Our Favorite Pickle Influencers

Influencers hold the keys to modern consumer trends. A cute video of a couple trying the latest viral pickle dip can eventually lead to a real impact on an industry’s supply and demand, influencing the pickle economy as a whole. Not every influencer can create a sustainable brand based solely on their love of pickles, but these creators are thriving under their niche successes.

Here are our favorite pickle influencers:

The Pickled Guy

Ryan Lucas is known on social media as “The Pickled Guy: The Original Pickled Food Reviewer Since 2020.” Lucas started reviewing pickled items during the COVID-19 pandemic as a joke with his oldest daughter to gain more of a following than she had. Since then, he has made over 2,500 videos dedicated to only reviewing pickled foods. What a king!

Pickle Queen

The Pickle Queen always orders extra pickles. Her most popular videos document the amount of pickles on her burger orders from fast food restaurants, after asking for “extra pickles.” The Wendy’s TikTok account even commented “we got you” under her video, priding themselves on being liberal pickle providers. The Pickle Queen compares the generosity of chains like McDonald's, Wendy's, Subway, and more, so you don’t have to.

Iz Eatz Everything

Iz is a cooking and tasting digital creator, with popular TikTok series like Roll for Pickles, where she rolls dice to randomly generate the ingredients of her next pickle creation. Iz creates off-the-wall pickle combinations, like Buldak Pickles and Pickled Hot Bologna, teaching viewers how to make the most of their pickling opportunities.

Vlasta

Vlasta is a Russian and Erzya native folk practitioner, a teacher of Slavic folklore, and a self-proclaimed “pickle sommelier.” In her TikTok series, Pickle Sommelier, she sits in silk dresses and reviews pickles she finds at the store. It’s a mood.

The Pickle Priest

Previously profiled in an article by the Pickle Report, the Pickle Priest is a viral Renaissance Fair sensation. He blesses people with his holy pickles at fairies, conventions, and pickle-related events across the country, in the name of the brine and the barrel. And yes, you can hire him to officiate your wedding.

The Pickled Princess

After covering the Pickle Queen, it’s only right to give a shoutout to the Pickled Princess, aka Nicole Lowden. Lowden is a lifestyle blogger under @coliecreations and a pickle influencer and reviewer, taste-testing big labels and local brands alike with a big crunch and a good attitude.

Linus Mercer, aka Pickle Linus

Pickle Linus has made his mark on the pickle influencer scene with his creative dill pickle tasting challenges, his self-run NYC Pickle Crawl, and his dedication to the love of the pickle. His bio claims “lots of newspapers” have called him “The Belle of the Pickle Ball,” and who are we to fact-check such a noble statement? You go, Pickle Linus!
