T-Minus 5 Days and Counting…
I’m Brian. Born and raised Polish American on the mean streets of Cheektowaga from parents with roots on the East Side of Buffalo. That’s where this chapter of the journey is set to end.

On August 18, 2012 at about 4:30pm there will be a tent on the corners of Clark and Kent streets in the heart of the East Side of Buffalo that will have 41 contestants anxiously awaiting to see if their pierogi will be labeled the Best Pierogi in Buffalo for 2012. I am going to be one of those 41.
Wanting to resurrect my grandmother’s traditional Polish recipes, I began making pierogi yearly with my father and a few friends every year. At first we just did your traditional cheese, sauerkraut or potato pierogi. I needed something more. A Taco pierogi was made one year, which came out alright but still didn’t quench my thirst for that ultimate off the wall pierogi.
