Athens Grease Festival

From Athens Grease Festival Website:

Fried foods are Southerners' Achilles heel. Our kitchens are like art studios where recipes are perfected and new delights are born. We especially love to batter and fry standard fare like okra and fish, but we dont mind expanding the technique to Twinkies and Snicker bars. In Athens, Alabama, we have embraced our love of fried foods and the Greek origination of our name by hosting the Athens Grease Festival in downtown Athens on September 27, 2014.

Eating healthy is important, but we have set aside this time for our taste buds to enjoy the culinary creations we love to batter, dip, and fry. Grab a bed sheet, create your own toga, and bring your taste buds to the city that knows how to celebrate being a classic, living Southern, and having character.
