The everything pickle and pickled festival includes quirky dishes, merchandise, live performances and more — and they’re expanding this year to the Rachel Carson Bridge, plus an exclusive spot for shade and food on the 10th Street bypass. City Cast’s Morgan Moody & Megan Harris talk to the guy who helped make it happen, Jack Dougherty, about the shindig USA Today calls the best specialty food festival in North America.
