A husband-and-wife-owned Walnut Hills deli is making its “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” debut on Aug. 22.
Pickled Pig co-owners Gary and Libby Leybman broke the news in an Instagram post, writing “The ‘Pig is out of the sty’ we are so pumped to finally let yall know the news!”
The eatery located at 645 E. McMillan St. will appear in season 42, episode 3 of the beloved Food Network show led by celebrity chef Guy Fieri.
The episode called “Flavortown Flavorfest” lists the Cincinnati spot at FoodNetwork.com, describing it as “a husband-and-wife team in Cincinnati specializing in farm-to-table and fermentation, plating a prime-time pork burger with kimchi, plus smoked turkey and sauerkraut on sourdough.”
The first episode of season 42 also featured a local restaurant, with Fieri trying Camporosso in Ft. Mitchell’s legendary Cincinnati Style Chili Pizza.
Fieri teased his “Triple-D” Cincinnati filming to The Enquirer on May 5 while visiting Jungle Jim’s in Eastgate.
“We just shot three ‘Triple D’ joints today that are what I call ‘destination restaurants,’ like you would drive a couple hours to come and get to one of these restaurants. And I’m not going to tell you what they are yet. You probably already know, but they’re big and they’re hot. Get ready,” he said.
Pickled Pig’s feature premieres Friday, Aug. 22, before airing several times after that on the Food Network. Here’s how to watch.
