Dinner SOS by Bon Appétit

I Need Crisp, Briny Pickles

<p>10 years ago, Jenny had a half-sour pickle from <a href="https://www.zingermansdeli.com/">Zingerman's Deli</a> in Ann Arbor, MI... and it was life-changing. But Jenny lives in North Carolina. She hasn't been back to Michigan, and attempts to recreate the signature half-sour crunch in her own kitchen have been unsuccessful. Chris enlists BA resident fermentation enthusiast <a href="https://www.instagram.com/b_goutish/?hl=en">Amiel Stanek</a> (with a special appearance by Zingerman's cofounder <a href="https://www.zingtrain.com/trainer/ari-weinzweig/">Ari Weinzweig</a>) to concoct a "recipe" that'll have Jenny enjoying crisp, barely-pickled half-sours all summer long.</p>
