3 ways to mark International Pickle Week in Louisville

Whether you’re looking to order some fried pickles at a restaurant, buy a jar of pickles from the store, or make your own pickled dish at home — we’ve got your cravings covered.

Very dill pickle

Locals Food Hub, 822 E. Broadway, stocks enough Kentucky Proud pickles + pickled products to try a new treat every day during International Pickle Week.

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:

  • ordering up a plate of fried pickles
  • grabbing a jar of local pickles at the market
  • pickling a classic Louisville spread — with some help from a local chef.

Order up apps at Momma’s Mustard, Pickles & BBQ

Known for its bread + butter sweet pickles, you can’t go wrong with a standard side of Momma’s Fried or the spicier, Mucho Macho Fried Hot Pickles. Pro tip: Mama’s also does an all-day bloody mary, rimmed with salt, spices + garnished with — you guessed it — Mama’s signature bread-and-butter-pickle.

Pick up a jar of Pop’s Pepper Patch pickles

Louisville pickle lovers probably know that HABAGARDIL is the special blend of habaneros, garlic + dill that inspired these local pickle packers to spin-off more than half a dozen flavors in the past 30 years. Fun fact: Bet you didn’t know that the tart punch of Pop’s pickles inspired Atrium Brewing Co. to produce its surprisingly sour Pickle G Gose.

DIY this Dill Pickle Benedictine recipe at home

Louisville chef + restaurateur Ryan Rogers (Feast BBQ, Royal’s Hot Chicken, Bar Vetti) shared this tangy twist on Louisville’s beloved cream cheese spread with “Garden + Gun” — recommending a blend of certain pickles and a pinch of dill to give it a kick. If you try making it at home, make sure to tell us how it is.
