento cheese and hot links--a snack that has traveled from coast to coast, picking up pimento cheese converts nationwide. Thanks to Shaun Chavis and Jason Horn for organizing such a great event and thanks to all of you bloggers for spreading the love!
