International Pickle Week is such a big dill that it spans 10 whole days in 2025. You’ll have until Tuesday, May 27 to relish this time by:
- treating yourself with a pickle dish from your favorite restaurant
- grabbing a jar of local pickles at the market
- pickling up your own dish in your kitchen.
Treat yourself with the South Wrigley Chicago Dog
How do you make a good hot dog better? Put a pickle on it. A LEXtoday reader Elisabeth DeForest tipped us off to this dog that’s topped with all the sides + served on a poppy-seed bun. After we checked it out ourselves, we’re kind of mad they didn’t tell us sooner. Pro tip: Resist the urge to cut it in half — just bite into it.
Pick up a jar of Pop’s Pepper Patch pickles
Lovers of Kentucky Proud pickle products probably already know that HABAGARDIL is the special blend of habaneros, garlic + dill that inspired these pickle packers to spin-off more than half a dozen flavors in the past 30 years. The pickles are widely available at Lexington-area Liquor Barn retailers.
DIY: Dillicious Dip Mix you can make in under a minute
Want your friends to think you’re the real dill in the kitchen? Just whip up this dip from Lexington-based Flag Fork Herb Farm by stirring in some mayo + sour cream. Chill it in your fanciest dish and serve it at your weekend gathering. Pro tip: Pass it off as your own recipe + we promise not to tell.
