This Pickle-Bun Sandwich Is a Hit on TikTok

Do you like extra pickles on your sandwich?  How about MOSTLY pickles?

A Long Island deli called Seven Brothers Gourmet recently added a “Pickle Sandwich” to the menu . . . a hoagie with a pickle as the bun.  (Here’s a photo.)

They slice a pickle lengthwise.  Then they scoop out the middle to make room, and stuff it with meat, cheese, lettuce, bacon, and whatever else you want.

They started selling it in January.  But it only blew up a few weeks ago after someone posted about it on TikTok.  (Here’s the video.)

They’re not even the first to do it.  Another deli an hour east of them was already selling a pickle sandwich.  But they didn’t get the TikTok boost.  The owners of Seven Brothers say they’re currently selling about 250 of them a day, with lines out the door.

They’re easy enough to make yourself.  So, could pickle sandwiches be the trendy food this summer?
