Munch On Pickles All Day Long At The Fried Pickle Festival In Tennessee
Pickles are perhaps one of the most underrated foods on the market, wouldn’t you say? Maybe because they’re polarizing, or perhaps because they’re usually an addition or appetizer as opposed to the main course. In Loudon, Tennessee however, the pickle takes the front and center spot come the end of summertime. Not just your average pickle, either. The fried pickle.

The fried pickle is a true hero in the American south. A salty, crunchy, decadent treat, it's won the hearts of locals and tourists alike.
