Trends in food come and go, but one particular item that always seems to have a cult following is the pickle. Recent menu items have surfaced around the country, in which the pickle is the star — from pickle pizza to pickle ice cream. If you’re a fan of this ultimate condiment, and you live in Kentucky, then you must familiarize yourself with Pops’ Pepper Patch. This local, family-owned company, based in Louisville, creates unique and flavorful pickles, among other items, and once you’ve had a bite, you’ll relish it forever.

Pops' Pepper Patch began in 1993 when Bob "Pops" Kamman retired and decided to spend his time making infused vinegars, jellies, and eventually other items like pickles. Along with his son, who runs the company now, they created a pickle-themed operation that Kentuckians quickly began to relish.

While Pops' sells many products, their pickles get quite a bit of attention. Called Habagardil Pickles, they are named after their ingredients: Habanero Peppers, with Garlic and Dill.
