Jimmy John’s in Calgary Dials Up the Dill with Giant Picklewich

Jimmy John’s, the fast-casual sandwich chain, has just launched a new sandwich option that’s sure to make your eyes pop: the Picklewich. This latest addition to the menu replaces the traditional bread with a giant, sliced pickle, offering a unique and unexpected twist for sandwich lovers in Calgary.

The Picklewich comes in five varieties: Turkey, Vito, Roast Beef, Ham, and Veggie. Each version features a half-sliced pickle as the base, topped with your choice of meat, cheese, and veggies. According to Angelo Ragas, the brand leader at Foodtastic, the Canadian operator of Jimmy John’s, the new sandwich is a hit. “The bread is gone, but the dill is great,” he said.

While the Picklewich is only available for a limited time at participating locations, this new offering is a clear indication that Calgary’s food scene is always evolving. As an expat who’s been here for five years, I’ve seen my fair share of culinary trends, and this one certainly stands out. If you’re in the market for something different, be sure to try the Picklewich soon.
