I like dill pickles but I tend to like the ones they use in restaurants more than anything you can buy in a regular store. The floppy kind of sad looking ones, but wow I can eat them up. Does anybody know? Thanks

Since most restaurant food comes from Sysco, I suggest you go to the Sysco planet and ask the giant space slug to poo poo some out for you.

Buy the cheapest fresh pickles you can find, freeze them, defrost in a microwave, throw them back in the fridge. They will be rubbery and limp enough to pass as lovely restaurant or deli pickles.

you mean the slices that come on burgers or the spears that come with deli sandwiches?

You probably want kosher dills. Have you tried Bubbies? They are as close as you can get to restaurant style. Health food stores tend to carry them since they have no preservatives.

Uh did you try the grocery store OP? If you want literally the same pickles they come in 5 gal buckets and you can get them from Sysco food supply.

the ones you are talking about are just generic dill spears that have been sitting in the brine too long and went rubbery

When I was working in a kitchen, some lady came back to tell us she loved the ranch dressing we used and wanted us to get her some, so on the next order we added an extra gallon tub of lovely Sysco-brand ranch and charged her wholesale for it, so you should probably just go to a local restaurant and say you want them to order you a 5gal tub of Block & Barrel pickles (that's the Sysco pickle brand) and see if they'll do it. Try it with enough restaurants and one of them is bound to help you out.

Don't you just love the sound two pickle slices make when you rub them together?

Be careful not to accidentally end up with a pickle creature instead of just a pickle. You can purchase a book on the dangers of this situation by noted pickle expert Daniel Pinkwater.

Pickles are really good and I love a good deli kosher dill pickle so I fully support this thread. Look for resturant supply stores in your area maybe? Or go to a deli and just ask where they get theirs!

Chinatown posted:Pickles are really good and I love a good deli kosher dill pickle so I fully support this thread. They either make them, or get them from Sysco or another giant food service company (probably Sysco). This is true of drat near everything you find in most restaurants, except ones that use specialty or extremely high-quality ingredients.

The sysco brand block and barrel as said above are pretty decent for restraunt pickles. They come in the 5 gallon buckets and I think in 2.5 as well. We had a waitress who bought two five gallon buckets of them in a month. It was obscene. Yeah she was pregnant but those drat buckets holdover 300 pickles.

Yeah, and if you get a bucket of them, you should also pick up a pail opener from amazon or wherever:  Otherwise you're going to tear your fingers up trying to pry the lid off.

If you're not going to open a lot of buckets a screwdriver will do the job just fine.

GFS seems slightly less terrible than Sysco, for what it's worth. I think all those companies also have their tentacles in related industries, like selling menu covers and that sort of stuff. If you're a restaurant, you best stay on their good side.
