We continue onto Week 6 of College Football, which means another delicious Football bite! This week I give you one of my favorite guilty pleasures-fried pickles! Nothing says let’s watch some football more than beer battered pickles. I remember the first time I tried fried pickles was in my hometown of Columbus, Ohio at The Old Bag of Nails Pub. I about fell out of my chair! Warm, crunchy, beer battered pickles served with a ranch dipping sauce-I was in heaven!

I know some of you that have not tried fried pickles think I am crazy for posting this recipe today, but for those of you that have tried them, I bet you are already making plans to try these! 😉 Trust me, you need these at your next tailgate!

So go ahead and pour yourself a cold one and sink your teeth into some incredible pickles! 🙂
