Looking for low-carb or gluten free alternatives that don't, um, suck? New Jersey-based sandwich shop Elsie's has created a solution so life-changing, even the biggest bread-heads will kick carbs to the curb. The restaurant is replacing traditional buns with giant pickles—and yep, it's as fantastic as it sounds.

So, what are the options here? How does it work? Elsie's—appropriately nicknamed "Home of the Pickle Sandwich"—has got a few routes for you: build your own, order a specialty sub, or try a roll-up. Their menu includes everything from a traditional Italian to the "Homage To Katz" sammie with turkey, corned beef, Swiss cheese, homemade thousand island dressing, and coleslaw—a nod to the iconic New York City deli, I assume.

The roll-ups, another worthy and health-conscious option, are basically sushi-sized wraps and are available as six-piece orders. Menu options include roast beef, falafel, corned beef, turkey, and more. Plus, there are toppings aplenty: cheese, sauce, veggies, slaw, and my personal pick, spicy red pepper spread. If you're not big on pickles, Elsie's offers sliced cucumbers as an alternative bread substitute.

"We are a sandwich shop but, in lieu of bread, we use our Elsie’s signature pickle," Elsie’s co-owner, Katherine Cohen, told Thrillist. "We have a family pickle recipe that we resurrected, and we started making sandwiches on our signature pickles, and people lost their minds so we just rolled with it."

Can't make it to the East Coast for a taste test? We tried out the trend ourselves and in my totally unbiased option, the Delish pickle sub recipe stacks up.
