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.’
