HELP! What Is a “Picklewich,” and Why Are People So Excited About It?

By Jordan-Paige Sudduth Leave a Comment

Seeing as we go to Disney World almost every day and try alllll the newest snacks, drinks, and desserts released in the parks, we’ve tried some — er — interesting things.

Do you like pickles?

Fun fact about the Disney Food Blog team! We’re pretty divided on pickles. Some of us love ’em, some…not so much. (Hot tip: those pickles in pouches that are sold in the parks are a great source of electrolytes AND are delicious!) But for a lot of us, there’s a limit to our love of the briny snack. Apparently, there’s something called a “Picklewich” at a popular sandwich chain, and lots of people are THRILLED that it’s finally back. We’ll be honest, though. We can’t tell if that sounds like heaven…or reaches our threshold of “too much pickle.”

Pickle fans: head over to Jimmy John’s ASAP, because according to Good Morning America, the iconic Picklewich is finally back. It originally debuted last fall and was a big hit. What exactly IS a Picklewich, though? Well, it’s a regular sandwich…except not at all, because the bread has been replaced with hollowed-out pickles.

That’s not all, though, because Jimmy John’s has also revealed that a new pickle ranch is now on the menu, as well as new Pickle Jimmy Chips. If you’re looking to grab yourself one of these unique sandwiches, there are six different varieties to choose from. You can select Vito and Turkey, both of which were previously available, as well as new Ham, Roast Beef, Tuna, or Veggie Picklewiches.

There’s also a new Triple Pickle Meal available. When it comes to pricing, a Picklewich starts at $7.59, Pickle Ranch starts at 69 cents, and the Pickle Jimmy Chips start at $1.99, but prices may vary depending on where you’re located.

Jimmy John’s Rewards members will get early access to the Picklewich during the company’s “Pickle Freak Weekend” from October 24th through 26th, with the items officially debuting on October 27th. We know some members of our team are really looking forward to trying this, while others are planning to stay far away. Regardless, we have a feeling there will be enough demand that Jimmy John’s may be pretty packed over the next week, so keep that in mind if you plan to dine there!
