Jimmy John’s debuts sandwich with giant cucumber instead of bread

The pickle bun sandwich has entered the mainstream.

On October 24, Jimmy John’s introduced its newest menu item – the Picklewich – which uses a kosher dill pickle in place of bread and includes all of the usual JJ’s accoutrements.

The savory sandwich will be available at participating locations nationwide from October 28th to November 14th.

Jimmy John’s offers the picklewich two ways:

• The Vito: This cucumber-based remix of the original Vito substance consists of a seeded kosher dill pickle stuffed with salami, capocollo, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, sauce and herbs.
• Turkey and Provolone: This one takes a gutted kosher dill pickle and stuffs it with turkey, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and onions.

In honor of its pair of Pickle Sammies, Jimmy John’s is also bringing back its pairing of Pickle Jimmy Chips.

To celebrate a spooky season of brine, Jimmy John’s has named noted pickle lover Snooki Polizzi as spokesman for the Picklewich launch.

To celebrate the launch, the “Jersey Shore” icon appears in a video as the hilarious “Pickle Witch.”
