## Story

“Fried pickles have always been a fan favorite at Zaxby’s and one of the most requested products on our menu. To celebrate Father’s Day and to welcome fried pickles back on the menu full-time, we are offering Dads a free side of our beloved southern staple,” said Patrick Schwing, chief marketing and strategy officer at Zaxby’s.

Zaxby’s Fried Pickles are lightly dusted in a cornmeal batter and made from fresh, crinkle-cut thin slices of dill pickles and fried to golden brown perfection. Available as a shareable, they're served with a ranch sauce that is a blend of fresh buttermilk and herbs.

Zaxby’s recently announced the return of its beloved Fried Pickles as a permanent menu item and celebrated the cherished shareable on Twitter with a whimsy tweet, encouraging followers to reply in order to “get their profile photo fried.”

The Southern classic is available systemwide at participating restaurants as a stand-alone snack or as an add-on to complement one of Zaxby’s fan-favorite meals and sandwiches like the new Signature Club Sandwich with bacon and cheese.
