In 2020, the pickle scene in California was crying out for a touch of New York-style zest. Scott Kaylin, ever the opportunist, saw the gap and turned the pandemic pause into a pickle revolution. He launched a one-of-a-kind pickle tasting bar at The Original Farmers Market in Los Angeles, filling the West Coast's pickle void with mouthwatering tang.
Fast forward four years, and Kaylin’s pickle venture has evolved spectacularly. What began as a singular pickle stand has transformed into a culinary sensation with the introduction of the "pickle boats"—a concept so popular that Kaylin + Kaylin Pickles has trademarked the name.
So, what exactly are pickle boats? Imagine your favorite pickles hollowed out to create a vessel for delightful fillings that blend with the pickle’s crunch and coolness. These pickle boats are the ultimate flavor carriers, and they come in combinations that will make your taste buds dance.
One standout from the menu is the Nutella + peanut butter + pretzel pickle boat. This decadent treat features warm, gooey peanut butter nestled inside the pickle, paired with creamy Nutella and crunchy pretzels. The hollowed-out pickle's briny notes balance the rich, sweet fillings, creating a harmony of flavors that’s hard to resist.
If sweet doesn’t tickle your fancy, the savory options will surely win you over. The cream cheese, lox, and everything bagel seasoning pickle boat has quickly become a crowd favorite. This combination is not only delicious but is poised to become the new go-to for keto enthusiasts looking for a satisfying, low-carb snack.
Since opening, the pickle boats have attracted massive crowds and glowing reviews. Kaylin’s boast—that his pickles can convert even the most ardent pickle skeptics—seems to hold true.
Curious whether these pickle boats are the next big thing or just a passing trend? Head over to The Original Farmers Market in Los Angeles and see for yourself. With every bite, you'll understand why these pickle boats have become the talk of the town.
