Today is Pickle Fest, too.
Good morning. Here’s what you need to know for Friday March 18, 2016:
It’s a big week for Bagel Street Deli.
Today marks the Uptown restaurant’s annual Pickle Fest eating competition. There's more, the Court Street staple was featured alongside Big Mamma’s Burritos in a list recently posted to website Only In Your State naming 11 extremely tiny, yet amazing restaurants in Ohio.
The website called Bagel Street a “unique,” albeit crammed place to eat — “especially during Picklefest.”
Its description of Big Mamma’s misspells the restaurant’s name and incorrectly claims it has two Athens locations, however Only In Your State called the Big Mamma’s “more than satisfying.”
