The 55th Greasing of the Poles is almost here! I caught up with evie_eats to see how she’s preparing to compete in this one-of-a-kind, star-studded spectacle kicking off Mardi Gras weekend at The Royal Sonesta New Orleans. This year’s contestants: HaSizzle – The King of Bounce Lauren Haydel – The powerhouse behind Fleurty Girl Chelsea Brasted – Journalist and co-author of Axios New Orleans Evelyn Bories (evie_eats )– Local social media foodie in New Orleans With live music, celebrity judges, and a little bit of champagne-fueled chaos, you won’t want to miss it! As Caleb, the forever upbeat doorman, says best: ‘Everyone will be there… and they may even be a little tipsy.’ Friday, Feb 28 | 10 AM 📍:RoyalSonestaNO #Greasing2025 #GreasingofthePoles #mardigras
