The best grocery store bought pickles have to be Bubbe's pickles. They are from San Francisco and have no sugar and no preservatives. They are just pure dill flavor without overkill. Great!!

I saw that article. Pickles in jars are just not crunchy and flavorful like pickles you get at a deli. For good pickles, you have to find a deli and get 'em out of the barrel.

FWIW, I side with the article; Claussen's the best of th e bunch. I can't stand Vlasic.

Whole Foods Market sells some pickles that look promising, but I have yet to try them.

i'm a Vlasic girl

but you can't beat the huuuuuuuge barrels of dill pickles in random general stores, or on the NY streets.

Gotta be Tony Packo's Pickles!! http://www.tonypackos.com/history.html
A favorite of Jamie Farr's from M*A*S*H! Restaurant is in Toledo, Ohio' but pickles do travel! Enjoy! Sweet Hots are very tasty pickles with a kick, other varieties available too. Bet they would've garnered some positive comments from the survey!

I eat the Bah Tempte Half Sour pickles.. They are the best. It has to be the Half Sours though.. These are the ones that taste like the ones you get in all those Polish/Jewish delis in New York City.

i absolutely adore Nathan's Famous Dill Spears
oddly enough, I've yet to find them in a grocery in NYC, but they do have them Upstate and I stock up everytime I'm up there
they pack a wonderful vinegary and highly garlicky punch!

They are cheap, but I like Mt. Olive. Though their Sour Dills even make a die hard sour freak like me get a pucker face.

I second the vote for Nathan's pickles. I've only found them once, but they're the best grocery store pickles I've tried.

Strub's full sour kosher dills are my number one favourite, blow the rest of the competition out of the briney water.

(it's a canadian company)
